| | If the site still apears closed to you that means that your ISP has not updated it's nameserver cache. There is nothing I can do about it. Although some say clearing your PC's local dns cache can help I am not really sure about it. Google how to flush your computer's dns cache, it may help if you are not resolving to the new server. |

Lets Give This a Shot?

| OK, the DNS propigated quite quickly for me. I hope most people have the same result. The site has been moved and vBulletin updated to the latest v3.8.5. I am about to lift the access block.
If you are having login issues please clear cookies and temp internet browser files and try again.
GOOD LUCK!!! |

First Part Completed

OK, the physical transfer has gone through. I have updated the DNS to point to the new server. This is what could take time depending on your ISP and how often they update their DNS lookups. If you go to P4TM and immediately get a pop-up login then you are viewing the site on the new server. Do NOT try to login with your user-pass in that pop-up as it won't work. That is to keep everyone out while I run the upgrade scripts and such. No way in hell I will give an ETA as I always get them wrong so more info will be posted here as it is available. |

P4TM, Game On

APC is back up and caching. It seems this was the issue, just wished I figured it out sooner. As of now the server seems to be humming along nicely and the sites are responding well. Still amazes me how much that little program does in terms of performance. Either way, sorry for the issues the last few days. |

Current State
- 11.01.2010
- Chef: 38
| Chef @ 11:50PM EST:
After some research I think I have narrowed down the issues of the last couple days. After the PHP update it seems that APC, a program that caches compiled PHP code, has not been running. This could easily be the cause of the server issues. I have a ticket open with my server guys to get it up and running again. It could be 10 min or 4 hours, not sure on their current workload and such. Either way, it makes no sense to open the forum in it's current state and I have to go to bed soon (work early AM).
So, if they get it back in operation within the next 30 min or so I will turn the forum back on, if not, hopefully it will be operating by 6AM EST when I wake up and I can turn it on then.
More info as I have it. |

BTW, Ended up OK

| They were actually setting up to wipe the drive and reload an blank OS on the server. They tried one last hardware swap and that did the trick. The server lives.
I am working an upgrade deal though for the near future. I would say within the next 1-3 months I will be upgrading our server. It's been almost 4 years on this machine so it's time. |

Does not sound good....

Well, this is the reply to my support ticket:
----------
I just came back from the DC working on your server. It will not boot up. When I first consoled it, it was sitting on the GRUB screen, showing just the word GRUB. After I reboot it, it does nothing. It wont POST, or boot. We are going to have to take it down to look into. We are already a bit backed up because of this morning, so my work bench already has 1 server on it, another ready to go on it. Ill let you know when I am able to look into your server.
------------
So, I have no idea. I have to work tomorrow 7am-7pm so I am not sure what to tell you guys. The good news is that the server went down at 10AM and I have a database backup from 5AM. So if there are disk issues we should only lose a couple of early morning hours of data.
I will keep you updated as the info comes in. |
