digitalmars.D.announce - dsource.org Planned Outage Friday, March 2
- Brad Anderson (19/19) Mar 01 2007 All,
- Frits van Bommel (6/24) Mar 01 2007 If this works as advertised ("fast & tons of bandwidth"), I'd say it
- Kyle Furlong (4/32) Mar 01 2007 Good news! Slicehost.com is the best, make sure to take advantage of the...
- Jarrett Billingsley (4/27) Mar 01 2007 Yaaaay!
- Justin C Calvarese (5/33) Mar 02 2007 Congrats, Brad! It looks like the transfer was successful. And
- Brad Anderson (3/45) Mar 02 2007 some rough edges to finish off, but overall it went okay.
All, dsource.org will have a planned outage tomorrow, Friday, March 2. * The site will be down most of the day, starting at 9am EST (GMT -5) * Duration is unknown, but I would expect 8 hours. Hopefully it will be shorter. * We are transferring to slicehost.com hosting, so the result should be stupid-fast everything and tons of bandwidth. Also, the db locking problem has been back the past week or two and I hope this move takes care of whatever software package on the current server is causing it. * Unfortunately, this process is bound by the upstream bandwidth from the current server to the slice. * To prevent write activities while doing the transfer (wiki, svn, forums, tickets, etc.), the entire site needs to be down. I am going to attempt some configuration things, so the site possibly will be up read-only, but if that doesn't work, the entire thing will be inaccessible. * I will be on Freenode IRC in #d as *boorad* for the /occasional/ status check. * I apologize if this message sounds like I'm treating you all as crack-addict fiends who can't bear to be 'without' for any period of time. Cheers, BA

The slowness is the thing that annoys me most when browsing DSource.* Unfortunately, this process is bound by the upstream bandwidth from the current server to the slice. * To prevent write activities while doing the transfer (wiki, svn, forums, tickets, etc.), the entire site needs to be down. I am going to attempt some configuration things, so the site possibly will be up read-only, but if that doesn't work, the entire thing will be inaccessible.Very much understandable. Good luck.* I apologize if this message sounds like I'm treating you all as crack-addict fiends who can't bear to be 'without' for any period of time.We'll survive :P.
