Subject: Bought a new server - going to move amiright
Written By: ChuckyG on 11/16/05 at 8:18 am
In the next day or two, I'm going to disable all the scripts on the site, and put up a huge message on the top of the site letting people know that the site is being moved to a new server. The server that inthe80s and amiright is running on, keeps crashing, and is getting pretty old at this point. Hopefully it won't take too long to set it up and move it, but it will take a couple days for the domain name servers to reflect the address of the new server.

Would that have anything to do with me getting a message that says: "Couldn't find an album image for the URL specified" when I try to paste in an amazon URL when I'm on the submission page for album cover parodies?

no. It probably means there is no medium sized image available for that album cover

ok, I said next day or two, but it turned out the new hosting provider didn't have the equipment ready, I needed more time to set things up, etc. etc.
anyways. I think Dec 17-18 will be the weekend I move the site. I'm going to do a practice run using a spare domain name and see what's involved in the next day or two. It will probably take a week after stuff is moved to get everything working again.

Will this Board be offline for any length of time when the change over happens? If so I will arrange a holiday so that I do not noticed.

It seems that www.inthe00s.com will be untouched.

correct. inthe00s is on a server with a couple smaller sites. The other decade sites, amiright and worcestermass all share the same server, which is getting old and unreliable. So I bought a third server, and I'm going to begin by moving the biggest most difficult one first.

Yeah, those server things don't last a very long time. (Same with other computer components.) We would like to get a new home computer; the one we have now is five years old, has Windows 98 and MS Office 97 software on it... and on top of everything else, it likes to run slow at times.

Just now it seemed that the server was busy moments ago.

Whenever it takes forever to connect to a link on this site. I click on a link, but the progress bar takes forever to fill in.
I had my first experience with this in May 2004.
