Server Migration early AM tomorrow

[Semper Fidelis]

At around 0400 EDT tomorrow, my host will be migrating the sites on my server. They performed a test the other day and it all looked good as far as the PB and other sites hosted.

There's probably not a lot of traffic at that hour but be prepared that a post or two might be lost if you're posting in the wee hours of the morning. I know that those of you on the opposite side of the planet will be wide awake so maybe this is more important news for you.

Thanks for all you do Rich.

Will we be required socially to distance during this time?

Only if the smell of your cologne becomes overpowering.

I read the post title as Severe Migraine... Let’s hope not.

Looks like we are back now with only the couple of threads posted earlier when we clearly had a problem.

It is working for me. Thanks for the update.

I oppose mass migration. I want to keep my servers American.

Well, so much for migration. I was trying to migrate to a different hosting manager to save about $15 per month (I thought it was going to be more of a savings). cPanel upped their licensing fees and I initially thought it was going to be more substantial. I had already scheduled the migration but was rethinking it even before it happened.

I could have sworn things looked OK on the test servers but as soon as things went live, we lost a ton of posts. Not sure if the database was corrupted but I spent a couple of hours trying to see if re-indexing the threads was the issue. I ended up giving up and just telling them to put the IP back on the original server so that only posts from 4 am to about 12:30 pm were lost.

Better that sitatuoin than losing about 1M posts over several years. Thsi board is a wealth of good Reformed information and it would have been too much to lose.

I'm sticking with cPanel.

It would be a shame to lose the archive of materials that is for sure.

I was up as usual and I hadn't read your post. Now I understand.

Thanks,

All that we likely lost was puns by our resident New Zealander.

Hey, I thought there was a worthless post by @ZackF and I said something stupid as well. Let's be a little more charitable please.

 

[Pergamum]

We didn't lose those chicken sandwich posts, did we?

There is more than one New Zealander on the board for the record
