New Server Install still in Progress, the site should not see anymore downtime.

This is Phase 1. Phase 2 will be a seperate database server, and hopefully there will be no downtime in implementation.

Ok,
The site seems fast but it was fast before...!
Glad your back.....!!!

Hope it wasn't too much stress...

^ The idea wasn't speed, but simply reliability under a large strain created by huge amounts of simultaneous users. Therefore these servers have more memory, multiple CPU's, and several cores attached to each cpu.

ok, Got you... Yes, your correct. Forums cause high cpu cycles... and general demand...
You have bbforums on a dedicated server?

Yes, been on it's own dedicated server for a few years now.

BBFAQ is down.... Blank page...

Tom is aware.

Thanks, it's back up but the script is not working for posts / updates / ect... No biggie and thanks again..

Likewise, the wap site is still down at this time. Getting 404. Attempted from two different BlackBerrys on different carriers through this afternoon.

I'm not sure what your using on the web server "server", but you might want to look at LiteSpeed (LiteSpeed Technologies : Products - Web Server - Overview) I've heard nothing but good things about it (although it is a bit pricey).

I was unable to log on to the new server (kept getting the maintenence page.) A big THANKS to Jibi who helped me get up and running since apparently my ISP is slow to update their DNS. Thanks, Jibster!

I have everything working on this side.. is this still effected?

Everything is working now except the compare diff which gives an:


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/bbfaq/public_html/includes/DifferenceEngine.php on line 342

error..

Thanks

Lunk, I have been getting that error (parse error) for about two weeks--sorry I have not reported it, I have been too busy with work.

This has now been fixed as well!

Thanks!

Awesome! Thanks!!!!!
