10 January 2014 - New server heads-up

Current server is struggling on RAM. Current term expires end of Jan.

I have commissioned a new one. Cloud-based VM it has 2Gb RAM and a 100Mb/s pipe (3 times and 10 times current spec respectively. I have successfully transferred all progs and data and am configuring and testing using just its IP address for now. Inevitable irritating glitches remaining - mainly php and apache config issues. It is proving a good test of re-constituting the site from the backups. I expect to be ready to go with it inside a week. I'll give 24 hours notice of the change because I will need to refresh from latest backups to avoid losing anything and will therefore have to disable any editing for at least an hour - probably have to take the site right off line in fact. Watch out for the main page banner + content on this main page. I'll be as precise as possible about timing --Peter P (talk) 21:38, 10 January 2014 (GMT)

Current server contract goes 'til end of February so no pressure to get the new one up and running after all. However, it's going well so still likely to be within a week or so. Major lessons learned on site-reconstitution and required backups, so changes are needed there too. --Peter P (talk) 07:28, 12 January 2014 (GMT)
