Title: Server Downtime (May 3rd)
Post by: Mayhem on May 01, 2020, 01:09:38 AM
This server will be down for about 30 minutes on May 3rd starting at 7PM PST.

The reason for this downtime is that I am moving everything to a new dedicated server. Technology changes quickly, and I was able to get a server 5x more powerful for a bit less than what I'm paying now.

If there are any additional delays, I will post updates on the PC twitter page.

Thanks!

The new server is really nice and I won't have to upgrade again for many years.

A new server, that's great Mayhem! Will we see much of a difference in the site when you're set back up?

That's tough to say .. I have things pretty optimized as it is. The biggest difference is what happens behind the scenes before anything is displayed.

The server is going down in 30 minutes for the transfer. I don't expect any issues or for it to take any longer than 20 minutes.

... and we're back!

I may still have to do a final reboot but everything should be working now.

Thanks!

It was a pretty smooth transition considering I had install an OS, set it up, install all the programs - and then move 50+ configuration files over to the correct directories.

Sounds too much like work!
