Well, it looks like the move is complete.
It also looks like I really underestimated the size of the forum database and the time it would get for me to import it correctly :-/

But yeah, a few hours later, AAO is back !
Rejoice, members ! :)

See? I told you! Server maintenance and transfers always have an unforeseen problem. It's sod's law. :P

Yep, we survived.

Also, don't be surprised if you can see the new AAO but other people still see the old one with the "forums disabled" message - it can take up to an hour for your ISP to update its DNS cache to point to the new server. :-)

Good to know we managed to pull through the change. It's too bad that I didn't see this thread earlier. I have to pay a lot of people back for all the 'End of the world looting' that I did.

Well, now I have the power to have you panicking anytime - I can shutdown the AAO server whenever I want ! Cool huh ? :P

So what about the Gyakuten Wiki spambot problem that was first reported on CR and then Tap brought it up here?

Cf the previous page :
Unas wrote:I'm aware of the status of GW, and I've actually completely disabled posting new stuff on it for the moment.

It's unrelated to the server change though, as GW is hosted on a different server - I might move it to my new one some day, but it wouldn't change much about the spam until I find the time to design my own anti-spam system... And I'd rather spend my free time on AAO6 than that ;-)
So anyway, for the moment gw will stay as it is - AAO remains my priority.

Thanks Kroki :D

Mango, while it's true that I've become rather bad at math over the last 2 years (because I haven't been doing interesting math for that long), it's completely unrelated.
What's more important here is that I'm bad at predicting the future, or that I'm inexperienced in system administration - it's the first time that I set a real production server after all, so I had no idea importing a big database from the command line took that long; now, I'll know :-P
