Phase 1 complete...

    Hey all,

    OK, the first bit is done :) We've moved our existing servers out of Hosting365 and into Digiweb and rejigged our network a bit.

    Phase 2 is bringing online the new hardware that we've bought, hopefully future proofing (for the next couple of months at least) boards.ie and allowing us to bring back some of the sorely missed features, such as searching and the archive. We'll commence this over the next week or so.

    I'd like to once again take the chance to thank Hosting365 (thanks guys!) for the excellent support and help they've given us over the years. I'd also like to thank Digiweb (yay!) for allowing us to move to their new datacentre - this move will help us complete our expansion and hopefully keep boards.ie a nippy website!

    Unfortunately, with every move and upgrade, there's going to be some hiccups - while things ought to be generally faster, we're bound to forget some items, or maybe screw up some other ones. If you spot anything broken, please let us know by posting here - we'll get on it ASAP.

    Lastly, for the next day or so, there are going to be some DNS issues - it takes time for the internet to realise where 'www.boards.ie' now is - don't sweat these. They will fix themselves over the weekend.

    Have a good weekend all, and thanks for being patient. The new improved boards.ie starts here!

    Feedback won't know itself soon enough without the 'Can we have search back?' threads. :) Fair play to all involved.

    Congrats on a smooth move.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,279 ✭✭✭regi


    More feedback - we're finding a very strange bug with one of the webservers. One is acting just fine and speeding along - the other is going ape**** for some reason :)

    We'll sort it out shortly, no doubt.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,698 ✭✭✭InFront


    WWW not working for me, but cake and pie are fine - well they are if this posts correctly... yep theyre working!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 223 ✭✭telemachus


    The menu links at the top were randomly taking me to the (not yet up) adverts.ie but that seems to have cleared up just now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 343 ✭✭kaizersoze123


    fair play lads, well done.

    For everyone's reference:

    www.boards.ie is working fine. If you're having a problem, it's your problem, not boards.ie's :)

    Don't lose too much of your weekend regi. Have a beer or two!

    This is exactly what Regi said would happen in first post.

    SOME PEOPLE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH www.boards.ie POINTING TO THE WRONG IP. THIS IS PART OF HOW DNS WORKS. NOBODY HERE CAN RE-WRITE THE INTERNET'S DNS SYSTEM AND THEN PROPOGATE THE CHANGES THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE INTERNET BEFORE THE WEEKEND IS OVER. So we'll just have to live with it I'm afraid.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 7,484 ✭✭✭Red Alert


    Is the default vhost the main boards site?

    If so can try: http://89.234.66.107/ - you'll probably need to login again.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,628 ✭✭✭Asok


    I had reduced the TTL's on alot of the records to 1800 before the move over so its possible that its the local DNS cache on your pc.
    If it is a windows based pc
    Click start, Click Run, Type, "ipconfig /flushdns" without the "s


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,115 ✭✭✭Pacifico


    Excellent :)

    Its flying along for me :D

    Anyone else suffering fast-loading pages which then hang
    "Waiting (#insert number here) for connection to www.boards.ie", its images/icons avatars etc that won't appear.
