Title: New Server
Post by: Rebel on February 14, 2008, 02:34:00 PM
New server is on its way:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150215551635

I will also be purchasing more memory and additional hard drives. As for the OS, it won't be a problem as we've opted to install a Ubuntu LAMP(Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) server OS, which is free.

I will, more than likely, be hosting it at Colopronto:

http://www.colopronto.com/1u.php

Our speed and load issues are caused by the number of additional sites on the shared server. The new server will have only two, Conservative Cave and USMILNET.

Is there a recommended donation amount?

Just as an FYI, over at Darwn Central they have swag you can buy -- coffee mugs, T shirts, etc. and the site gets a piece of the action.  They prefer it over straight donations.

Just an idea to ponder...

No recommended donation amounts. It's whatever y'all can afford to share with us. Any and all donations will be equally appreciated.

It's a joke.  At the DUmp, you need to be a donor to search.  One of the stupidest "incentives" ever.

No kidding!  It would make my life sooooo much easier if I could search on my biggest DUmmy nemesis... but I REFUSE to give them a stinkin' dime.

Wow dude, the site has been mostly useless to me since getting home from vacation.  It takes like 5 minutes to load a page.

I look forward to the upgrade.

Oh, and my internet connection isn't slow at home...  :

We know man, I feel your pain.

Why don't you go with a solution like 1&1 vs doing all the hosting yourself?  It's like $4 a month.  It's where I host full-auto.org and other sites I've had over the last 5 years or so.  Hell, the first 3 years was free.  Maybe they're running another promotion.

I used to run full-auto out of my house on a Dell server I bought.  I got tired of it hogging my bandwidth and having to race home when I was out having fun to kick the box because it died for some unknown reason (gotta love vintage Windows servers).

Either way, I know you'll get it sorted out.

Purchased today:

2 of these:

http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136010

Don't know what memory is installed because it takes DDR 266, DDR 333, or DDR3 400, so I'm going to have to wait until I receive the server Thursday.

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@conservativescave.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I've gotten this a few times today...

There are many other sites on the same server hogging a lot of the processing power. This is one of the reasons we're purchasing our own server.

I have RAID set up, the OS set up, and have access available to those that will be working with it, but we still have a little ways to go. We're building from scratch. Still have to harden the server and install smf.

Should perhaps consider a mass mailing to members directing them to this site (sans s) before too much time elapses.

that is the redirect we put up on the old site;  however, dreamhost has to be up for it to work.  maybe we should change the DNS for the old name to point here . . . . . dreamhost is totally going down tonight at midnight for (what they say will be) 12 hours.

Probably not a bad idea.
