Server Migration Tomorrow Morning
Posted: Wed Jun 28, 2006 11:46 am
We're finally ready to make the final migration to our new server! This will require that I shut the forums down and start moving the vBulletin database early tomorrow morning.
I will also be making the necessary DNS changes to point everyone to the new server IP address. Keep in mind that the DNS change could take anywhere from an hour to a couple of days to replicate to your ISP. You'll know you're reaching the new server when the forums are open again (I'll leave them closed on the old server) and our daily news resumes.
A lot of preliminary work has gone into streamlining the software and configuration files on the new server to ensure that the entire website runs much better after the migration is complete. I'm confident that this will finally put an end to the database errors and we should all see a considerable performance boost when loading each page. Stay tuned for more information.
