Well that wasn't fun ...

[Brandon Martus]

... but it worked. We're on the new server, and everything seems to be working. I let it go at 4:11am and woke up at 7:45am to a familiar website.

Be gentlewith it, we're functioning on the default php/apache/mysql configuration. The hardware boost alone should help us, but I will need to tweak some settings to make it as fast as it should be. The extra features will be turned on gradually, once I know the new server can handle the load.

Let me know (via PM/IM/e-mail) if you find any problems whatsoever. Everything should be exactly as it was before .. just about 3x faster.

Thanks and good luck this season.

Your tired webmaster,
Brandon

PS: new server, new 'most online'. i've reset that old (incorrect) 517 value.

Thanks "Slash"!

Brandon,

You're doing great. Be sure to treat yourself today, you deserve it!

[Greg Needel]

thanks bud for all your hard work

[petek]

Thank you, Brandon! Like Greg, you've rescued me from what might otherwise have been a productive day! At least I now know that I can survive a build-season evening without CD...

Seriously, though, count me among the multitudes who really appreciate everything you do for us.

Pete

Thanks Brandon.

I need to know the secret... How could you sleep?????

[KathieK]

Thanks, Brandon! Cornflakes are just not the same for breakfast without a side dish of ChiefDelphi!

[Rick TYler]

Thank you, CD Team. We appreciate it. It certainly seems faster this morning, but I suppose the performance test will start at about 3pm EST, right?

[Jon K.]

Thank You Brandon!

[Matt Adams]

Brandon, your efforts deserves nothing less than an Original Matt Adams Haiku - my sincerest form of gratitude.

The Hero

Brandon shrugs off sleep
for a much greater calling
of saving CD.

Thank you, Brandon!

Thank you

I've installed Alternative PHP Cache (APC), tweaked the mySQL settings, and allowed spiders back on. Let me know if anything's being weird.

The only problem I've seen so far is that on the old server, it was easier to keep up with the threads.
