Besttechie Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 I know we just moved to a new server - however, I was able to negotiate with another host for a better server for a pretty great price. The new server is US based and the companies offices are actually on Long Island so I can always drive over there and bop them on the head if need be. Server Specs (of new server)>>P4 2.4GHz>>1GB RAM>>120GB HD>>1000GB Transfer TIER1 Bandwidth>>11 IPs inlcuded>>24x7x365 Live Person Support>>Fully Managed Server>>100mbps connectionAnyway, I will probably move BT sometime in the near future. The move shouldn't be more than I'd say 20 mins to an hour assuming everything goes as planned. It could even possibly be less. I've already configured the new server, uploaded most of the stuff that needs to be there except for the databases and anything I've changed recently so that really cuts back on time. I have everything pretty much down to a science the way I want to get it done so hopefully everything will work out the first time. Things will take place in the order they are written.Here's how it's going to happen:BestTechie.net Todo List------------------------------------------------Check new server config files mainly lighttpd and backup script------------------------------------------------Create besttechie.net in VirtualMin - make sure mail, dns, ftp were setup properlyAlso, create thebesttechie.com in VirtualMin for the Name Servers------------------------------------------------Download /forums and upload to new server------------------------------------------------Put forums offline while downloading database and transfering everything------------------------------------------------Download back ups of all MySQL databases (.sql file)1. forums2. marcin3. wp14. wpmu------------------------------------------------Delete databases on new server and then upload the latest database and load it in MySQLmysql -uuser -ppass db < database.sql------------------------------------------------Change the IP's of thebesttechie.com Name Servers------------------------------------------------Future: Upgrade forums to IPB 2.3.0------------------------------------------------If you have any questions or comments please post there here.Thanks,B Link to post Share on other sites

Besttechie Posted June 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Alright, I think I'm going to do the move tomorrow (Wednesday the 20th) or if I can't get to it tomorrow then I'll do it Thursday the 21st. The site will probably go down around 10:30 - 11:00 AM East Coast time and will hopefully be back by 11:30AM - 1PM.B Link to post Share on other sites
