Welcome to the new server - June 10th 2009

[ewdi]

Well, here we are, if you are seeing this message then you are on our new machine powered with 16 Core of Intel Xeons with 12GB of RAM.

We will be updating the site with new features this weekend including video hosting tools, problem resolved tag for support forum, and more.

awesome im on the new server looking forward to the updates

[DrVeronica]

video hosting tools? neato!

[crazythunder]

i'm just drooling over 16 cores. here i have a measly 4.

[constellanation]

That all sounds mighty fancy!

Why don't you post commands on how to flush DNS on your computer to see if that helps people come here faster?

If you're on Windows, open up command prompt (run > cmd) then type this in:
ipconfig /flushdns

If you're on Vista, you'll need to run command prompt as an administrator.

Clear browser cache then restart the browser and you should see it propagated.

Typically will work unless your ISP cached it, then you'd have to wait for them to update.

On another note, is this the only site on the server? Does it really require 12 GB to run? Why don't you cluster servers instead? Seems like it'll probably be more efficient to me.

i dont know what u just said but his status says hes clustering servers lol

Clustering servers means you have at least 2 servers, each performing a different function. For example, one server hosts the database, while the other hosts the sites that call on the database. His post mentions one server (instead of multiple servers)...

But jeez, with 12 GB RAM and 16 cores, you probably won't need to cluster :D

[djunio]

Sounds like some ***t, wish I was setting em up lol.

[konzern]

well maybe they need that much cuz all the tabs ontop are different forums IONNO

[thunderstruck]

That would be a great machine to run Photoshop on.

Ugh!!!

Thanks for posting the command for the members. We have 4 machine + 1 load balancer as cluster, totaled of 64-core. The reason we are gearing up our server is to prepare for new additions of the site feature (video hosting and project management for devs)

The new server specs fall down and tremble at the feet of my mighty i486DX2. Fear me!

When will the video hosting feature etc go live?

Thanks!!

[ewdi]

By this weekend hopefully

[JohnnyLicious]

great job on this!!

[xdavidn88]

Great job on the new server fix.

It supposedly started last night 6PM my time... I couldn't get on even at 230AM (8.5 hours!) but here I am.

Please use anything but Trac (http://trac.edgewall.org/).

[draxter]

Congrats! Those server specs look yummy!

[ewdi]

oh yeah, trac is dreadful to use, but quite powerful. It takes time to get used to it :)

Nice! I look forward to the video hosting :D

I posted the commands hoping you would have posted them on the old server. No use for the people who could see my post here since that means they are already propagated to this server :P
