Scheduled Downtime: Sunday Morning

[pixelpixi]

Sunday morning I'll be moving the site to a new server that's hopefully faster and more reliable. I'm expecting no more than a couple hours downtime for this.

We hope this will allow email notifications to get sent out more quickly, make pages load faster, and stop the "internal server error" messages that have been plaguing us all.

Thanks for all the hard work Pix!

Great job I also noticed that about Drupal and the forum software. That is way i ended up going phpbb and drupal front site.

The problems have been due to the server we're on, not drupal.

We're on the new server! Let me know if you run into problems.

P.S. I also updated our drupal modules while we were offline. I think a couple things changed as a result of that, such as borders appearing around avatars and the "upcoming events" list being broken. I'll look into those.

Sweet thanks Erin!

Love it! It's SOOOOOOOOOOO much faster! Thanks Erin!!!

 

[pixelpixi]

You're welcome! So far no errors with the cron jobs either, so email notifications should get sent out within 5 minutes now.

Just curious, who's hosting the site now? Did we go back to godaddy with more RAM?

 

[pixelpixi]

We're using a managed VPS from wiredtree.com.

Tastes great, less filling!

Thanks Erin. You're the best
