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

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off by Ivan Jenic The Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system is currently $239.99 on Amazon for the 2-pack, down from $329.99.

The 2-pack covers up to 4,000 square feet (372 square meters) and supports 100+ connected devices, which handles the vast majority of home setups without breaking a sweat. Wi-Fi 6E brings access to the 6 GHz band for lower latency across the network, and the 2.5 Gb Ethernet port supports gigabit+ internet plans if your ISP offers them. eero's TrueMesh technology handles traffic routing automatically, so you're not manually managing which devices connect to which node.

If you're covering a larger home or want more nodes, the 3-pack is $329.99 and the 4-pack is $479.98, both at similar discount levels.
