Absolut Transfer

[Corey]

Absolut is the first server to be transferred. We will be starting the transfer in 3 hours from now.

For those of you wondering, the new server IP is '216.245.208.154'. This is to be used if you have custom DNS only.

Horray!

Thanks for letting me know. How long is this transfer expected to be going for? Since I have no school tomorrow, I'd like to be able to close my forums with a fresh database copy on my C drive before the transfer begins and for when it ends (should the transfer'ed copy have an old database file in it).

It all depends, there are a lot of factors in doing this (server loads, internet congestion, size per account, etc).

Well yeah I know that. Is this going through a server-to-server transfer or is it going from server-to Corey's-to server? Just wondering. I'd assume server-to-server since datacenters have "phat" pipes :biggrin:

:ughdance: What was that?

 

[alv4]

He ask..
why are all happy for the transfer of the server....???

Well because, it's probably going to be a server that's faster and has more disk space, and plus the fact that it's shiny makes us want to break it like we did to the rest of the servers. I think Brandon and Corey have already broken it already a little bit

 

[Corey]

This transfer has started. We will not have an ETA until a bunch get transferred, so don't ask .

This server is setup much better and hopefully more secure

hi is it possible to access new account like
http://216.245.208.154/~user , in case its allowed i can confirm that my account moved point my domains to new ip

 

[compwhizii]

I'm pretty sure it's not possible, so you won't know until the transfer is done.

 

[Corey]

It should work yes;

I believe Absolut will be finished copying by the of tonight.

Apparently my account has been copied to the new Absolut. I've moved my DNS settings over to the new server already if that's not an issue. I noticed that the Shell access is back in cPanel. Will this be staying there or will Shell be getting taken away again?

Your account doesn't actually have shell access, that's a default feature in cPanel. I'll let Corey know he needs to disable the option from within the feature list.

Thanks for letting us know.

You're Welcome :happysad:

To all of the people wondering, your site will only be down for a short period of time, when your account is being transferred. Before/After that, your account will be accessible.
A way to tell is to look at the Shared IP Address in the left sidebar in cPanel.
If it hasn't been transferred, it will show '74.86.133.24'. If it has been transferred, it will show '216.245.208.154'.

 

[vinayan]

but its not working for me both old server and new server
http://74.86.133.24/~ikid
http://216.245.208.154/~ikid
I think you need to change Apache settings by default its disabled on apache
