WEB TRANSFER IS 99% COMPLETE! *sigh*
Posted: August 22nd, 2007, 12:09 am
After a full 48 hours of complete downtime ... the TsuGaming website (and domain resources) are now back online.
For those who are curious what happened, here's the story:
I was getting rid of the old webserver I had because it was being retarded and I wasn't happy with my old host/network. So I figured I'd host it on our new gameserver box (as it has more than enough power) instead.
Without thinking, I updated the DNS to point to the new box. Problem is, I still had to install all of the services onto the new box and get them working properly before I could load any sort of page. And fate being cruel, nothing wanted to work. I seemed to be having a problem with just about everything. And DNS propogation can be quite slow ...... so as the entire internet is slowly changing its focus from the old box to the new one ... the new one is screwed up and can't do crap ... thus making the whole thing pointless.
Anyway, I've fixed the new box and managed to completely import the tsugaming.com website and database. So as far as you're all concerned, everything is back to normal. You may even notice that the site is extremely fast now. This is because (1) The new webserver is extremely powerful (2) The network we're on is about 50ms faster in ping than the old one. Plus all resources are local (rather than spread out over network clusters).
Anyway, after getting very little sleep in the last three days ... I'm EXTREMELY pleased to see http://www.tsugaming.com back up and running and restored 100%.
Other things such as teamspeak ... or subsites like tsufiles ... will be back online within the next 24-hours.
If you are a TsuServers/AOhost/TsuGaming customer of some sort -- I'm EXTREMELY sorry for any inconveniences this outage may have caused you or your users. As you can see, this site was down too which was disappointing as hell for many people.
*sigh*
Hopefully no more problems.
Enjoy the new webserver.
