FQ Notice: NOC Move In Progress

[Deb]

For those who may have missed the Status Page Announcement, forum posts, or the email that was sent and for those who are well aware.... The NOC move we've been talking about is now in progress.

If you missed the information concerning this you'll certainly want to read the following two posts at:
http://www.aota.net/ubb/Forum4/HTML/000396-1.html and
http://www.aota.net/ubb/Forum4/HTML/000399-1.html

Current Status: The local tech gawds are at the current NOC now preparing to pull the systems and transport them to the new location.[nbsp][nbsp]Sites will become accessible again once the move is completed.

Here’s wishing them, and all, the best ! :D

I know that you'll be biting fingernails, pullling hair and so on, while you wait along with the rest of us.[nbsp][nbsp]BUT I am sure that all will be fine, with the staff that you've managed to put together, not to mention the Franchise Player you snagged for a lifetime ;)[nbsp][nbsp].[nbsp][nbsp]I have been checking my domains since a little before 1:00 Am EST and at 1:12 Am EST I started getting no response, but I am confident that the move will go smoothly and all will be well.[nbsp][nbsp]

(edit) At 1: 48 Am EST the "We Are Upgrading!" page started appearing on my websites !![nbsp][nbsp] What a man TeRRa is !!!![nbsp][nbsp]Thunderous Applause here!!!!

Good Luck to all the "FQ" Staff

DOH! I'm a space cadet!

I finally have/had some free time the last few hours and Im happily and busily updating my domain and stuff and suddenly I cant ftp anymore! So I look here and Viola! I forgot! :) Fortunately I had completed the major stuff 1/2 hr ago although of course at this point no one can see it anyway! Fun fun fun!
Hey good luck and we'll see you on the flipside! :)
Time for sleep.

man, I'm fully impressed. Even the "echo" page is working. Cool.

Going without e-mail is going to be tough, but I'll hit the hay now. Hopefully by the time I wake back up, it will be done. After all, noon in Florida is 9 am here in California. And I bet you left yourselves a generous amount of time. Knowing FQ, you will finish early.

Good luck and good night!

[DKG]

Just for curiosity's sake, what does

"I do not accept If-None-Match "

mean?

edit: It only shows when the www is included in the url.[nbsp][nbsp]

Also, I neglected to say *thank you* for the awesome efforts y'all continue to put into FQ.[nbsp][nbsp]
So,
[nbsp]Thank you!
:)

Where are you seeing "I do not accept..." at? I do not see it anywhere with or w/o... let me know.

Deb

[DKG]

http://www.goldtalk.com/

...any page loaded with the www in the url gives that message.[nbsp][nbsp]When I remove it, I get the upgrade message.

Unfortunately, since I included the www in my links, bookmarks to our site contain it.[nbsp][nbsp]My bad, I neglected to warn our users of the upcoming upgrade, so they are probably wondering... LOL.[nbsp][nbsp]Seriously, it is no big deal.[nbsp][nbsp]It's a non-profit site.[nbsp][nbsp]And a very low-traffic time. :)

Is it just me, or do you all get the feeling you have when pacing the floors in a maternity ward? LOL I feel like an expectant...aunt, heh.

I don't see that "accept" thing. Looks fine to me.

Thank You, FQ
YFS200
- I wonder how many time per second this thread is getting checked.

[Deb]

Ok... most aren't see what you are seeing.[nbsp][nbsp]I've not been able to reproduce it from multiple locations.[nbsp][nbsp]TeRRa says it's probably a clash between a select few proxy or caching setups like squid (however I don't see it from our own squid cache...)

If you feel like reading a bit about it check out http://256.com/gray/docs/rfc2616/14.html RFC 2616 section 14.26[nbsp][nbsp]Not much we can do about that one but I can assure it's only going to be seen by very few....

Update The techs will be leaving the current NOC in about 20 minutes.[nbsp][nbsp]So far everything is going smoothly.[nbsp][nbsp]The easy part is about over :)

Deb
[nbsp]- And they're out of the gate!

Great![nbsp][nbsp]

Isn't that funny tho?[nbsp][nbsp]I'm not using any sort of proxy, and I am getting the same message whether I use our ATT@home cable connection or our ATT worldnet dial-up. ATT probably has some strange pipe-thing LOL
I thought it might be my PC settings, but hubby gets the same on his.[nbsp][nbsp]We are behind a home firewall...

