Just purchased replacement server. Not 100% of what I was looking for but being in a rush and wanting to go with a provider I trust limited the options a bit.
Stats will be as follows.
Core2Duo E6750
2048MB RAM
160GB SATA Drive

Nice one, Seems the old one has been playing up again today?
I rebooted it before manually just to be safe. Was only down for a few minutes for the reboot.










seems to have been giving database errors too on and off? Only in the last 3 hours though.
Data base errors occur when the server is rebooted, the site comes online and or has not gone off line as each process is shut down. SQL does not come online as soon as the server is up, etc.
Thats great news to hear, congratulations and all the best with the new server.
Cool man! Is it from layeredtech only?
Congratulations Grim
May I know from which company did you buy the new server? just asking.










I do know how how servers and SQL work Grim. I was just saying that I have seen the same error several times in the last few hours and I'm sure you have not been rebooting continuously all afternoon :3072: It was not a dig or saying that the forum has a problem. I was literally saying its good that you found a new server as there have been problems this afternoon and of late. Obviously this is a sensitive subject so ill leave alone.
It was not 'sensitive' was just explaining what has happened. I get reports of sql errors and have been watching it, I do not see any form of long standing sql errors.
1 here and there pops up on VB from time to time which is common place from every VB install I have ever seen.










Sounds great Grim, you take really good care of WTF!![]()







No more slow server!...hopefully










Same here, it's always been fast for me.










Congrats man!










WTF has always been blazing fast for me aside from the occasional name server error which I'm guessing was an issue with the old server no problems here.
More than likely you were hitting those times of outages.
No eta on when we will be switched. New server needs to be put online. I then need to get server ready, firewall, apache setup, tweaked, etc. Name servers propagation, files transferred, etc. Hopefully by Tuesday.










It is good to hear that you are top of things before there are major problems. I love how fast WTF loads. There have been a few times since I have been here where the forum was down but I have seen you and Colleen working to fix things.
Hopefully this one will deliver long term service for you.![]()
I believe the new server is online! Now to get it ready for WTF!
GRIM added 28 Minutes and 16 Seconds later...
Apache/PHP being built, firewall basic install done, name servers setup. It's going pretty smooth thus far
GRIM added 30 Minutes and 33 Seconds later...
Server is coming along fine, have a lot of the setup complete already. Firewall is 98% of the way there, apache/php, etc all done.
Basically tweaking some settings throughout the day and testing before being ready to go live. We just might be ready tonight already!

Ok that was hell but WTF is moved to the new server.
About every imaginable problem that could occur when moving such a big site occurred, including one of my providers changing the root password on me on both my servers!
