New Server going online today!


Recommended Posts

No down time huh :p

just kidding.. glad to see it back up.. or did I slip through the cracks again?

What issues did you have? It's not been down at all for the majority of us

The only way I can connect to neowin is if I change my dns server from my ISP's (www.bethere.co.uk) to ones provided by Open DNS

* 208.67.222.222

* 208.67.220.220

Unfortunately, we can't control the nameservers of every single ISP out there, which is why we put that notice up on the old servers before they were pulled so that people didn't just lose the site without a clue as to why.

I haven't been able to connect since I got home, and I have been trying for 2.5 hours now. Someone else isn't able to get on either, he keeps getting the moving server page like I did.

I have been doing Hard Refresh, and clearing cache, cookies, etc etc for the entire time, and only got back on now.

I have no idea why some ISPs still haven't updated, the nameservers were transferred well over 36 hours ago, and the TTL on the records is low enough they ought to have rechecked in that time.

Somebody should have mentioned the IP address 209.124.63.212

I had to use http://network-tools.com/ to find it

I didn't want to mention that for fear again of people putting it into hosts files. After the move is complete, the site will not be hosted on the box that is currently running it, this will be purely for MySQL, we are using it now as it is the only server of ours in the new DC we are moving to.

Gotcha. Using that IP address was horrible anyway, none of the graphics where showing up, and I had to re-enter it every time I clicked a link. I couldn't log in ether because it kept going to neowin.net rather than using the IP address.

Getting a few server busy messages at the moment too.

We'll after posting that message, I was once again locked out with the "moving server message" on both Firefox 3, and IE7.

I finally managed to get back on after closing my browser for awhile, and hard refreshing. Hopefully things will be okay from here on in

Look what I came accross, while I was trying to find out what was going on... http://www.msghelp.net/showthread.php?tid=21899&page=2

:whistle: :laugh:

if you have problems, try a dnsflush

C:\>ipconfig /flushdns

Windows IP Configuration

Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache

(note: for vista you have to have a administrative cmd window, {Start -> type cmd -> ctrl + shift + enter -> continue if you have UAC})

That was the previous server move, when they actually went down during the transfer.

Ok.. I have done all of the following:

clear cookies

clear cache

clear browsing history

did a ipconfig /flushdns

a reboot of my PC

and a hard refresh..

I found that www.neowin.net still gives me the server moving error, so I am using http://neowin.net, which seems to work. I still have to remove the www. everytime I click a thread, so it takes a little while to post something

I got to keep flushing my DNS, clearing my cache, and doing a hard refresh, and even then, it is only temporary...

That is a very strange issue as www.neowin.net is just a cname (effectively a pointer) to neowin.net :s

I am not alone in this issue. Perhaps you should update the moving server page to tell people that the site is back open, and shouldn't receive this error.

That message will only appear if your DNS has not yet updated to point at the new IP addresses, it does not, never has, and never will display on the new server. The site itself was never down at any point in the move, and we waited 48+ hours after changing the DNS records before displaying that message at the old IP address. 48 hours ought to be plenty of time for ISPs to have updated their dns servers, as our TTLs were set below that.

I swear neowin was working for me properly before, but now I'm back to that same screen

Not sure what's going on... cleared all the dns/cookies/whatever i can on my computer

Stupid Rogers...

Edit: what the hell... yeah... I remember reading the frontpage stories normally when I got onto my computer, but now I'm back to that same screen saying servers moved

    • Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
    • The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
