Forums going down in the near future

[Dairyman]

I knew I shouldn't have ignored this. 

Good luck Nathan, hope it works out!

What time is this going to start?

Setting up DNS (which is new to me), so things are going ok, just slowly. So not quite ready for forums to go down. Will likely be going down late Sunday (another few hours from this post).

I got on early to do my legwork so you can yank that cord anytime now....

Update:

Still encountering issues setting up DNS, which needs to be done before can move forums. Anyone a BIND9 expert.

So until I get this going I don't plan on moving the forums. I'd expect with the amount of time this has taken me so far and not being able to get proper DNS responses that this update will not be happening (if at all) until later tonight. So delayed several more hours.

whats bind9

Heh, I'll probably be asleep when this happens then so no need to worry about my "CH fix".

Good luck, again. It looks like you'll need it.

What operating system are you using? That could really help...

You might have to substitute a few commands if its not the right OS... but check this out:
https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/dns.html
I'm sure your ISP would be more than willing to help you..
Might have to hint to them how big CH is, and how many people use it, and what good business you are bringing to them.

Other than that, former Forum Hero: Rob Pomeroy is great with this networking stuff... you could give him a call over Skype, I know he would be more than willing to help.

Update:

Slowly but surely that's my motto. Have all DNS done (quite the learning experience), Apache tweaked and setup with virtual hosting setup, majority of site moved over, MySQL server setup.. whew and I'm sure more but my brain is a little fried at the moment to think of everything.

Really just need to finish with the mail server setup, which with a custom setup I'm doing could allow for users to have computerhope.com e-mail addresses, move over scripts, and move the database data for the forums.

Going to take a little cool down though and play some Warhammer Online and let my brain cool down for a bit. It has almost been 12 hours of staring at a *nix console screen which gets pretty exhausting.

However, really trying my best to get this done today.
