SawmillCreek Moving Wed, Oct. 26

[Aaron Koehl]

SawmillCreek is Moving Wednesday, October 26th

Note: PLEASE LOGOUT!!

I am making preparations to move the SawmillCreek server to a new
physical location on Wednesday, Oct. 26.

While I will minimize the amount of downtime as much as possible, I may
need to take the forum down temporarily to test. This will be in the evening hours.

This particular move will require changing SawmillCreek's IP address, so
there is a high chance that it may cause some issues with cookies and
favorites/bookmarks. I highly suggest logging out with the LogOut link (at the top right)
sometime before Wednesday evening, in order to prevent any problems that might arise.

I will keep everyone posted, and as usual, I'll be ready to answer any questions about
logging in after the move. (webmaster@sawmillcreek.org)

Thanks!

Aaron,

As someone who spent almost 2 decades in technical support, I know that you've got a busy evening ahead of you tomorrow. Hope everything goes well!

Keith & Aaron,

Remember, no pictures, it didn't happen :)

Just like I was not at your shop a few weeks back:rolleyes:

Good luck.

DNS don't fail me now.

Amen. I'll sacrifice a chicken for you. ;)

I've found it is more effective to sacrifice a help desk person on larger migrations and moves. It results in fewer problem tickets for some reason. :D

Good luck guys!

Throw in a few PHBs for safe measure, and it should all go well.

And if there are no pics to prove that it did happen, then it must not happen. and if it doesn't happen, we'll never know because the old server is absitively going away. And that darn aaron wants us to log off and ......

aaron - you gotta post pics. If you don't the pic police will be exposed

[Ken Fitzgerald]

I'll roll the chicken bones.....good luck Folks!

I looked at the time you posted this. Your time reads 9:56 am. WOW the new internet connection has a time machine device on it.:confused:

[Keith Outten]

I will make the domain changes early tomorrow morninig. The root routers are normally updated at noon and at 6pm each day. When the updates take effect the SMC domain will cease to work untill the server is moved to my shop office and Aaron has the chance to make the necessary changes to the server config files.

This is also going to affect our email. Lets hope it goes without a hitch, otherwise it could be two days before we pop back up in your browser windows. We will be relying on Cox Cable for DNS support. In the past we ran our own primary and secondary DNS so I don't know what to expect from another company. In ten years HRO is the only Internet service I have ever used and we were self sufficient and were able to respond to our customers almost instantly. I doubt Cox will be as easy to deal with, I cannot even obtain a direct phone number for their Network Operations Center.

Keep your fingers crossed :)
