Possible Outages - Updated 14th January 2004

We have got the server back from Senna, I am going to go and check it out and reinstall it with the correct OS.

There maybe outages over the next week whilst things are moved over, I will update this thread with information of planned outages ahead of time.

Thankyou for your understanding, we need to get the server back home and off of the current archaic hardware.

For those who are interested

if you are reading this welcome back to the UK, The 300zx.co.uk site has been residing on borrowed hardware for the past 7 months in the United States. This is due to a hardware failure of the memory on our dedicated hardware in the UK. The server was then held for 7 months being repaired by the original donator of the memory and motherboard (all other parts provided by donations of cash from the subscribed members) . After a bit of persuasion we managed to arrange a collection time for the server.

Currently I have moved the server onto hardware in the UK, I am waiting until I have enough time to go and check the server over and reinstall it. This usually would be done by now but the server was not packaged correctly by the repairer and I need to give it a full going over which takes time.

The next stage of the move will be to get 300zx.co.uk onto her final resting place of the original dedicated hardware, hopefully within 7-10 days, when this takes place there will be a downtime of around 1 hours whilst the database is copied over.

Well as suspected the hardware was screwed in transit, the operating system couldnt detect any PCI slots on the motherboard, we are going to upgrade the server however to a p4 2.6ghz, an extra 1/2gig of ram and a new HDD for backups of the forum. To sum up the packaging of the server I can only describe it thusly - stick an egg in a coke can and ship it across country... disgusting.