It is nothing more than a curiosity to me.[nbsp][nbsp]I love puzzles. OK..Yes, I'm a bit obsessive-compulsive too. LOL
Fortunately, my pathology is satisfied though just knowing I'm not just seeing things. <g> I am sorry to distract Terra though. <img src="http://www.aota.net/ubb/confuse.gif" alt=":/" width=15 height=15>

Congratulations on the first step. :)
Would we say we are now in the tough transition stage of labor?[nbsp][nbsp]Next comes pushing.[nbsp][nbsp]Tell Terra to Breath. ;)

(OK I'm going to bed before I get any loopier than I am.)

[Deb]

ROFL!

[Charles Capps]

I love the title of the "We're moving" page...

[John Kennett]

Just out of interest I tried to see if I got the "I do not accept If-None-Match" message, and discovered that it only occurs on one of my sites:

rib.net

All the others work fine, which seems weird.

Never mind. It will be ancient history soon!

John

[Deb]

heh I wont even pretend to understand it...that's TeRRa's job. Well ok, I'll pretend...but my skills stop there:P[nbsp][nbsp]Both rib and goldtalk are on different servers... I would be curious to know exactly what causes it but as you said, it'll all be history soon :)

It seems my site which is on TAZ is still online but is not working correctly.

Since my site is using MySQL and that server is not online, I'm getting "Couldn't connect to the database." type of errors. Also, I am unable to access my E-Mail.

And worse, I get the following errors :
"MySQL Error:
Couldn't connect to the database.

Warning: Failed opening 'footer.php3' for inclusion in header.php on line 31

Warning: GLOBAL variable declaration meaningless in main() scope in incl_stats.php on line 3"

I though we were supposed to see the "echo" page until everything is ready, instead of a half-working site?

But wow! I just did a Trace Route and I really like the result :

Yeah, the "We're Upgrading" page isn't working now, and my browser looks like it's trying to go to a different address than it used to, but no web site, no server.[nbsp][nbsp]We getting close?

I just did a tracert and it showed all Qwest now (once it gets off my local ISP)... no more alter.net anywhere.[nbsp][nbsp]Did the propagation already start or is the tunneling working all the way back to my ISP?

I'm not in the habit of reading this forum very often, since FutureQuest has been so reliable.[nbsp][nbsp]That was to my disadvantage early this morning.[nbsp][nbsp]I knew nothing about the planned downtime until I came here to find out why I couldn't FTP.

Will someone please make sure I'm on the email notification list?[nbsp][nbsp]I know it's possible for an email to get lost among any of the dozen or more computers that may handle it before it's delivered.[nbsp][nbsp]So maybe you did send one, but please make sure.

And yes, I'll start reading this forum more regularly.

Other than this, I've had no trouble since becoming a FutureQuest customer six months ago.[nbsp][nbsp]You're leagues ahead of most other web hosts.

[Paul]

Hi rick-k:

We sent a notice to the email address we have on file for each account. After everything is back to normal, you may want to toss an email to the service desk:
http://service.futurequest.net/tech/support/people to be sure that we have the correct primary email address on file, as this is where the invoices and all other mailings would go.

Thanks,
Paul

Judging by the good mood of Terra's post in the other thread I think we have nothing to fear - they've got at least another hour and a half by my watch :)

What's worse my main site is a very popular NFL team site and the 1040 UBB board members and several thousand lurkers are going nuts.[nbsp][nbsp]My bad!

FTP is working for me... good sign!

[JW]

I do not accept If-None-Match message early on, then no access or default pages displayed at all through the night.

Can access email, and ASTRO via telnet, all the files still there![nbsp][nbsp]No http though.

Patiently? waiting. Appreciate all the work, effort, - and no doubt a few headaches and nailbiters, too.

JW.

[Deb]

Everything is plugged in and most things are "up" but everything is not completed yet.[nbsp][nbsp]We're almost done but for all intents and purposes consider the move still "progress in progress" things will start to clear themselves out for you within the next hour or so.

All things seem right on schedule...nothing early, but nothing falling too far behind either :)

Deb
[nbsp]- Flip the switch already!

