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.

[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.

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

Thank you, Brandon!

With CD down... I wasn't sure what to do with my free time. I almost had a reality check and thought I might go outside.
