worried about move
« on: May 16, 2009, 03:35:18 am »
got this email...

Server Migration!
Moving all sites over the next week to a new server provider. There will be own time as this occurs. Large amounts of data will need to be copied over.

Also if you have custom domains will need to repointed to the new ip address of servers. Will post the information once the sites are moved over.


do this mean the site will go down? and if i dont change the ip thing then thatll go down too as i dont know how :(

This just means there will be some downtime. It's nothing to worry about I'm sure it won't be long.

And the IP thing is only if you have a custom domain. (.com, .net, etc.)

If you have a custom domain you'll need to go to your domain host and change the IP that you placed in the HOST IP section for each nameserver.

THe site was working fine, I had posted 4 new postes then I went to post the 5th one and seen this "No input file specified. "
It went to a white screen. I knew the moving was to be done  soon but now I have no nothing as in pictures, etc. Is that the move of what we are to expect?
Also... what would cause the last 4 posts to disappear?

Approx. how many days will this move last for smfforfree users? I noticed you had listed all the other names you run on the server being transferred today I assume.

It's nothing to worry about, just give SMF some time to do his job. It will most likely all be done today.

Weird things are going on on my forum too, stylesheet isnt working right, but I know why though.

Forum looks fine to me.

If your stylesheet is hosted with StyleYourForum it will not show up because SYF was transfered last night and has not came back up yet.

Most likely just waiting for the dns cache on your computer to expire if visted the site you can try doing a a command from the command prompt ipconfig /flushdns

MySMF move is in progress. You will need to update the nameservers of the your domain to point to 76.73.98.11 depending on where you registered the domain. If it is on godaddy it is pretty simple to update.
