Moving Day

LGF • Views: 47,689

This is the day when we’re moving to our new server! I’ve been working hard to get everything updated to work with the latest versions of all the software, and I think we’re as ready as possible. But there will probably be some issues remaining, because there’s a lot of code in this site; don’t panic, we’ll work through any bugs that we encounter, as needed.

I’ll be putting the site into maintenance mode while we get things together; the database needs to be dumped to a massive SQL file, then imported into the DB on the new server. The DNS settings need to be adjusted, and some other miscellaneous stuff taken care of. It may only take a few hours, or it may take the rest of the day; there’s no way to know at this point.

We’ll be starting the final approach in about 20 minutes, at 10 am Pacific time.

Oh, great. So LGF is going down this week, and then Overwatch goes down at the beginning of the next week. My two favorite places to hang out, with extended periods of unavailability. I hate this timeline.

/Seriously, good luck with the cutover

Good luck!

(EDIT: Everyone’s going to try and pile on and have the last word, and it’s going to crash the server, isn’t it?)

I am supposed to appear next month as an extra in an indie German film production to be shot in beautiful downtown Bacharach called Bite the Soup

Seems like Taste the Biscuit might be the ideal soundtrack for it

Oh, there’s a fun glitch. Not all usernames are showing up for me in Spy mode. Notably, mine and Charles’s are both absent.

Looks like it might be a display name thing. The people whose names I can see don’t have display names set.

Same issue for me too with user names in spy mode. Also, trying to up ding in spy mode kicks me out of spy and back to home page. Neither issue in normal comments mode.

Huh. Dinging in Spy mode has been working fine over here.

There are no issues. Only opportunities, or something like that.

Totally appreciate all the effort including the shiny HTTPS.

Also, quote isn’t working for me in spy mode either. I’ll just stop using spy mode for now.

Yeah, uploading images is hosed. I suspect another issue with an outdated PEAR extension.

I’m not complaining. This is already smoother than the last major rollout I did at work.

That means your cache may be out of date. Try closing the browser entirely and coming back.

So does firefox; it says “parts of the page are not secure (such as images)”

Yes, there are some issues with embedded tweets. For now, you can go to the top of the comment column and check ‘show embedded tweets’.
