Title: Server swap around 9am 28th Feb 2014
Post by: Rick on Feb 27, 2014, 16:54:24
We're going to move the OAS websites to a different server starting at about 9am tomorrow (Friday Feb 28th).

Hopefully the transfer will only take an hour or so.

All the sites, yes. I'll put them into maintenance mode shortly.

You may find you need to clear DNS caches or wait a while for the new address to filter through.

Gallery is now offline. I'll put it back online when the move is complete.

Not that I've been told, but that's been the problem of late. Works fine most of the time, then takes a snails pace break...

Ok. Something a little odd going on. The old server was on 37.26.108.101 and the new one is at 46.28.50.165.

This message should have been posted from the new server. Theoretically.

Also can't log in to society main page, just get this -
QuoteSorry, no such page.

I guess there is still some tinkering going on.

That's a plugin update causing trouble...

See if the main site login works now.

Nope. Doesn't yet seem to be fixed... Ho hum...
