Moving servers

[pav]

I will be moving Angband.oook.cz to a new server today. There will be an outage, hopefully less than an hour.

To maintainers who host their variant websites here and lost access: update your FTP clients to a new hostname. Set it to angband.oook.cz to be future proof.

EDIT: it's done.

Wow, that went fast!

And the interim picture was funny.

Glad you liked it

New server seems to be a lot slower in responses than the old one was. I get timeouts almost every single time I return to discussion from some thread by pressing either "vanilla" or...what was that other selection, I'm getting only timeouts from another tab...ok now it's working again "angband".

Is there something wrong in the server? Old one was very reliable, this one seems to be very unstable.

RNG is reading this forum again. Immediately after posting every single link works like charm. Everything happens "snap" like that. No delays whatsoever.

Sad to hear that. The new server should perform reliably (I haven't noticed any problems so far) and it's much beefier hardware than the old one.

Problem might be on the network somewhere between you and the server, as the old one was here in Prague, Czech republic and the new one is on OVH network in Roubaix, France. According to traceroute, traffic switches from OVH backbone to NORDUnet in Amsterdam's AMSIX. You can monitor this weather page http://weathermap.ovh.net/amsterdam that particular link utilization is now at cca 60% which leaves a lot of headroom. Each link is 1Gbit, I think.

It's a bit odd behavior, either pages come like snap, it's there, or there is a long wait, nothing between those. I seem to get long wait every time I press F5, but fast response with ctrl-F5 (Firefox 3.6.15). It's like something is wrong with cache-behavior. Definitely something is broken, I'm just not sure what.

And if you look at the browser's status bar when it's stuck, what's the message? Is it resolving (looking up), or sending request, or waiting for reply?

This might well be some DNS resolving problem.
