HTMF moved to new server

HTMF might be down later this evening. 

I need to move the server off Citywest, as the website will soon have a new owner

If I do go ahead with the move tonight, it will be down for an hour or more, depending on how fast things go.

If I don’t get a chance to do it tonight, the downtime will happen on Saturday night.

New owner?

Yeah was wondering about that myself, you franchising the franchise there Mig, or gasp, are you, lea, leav,  leaving us… :astonished:

Will fill you in on the details once they’re finalized.  But basically the site is leaving Rupert, leaving my basement, and someone else will be the owner.  Other than that, it should be the same.

Avatars not working, time test, blah blah blah

Ok, some avatars working.  Not mine.

Anyway, time is set to Ontario time?  Gotta change it.

Ok working.  yay.

Talking to myself.  Permissions need some tweaking.  Will do it in the morning.  I’m sure some other stuff isn’t working.  Let me know.

Good to hear the move went smoothly, MiG!  :sunglasses:

A few hiccups. Still need to figure out the avatar thing.  Hopefully if I get some time today.

Ok, so HTMF is on a new server, no longer on Citywest. 

If you’re seeing this message then everything should be working. 

Please let me know if there’s anything strange going on.

I’ll have more details about the new ownership of the site soon. 

Thanks Mig

Iit’s been almost 24 hours since I updated the DNS for the site to point at the new address.  The DNS record has a TTL of 60 minutes.  Yet I just checked the old address (my basement), and people are still posting on there.  Weird.

Oh well, I guess once their computers get the new address, they’ll be wondering where their posts went.

So someone didn’t put a redirect in and lost the post where I explained the True Meaning Of Life The Universe and How To Get Rich Quick too, eh?

Hey Herbie what’s the speed like from there?  Is HTMF faster or slower?

It’s much faster. I’m at home on Navigata, increased ping time (70-75ms & way more hops) but loads way quicker.

Is there any reason why I can’t load HTMF on my laptop but I can with my cell phone? 

Do you get an error message when you try on your laptop?  If so, what is it?

You might just need to empty or flush your DNS cache.  Try rebooting your laptop.  Your computer may have the old IP address saved in its memory.

Also, if anybody has an avatar that doesn’t load properly, please try re-uploading it.  Some stuff screwed up in the permissions.  I’m trying to figure it out, but until I do, it’s just as easy to just use a new avatar.
