ok, will try to move the site, but that wont happen before next weekend however, maybe friday if I get really lucky and get all my work done quickly

I couldnt reach the site anymore so now I restarted the whole server. Hopefully that will help.

Pure. terror. Must. Spam. More. Oh. The. Horror. The. Horror.

PP, perhaps you could make a thread at tweakers.net. The nerds over there are very helpful, usually.

@

good suggestion, will look into that

What was our problem: after resetting the server the site was still down, the server was up (other sites performed ok) but the crappy server wasnt reachable with remote desktop anymore. Rebooted with the CP a few times to no avail as well.

Finally the ISP fixed it with a manual reboot. Hurray!

To improve the performance I'll take the following steps:

1- upgrade PLesk CP
2- delete cdz.ORG account on sever and remake that account.
3- The whole forum will be copied to cdz.ORG
4- Delete cdz.com account on server and remake that account
5- Copy everything back

That should kill our unknown bug and provide us with stability for eternity, or at least till the next bug

I plan to do 1 to 3 tonight so bear with me untill then.

How long is that going to take you? I do not mean that in a negative way, but if it takes some time I have a suggestion. Perhaps it's an idea to make a status page that isn't linked to this specific server/site. Then that page could be used for progress report, plus it could link to the actual working CDZ forum once cdz.com is offline. Perhaps you could even add... a shoutbox.

Anyway, good luck with it

That would only give him more work. Let's just be patient.

As long as I have Remote desktop I can work on the server and copy all CDZ files in secs. When Remote desktop failes I need to download 5GB and then upload it again. Obviously that will take ages....

So everybody should keep their fingers x'ed that remote desktop keeps functioning
