moving
The new server has held up nicely for the past couple of months. The network it's on has been down twice briefly in the early stages but has been hardy since. I've started moving the big blogs over. They'll drop off of the Top 10 chart shown on this page as they get moved then everything will show up again on the charts once everything has moved over. If you find that you're getting "Access Denied" messages when you shouldn't be it may be because you've been moved. Just logout and back in again to clear everything up.
VROOM
I'm configuring the new server now. I'm aiming to move the sites over this weekend sometime.
new server
I've just purchased a DELL Poweredge 2650 Dual 3.06 Ghz 2G RAM 3 x 73HD to replace the web server that's currently running bloghorn now. Within the next couple of weeks the new server will have arrived, been configured, and I'll have transferred all of the websites over. I'll leave a note here before taking down the current server to do the transfer. The difference in speed should be noticeable once we're on the new server.
I'm excited. It's like waiting for Christmas morn to arrive.
server hardware
Early this morning the CPU fan and IO fan on the server gave out and the server went down. I've replaced the IO fan and cleaned out the CPU fan. The server is back up but still complaining somewhat. I'm ordering a new CPU fan and am currently shopping for a brand new server to host on. Thanks for your patience. We are and will continue to be ad-free and a volunteer effort.
