Author Topic: Server upgrade coming soon (Read 1259 times)

Hello everyone! Our current server configuration is struggling to keep up with our server needs so an upgrade is essential. Sometime in mid to late Feb we will be moving the site to a new more powerful dedicated server. During this time the site/forum may not be accessible. The downtime could be anywhere from 4 hours to 48 hours.
Once I get the new server ordered I will put out concrete dates and times.

And there was much rejoicing.

Now to help subsidize the server and the time put in, I sincerely hope that a number of UO regulars sign up for Premium Memberships!

I second this! Every little bit helps.

Good news

Great to hear! I've been getting lots of "the server is under high stress" messages.

MyTwoSense · « **Reply #7 on:** January 27, 2013, 01:02:55 AM »

So who is buying a premium membership?

We've had one new member sign up so far.

That was me. You might want to mention where to sign up for a premium membership. It took me a few minutes to locate it under the "My Proile" section. I guess I just mentioned it

Thanks, I'll try to make it easier to find.

I'm pretty confident the upgrade will occur on Feb 19th and 20th.

richNcincy · « **Reply #13 on:** February 12, 2013, 03:38:19 AM »

For those interested, this is the server configuration we're going to go with:

AMD Phenom II x6 1045t
6 Cores / 6 Threads
2.7Ghz / 3.2Ghz Turbo
8GB DDR3 RAM
128 GB SSD
Cent OS 64-Bit

Thank you Rich and Chris and everyone who runs UO.

DeanSheen · « **Reply #15 on:** February 12, 2013, 02:41:07 PM »

An Ignore function would be a nice incentive for premium membership.

Just a reminder, the server move will take place tomorrow and possibly into wed. Please plan accordingly!

richNcincy · « **Reply #18 on:** February 20, 2013, 01:47:05 AM »

Sorry the move took almost 24 hours!!!

CBC · « **Reply #19 on:** February 20, 2013, 02:28:59 AM »

Thanks Rich!

KJP · « **Reply #20 on:** February 20, 2013, 02:47:23 AM »

I was expecting a longer move. Glad it was only 24 hours -- I was going into withdrawal! Seriously, thanks for the swift move.

DeanSheen · « **Reply #21 on:** February 20, 2013, 02:57:20 AM »

Speed is good. Thanks for the upgrade!

So far everything is going well. I have one issue, which may be on my end. It appears that the graphics on the home page of the forum aren't loading for me, so the UO logo in the top right, the 'rss' logos, and the premium member stars are all showing up as red 'X's (interestingly, the regular yellow stars and the static red and blue stars do show up). Also, emoticons seem to be blocked as well.

Anyone else seeing this, or am I facing firewall issues at work?

That's because you're using the core theme. I'll try to fix the issues for you though.

richNcincy · « **Reply #27 on:** February 20, 2013, 07:51:52 AM »

Should be fixed.

Wow, that was fast. All systems go!

Thanks

If anyone wishes to connect to the old forum for whatever reason, it will be available for about another week. http://66.185.26.175/~urbanohi/forum2/index.php

Spell check no longer exist. In addition, Firefox spell check does not work.
