ColdBlooded Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 we're going to have to go Offline for a few good hours later this week. :( We are moving dedicated hosting from one of our dedicated box to cloud hosting service. Migrating this stack (along with other RPG related sites) over to Digital Ocean in a coming couple of days. Exact time to be confirmed and announced 12 hours before take down. Hope everything goes smooth. We'll be up as soon as possible though. Quote
The Coder Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I think we should get some sort of free mod for the downtime :P Quote
sniko Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I think we should get some sort of free mod for the downtime :P Why? You don't appreciate them anyway. Quote
Guest Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I think we should get some sort of free mod for the downtime :P MCCodes themselves don't create mods as far as I know, and they can't really just "give out" others peoples mods for free.. Quote
MNG Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Meh. Better then nothing. Forgive me but are you paying some type of membership to be here? If so yes someone get this man a free mod but if not shut your mouth and wait just like everyone else. :) Quote
lucky3809 Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 I think we should get some sort of free mod for the downtime :P Actually, they don't give free mods, that they create away, but on their website, they do have lists after lists of FREE mods that this community has given away for FREE... they are already giving us this FREE forum to use, and the FREE mccode Lite engine.!! Can't complain... Quote
ColdBlooded Posted April 30, 2014 Author Posted April 30, 2014 You guys can all have !Angel for 1 night subscription license, MCCodes !Angel v1. ;) Currently configuring the webserver. Need to ensure its production ready, don't want exploits. Quote
The Spirit Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Im considering switching to digital ocean. Let us know how you get on Quote
sniko Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Im considering switching to digital ocean. Let us know how you get on --- Quote --- When someone asks me where I host my stuff, I say with confidence the same company every time - Digital Ocean. Since I joined them a few months back (maybe November 2013...?), I've not only had 100% uptime (their guarantee is 99.99% Uptime), but their support is fast, reliable, and easy! I highly suggest you signup and deploy a droplet with them and follow them on Twitter for the latest news. Source But in all seriousness They're awesome to do business with! Quote
The Spirit Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 They seem very cheap as well which is a bonus! What kind of setup do you have on your droplet Sniko? if you mind me asking Quote
sniko Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 They seem very cheap as well which is a bonus! What kind of setup do you have on your droplet Sniko? if you mind me asking I've quite a few, but mainly running centos 6.4 LAMP stack! Quote

ColdBlooded Posted May 1, 2014 Author Posted May 1, 2014 So far so good. Went with Ubuntu, configuring LAMP stack from the ground up manually. Let's see how MCCode v2 performs on it... Quote

Guest Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Why do that when you can deploy an image from their repo? Why use LAMP if your manually doing it? Quote
SRB Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Clearly stated they're building a LAMP stack, so with one already built and available, my question remains - why bother redoing what's done? Wouldn't rewrite jquery just to use a function, would you? Edit: you're Quote

Edit: you're I meant why would THEY use a LAMP stack, if your building something from scratch intending to not use a template, could of used nginx Quote
SRB Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 I meant why would THEY use a LAMP stack, if your building something from scratch intending to not use a template, could of used nginx Ah, I took that message wrong, indeed. And I have no idea - I guess it does fit the needs, even if not the best choice for the requirements. Quote
ColdBlooded Posted May 1, 2014 Author Posted May 1, 2014 It's all about fine tuning, know and understand each service running. Quote
ColdBlooded Posted May 20, 2014 Author Posted May 20, 2014 Finally, time has come. Please consider this post as your 12 hour pre-migration notification. After 12 hours ticking on from this post, we will begin server migration so expect some down time after 12 hours. We apologize for any inconvenience. Quote
ColdBlooded Posted May 22, 2014 Author Posted May 22, 2014 Server migration has been completed. MakeWebGames.com now lives on a new server, with Digital Ocean. It took a while for my DNS to propogate but got there eventually. I've done a smoke screen test on MWG and nothing seems to be broken. We shall let MWG run for 48 hours on the server leaving a bit of time for the fallout of mwg (hopefully not) etc before moving other sites over. Please report any issues. Thank you all for the cooperation! Quote
