Webserver Switch

Our webserver (and a few other of my VMs) are in their death throws. The fact this forum is still working is a surprise to me. So before my luck runs out, I have built another box and will be cutting the website(s) over to it sometime probably tomorrow (Wed, Aug 6, 2014) between 8am and 4pm MST. I'm giving myself the whole day because nothing ever goes as planned
I know we're fairly active during the day with our Euro/Aussie friends, but I'll try to make it as quick as possible (should really just be a downtime of 5 mins to change the firewalls).
Cross your fingers.

The website(s) will be down starting in about 15 mins for the switch to the new server.
Hang in there while I test things out, might take an hour, might take 4.
Hopefully, it will take 10 mins so I can pat myself on the back [/center:3dogz6xa]

Aside from a stumble over the new apache DENY all rule, things went smoothly. I am sure there will be little tweaks to come, so please be patient if/when something doesn't work, and immediately let me know so I can fix it.

[strike:22ed3nbc]Yup, one site at a time[/strike:22ed3nbc]
VGOEmulators, VGOPlayers, and the Launcher should all be working now. The Wiki is suffering. There's voodoo at work there. Hopefully I can resolve it soon.

Using the excuse that I took down the webserver today, I am going to relocate some MySQL databases too so things may be up and down all afternoon while I make this move.
The new server is performing wonderfully, so at least that's good. Now all my other services are jealous. Need to make everyone speedy.

Web server seems much more responsive now John.
