MySQL 5.0 Now Running

Thanks for your patience, everyone.

We are now running MySQL 5.0 on the new hardware.

I've been spot checking customer sites at random and everything seems to be working. Please let me know if you run into any trouble.

One minor issue for people who access the database from outside of the cornerhost network: I have not updated the DNS entry for db.sabren.com, and don't intend to do so until I have apache working on the new boxes. If you need direct remote access to the server for some reason, you can use the IP address directly: 174.133.41.82

MySQL down for upgrade (finally)

MySQL is down for the upgrade (finally). It will be back up in a few hours.

Upgrade Still Going On

8:30 am and the transfer of database files is still going. I worked out the issue with rsync, and now that it's copying all 600+ databases it's taking much, much longer. It ran all night and will probably continue for another couple hours. So... I'll wait until tonight to take it down for the final switchover.

Upgrade Postponed to Sunday Night

Well, somehow I managed to screw up a simple rsync.

Once all 600+ databases finished copying, there were only 108 databases on the new box.

The old server is up and running again. I'm rerunning the rsync and will attempt the switchover again tomorrow night.
