    Migrating GN to another server

    I bought a much faster server than the current server. I am going to be migrating GN to the new server. I'll need to disable GN on this site (make it read-only) then copy everything/configure and then fire it up on the new server. If its running fine, I'll enable read/write.

    I'll let you guys know before I start. Should be this week sometime.

    It should be. I migrated my other webserver to it which also included the database. Worked well. I'm off the next two days so I'm going to give it a shot tomorrow or Wednesday.

    This will be a time to go clean the guns, make sure the sights are lined up, walk out and have that big yellow circle outside bathe you in light.. LMAO

    Mother F'er...

    Close.. back to the same server... database error. Could be my database config. We're close. I'll take another shot at it later.

    Looks good! Went to a photo intense thread and it loaded very nicely. I figured something was up when a few minutes ago I got that dreaded 404 not found. In this case, thanks for the warning, and thanks for what looks like a great result.

    Sorry folks..

    Had to power down. Installed 2 hard drives so I can move the VM to the new drives. I'll have to do this once more to do the actual move. I'll setup the hard drives now, then bring it down again. This time it may take longer as I have about 60gb to transfer over.

    Ok.. VM transferred to new disks.

    Dont need to do anything else for a while. Test.. report back with responsiveness etc..
