The new boxes are almost ready.
There are a few things left to install, but most sites should now be operational.
My plan is to make the cutover later this week (probably Wednesday night). In the meantime, please test out your site and help me identify any remaining issues.
To see your site on the new server, append new-xx.sabren.com to your domain, where xx is the short name of the server:
| if you're on... | ... then add this: |
|---|---|
| mercury | .new-hg.sabren.com |
| scandium | .new-sc.sabren.com |
| titanium | .new-ti.sabren.com |
| vanadium | .new-v.sabren.com |
| manganese | .new-mn.sabren.com |
So, for example, if your site is:
http://tempytantrum.com/ (on mercury)
You should go to:
http://tempytantrum.com.new-hg.sabren.com/
I've tested a variety of the major software packages (wordpress, drupal, MT, etc) and they all appear to be working, but of course I haven't tested every possible configuration or plugin, so please take this opportunity to check your site out before the switch.
Known issues:
- The files on the new boxes are a day or two old. I'll refresh them tonight or tomorrow, and again right before the switch.
- The new servers will probably not send not send mail correctly to your cornerhost accounts (they'll deliver locally).
- You cannot log into the server with ftp/ssh yet (to keep people from making changes that will get overwritten with the next rsync). If you need to log in, please contact me and I'll give you a temporary password.
- python2.2 is no longer available. If your site uses python2.2, please try switching to /usr/bin/python2.5 or /usr/bin/python2.4 (test this on the *current* box)
- FastCGI sites are not working yet.
Feel free to contact me directly with any issues you turn up, or post on innercircle to avoid duplicate bug reports.
