New Server

[Mopar1973Man]

Ed right... The new server is going to have much more horsepower. Like as the survey asked every time I call support. "Would you suggest this to others?" Yes. I would. The tech team is all English speaking and also work directly with you on your problem. Not like GoDaddy where the guy on the phone could be any foreign speaking and then constantly relying on a second guy in the field somewhere to fix it. So yes I'm rather impressed with the iPage's team. Oh one last thing VPS (Virtual Private Servers) get a total different phone number and support team! Trust me these guys know what there doing.

When I first talked to the SALES guy at iPage, I think he knew more about servers than the whole GoDaddy support team. All the right questions were asked to ensure that the server would be capable to float the site for quite some time.

Well like I found out this morning I can be flopped over on the new server in much less time today. I've got a few lat minute backups to do and flip the IP address and blam we will be on the new site very very soon.

I would like to apologize for the bumps and possible lost data from this mornings bounce from one server to another. It wasn't till I deleted the old database before I figured out what was going on. The config files are read only and so I could read them from the site, edit, save them local and attempt to upload. But I wasn't seeing a permission error for what ever reason. So like I said there might be a few things missing today but it should be running now all on the new server.

Ok... Any comments, complaints, problems or errors found with the new server running?

[Yankneck696]

It sure is quick. I had never noticed it was slow as it was.

Time to collapse...

 

I got to admit it wasn't to hard to do but learning a new server took time then debugging the server then debugging software settings.

I wish... I was sitting here banging against several 500 Server errors and 404 page missing errors. Then lose the MySQL database a few times.    It was cause by trying to write to a read only file and wondering why the server wasn't on the right database.

Seems to be working great. Glad to hear the good feedback so far on the new hosting setup.

I've noticed  a  longer time  when  posting a reply.

I  hit  "POST"  and  the  little green  box come out  with the  progress/working   lights    running...  but  it  takes  about 10  seconds  for it to  finish.  Then it  doesn't re direct back to the  thread.   It  still shows my   original   reply box with the text I typed.  

When I  hit re-fresh,    all is good.    Something at my end?

[Yankneck696]

It's being worked on.

I've working on tuning the server. So as little problem crop up I'm attempting to nail them down.
