Macrumors homepage down?

[amacgenius]

nothing ever goes as smoothly as planned.

MacRumors.com's front page domain (as well as macbytes) moved servers early on Friday. Access was a bit spotty during the day, but everything should be fixed now.

Just a small server migration. The previous server was pretty old.

We are presently hosted by Fastservers.net

Before anyone asks again... Yes, we run on Linux/x86 machines. 3 servers at the moment. 1 Database server, 1 Forum server, 1 Web server

Are you planning your own forums, or have them already? On what topic?

Have them already, about 2 months ago I took over the old but not yet forgotten JulesTM forums, if anybody remembers those.

Sorry, I don't. Where are they?

Should the change-over be done by now? Cause I'm still showing blanks/timeouts for Macbytes and Macrumors... Not horrible, as we can still go to the forums...

not just you - we're looking into it. The server changeover should have been complete by now.

ya... this is why I cringe at moving to new servers... always introduces a few problems.

Seems to be fixed now. I think I have it configured correctly.

Thanks for the update. For some reason, Safari was the most affected on my machine, Netscape and OmniWeb slowing down, but not timing out like did Safari. All seem good, now.

Erm... bump?


Dunno if this thread is related too. I started that thread before I noticed that the front page is down now too.

MacBytes was down before, but seems to be up again now. I haven't had any forum troubles though.

MacBytes seems to be on a different (maybe still the old one) server from the MacRumors home page. The MR server does appear to be on the dead side.

[edit] well, almost correct, same server, different IP - seems to be a configuration problem[/edit]

Yeah it's all working for me too now.
