new server updates and what to expect
General Talk
just about 100 gigs left to transfer!
unfortunately do not have all the ip info yet till tomorrow so cant set up ips for accounts or set up ssl's and such yet
and will need to do testing but i think we can have the new server live by wed or thur
we should be ready for testing by this time tomorow

got most of the server issues worked out dreadlockssite still has over 700 gigs to transfer
still have a few minor details to work out but got all the big ones fixed at least
I'm ready for a vacation haha
15 minutes ago i was so close to going down to the server farm and wiping the server clean and starting over fresh
but luckily after reading over 200 pages all about 1 issue i managed to combine 5 or 6 fixes into 1 that actually worked
I'm glad i'm reasonably smart
cause this is a huge pain in the ass (actually a pain in the neck, it was so stressful my necks all out of whack and killing me..will trade a 20 minute hug for a 20 minute massage!)

got the server 3/4 configured (i think) files are transferring as i write this they will take probably 2 days or so to transfer
Monday i hope to have sites set up for testing at least
i literally had 200+ browser tabs open looking up things trying to figure it all out (ive never done a full server setup like this before)
made a few mistakes along the way haha (wasted all of last night transferring files to the wrong place)
good news is got much more done in 24 hours then i expected to get done in a week..which is good cause we barely have a week to get it ready

ps dropping the server off at the server farm today, but then headed to the woods to go camping and have a rainbow council for a possible local gathering so wont get to work on it till this weekend i will have a good 24 hours configuring to do then start migrating sites ..dreadlockssite alone can take a couple to few days to transfer due to its huge size
so don't expect testing to begin till early next week which will give us barely enough time to have it all ready
it will be a race against the clock that's why i was hoping to have just 1 more server techy type person on hand in case i needed it

everything should work things that may need testing will be the music and video conversion, make sure photos upload properly etc
oh when testing when you login you will get a "server untrusted' type warning because the ssl security won't be installed yet so just click add exception
the ssl will be added before switching the server over to live
once i have the site moved over i will post the ip, you can then change your host file (i'll include instructions) so you will access the site on the new server before dns is changed over
are you on windows, Linux or (eek) mac
if windows (wich i assume) just need the version cause newer versions 7 and above editing the host file takes a couple extra steps for security
Hi

was it the liquid or bar you were using? for me the bars, i don't have to separate often at all. i use the liquid only once and i have to separate every dread and i get a dozen new baby dreads overnight practically
Hi

well i'll be sticking it on the rack at the server farm tomorrow! but then will be at a council for a possible local rainbow gathering
then once I'm back i'll have a lot to do setting it up configuring and installing stuff and then migrating the sites
dreadlockssites huge so will take awhile to migrate
after that we can start testing to make sure its all working just right
then switch it over
i was a bit surprised how much it sounds like a jet engine when booting up lol
do you know much about server management or are you just wanting to help testing
i do have 2 experts on server management but they both have limited time to work on it if i get stuck
and this will be 1st time managing a server strictly by command line without web host manager and cpanel