[Justin]

All of the servers are in their new location and are powered up. Currently TeRRa is still at the new NOC, reconfiguring each server to listen on their new IPs as well as the old ones (for the tunnelling).

Those who's DNS is updated will be able to see their sites as soon as each server is brought back online. Those who's DNS is cached will be forwarded through the tunnel once that is up and running, which will most likely happen on schedule (or at worst, not much later) at 12:00 noon.

All in all, things have gone quite smoothly. We had a few minor unexpected problems, one of which was the DNS not wanting to work properly right away, but we have stayed pretty close to the planned schedule. I'm now back home and TeRRa is finishing up with the configurations. As far as the move itself (physical), it's done :)

I have no idea what's up with the "Upgrading" page. As for email, all mail on TAZ is currently down (though TAZ himself is up). Email on other servers may or may not work - but once all is said and done, it will be back up.

I only have one question - is email still being queued for delivery on Nine or have we already received what we're supposed to receive?

[Deb]

I'd lean toward the idea that there's still mail in the queue.[nbsp][nbsp]It'll keep trying all day until it gets everything delivered.[nbsp][nbsp]There will be quite a back log due to the amount of time the mail servers were unavailable so you may want to expect mail throughout the day if you are the type who receives a bunch of it.[nbsp][nbsp]There shouldn't be any losses though :)

Deb
[nbsp]- Going and going and going and...

[PaulKroll]

And at this time I can log into Phoenix via telnet, but the mysql02 server doesn't recognize my password (though mysql02 is pingable and I've double-checked my pw spelling/case).

And when I point IE at my domain, it looks like it's seeing the new IP (w/the "connecting to 63.95.221.75" in the status bar), but still doesn't connect. Returns in just a moment with an error. (Before, at about 1:00 in the morning, I was getting the "we're moving" message, but that's gone now.)

I'm sure it'll all be fine soon.[nbsp][nbsp]If you're like, two minutes late though, I believe my terms of service say that FQ will buy me a Porsche Boxster.

(Well I can dream, can't I? :) )
[Edited because I can't spell the word "me" correctly on a first try...]
[This message has been edited by PaulKroll (edited 09-03-00@11:12 am)]

[Deb]

One thing to note, when we say you should be seeing your sites, if you are still not able to, you may want to reboot your system.[nbsp][nbsp]Some boxes tend to cache entries they really shouldn't cache (windows) and if this is the case a good reboot (or just a plain ol kick) may do the trick.

The more you visit while down...the longer it takes to see it when it up.[nbsp][nbsp]Strange but true...

Deb
[nbsp]- Going to re-read terms of service :P

[PaulKroll]

You can safely skip re-reading the ToS. :)

Rebooted and deleted my IE cache. Still shows the IP, but doesn't get a page. Course, since via telnet mysql02 still doesn't recognize my pw, I'd not expect ALL the site to work yet(a fair amount uses php/mysql02 for session tracking), but I pointed it at a static page just To Be Sure.

Can anyone else see http://www.eatright.com/browsertrouble.html ? I'd not be surprised if my ISP (Mediaone/AT&amp;T) had some bizarre caching scheme I wasn't aware of in the way. (I'm not pointed at a proxy cache, FYI, but that doesn't mean they don't have something between me and the net.)

[Deb]

"when we say you should be seeing your sites" -- We haven't said that yet muhahahahah

Deb
[nbsp]- Rumor has it...but official word is not in yet.

I can't see your page.
But Deb said "when we say you should be seeing your sites" and they didn't say it yet.

ROFL![nbsp][nbsp]Ummm yeah, what Benj said :)

[Squirrel]

I certainly have FTP access --->waiting with baited breath :)

[wolfstalks]

Yess, it's very nice to have FTP already as it gave me a chance to change some pop up windows, announcing the downtime, to other content, so as soon as the sites come up the new content will be visible!!!![nbsp][nbsp]
[nbsp](Plus it gave me something to do other than hit reload!!![nbsp][nbsp]Poor reload button may have to be replaced after this[nbsp][nbsp] LOL[nbsp][nbsp]:P )

Benj

[Deb]

Not all servers are completed yet.[nbsp][nbsp]About 1/2 of the sites are up right now..the other half are being worked on now....

If you did not receive the email it indicates we do not have your email address on file.[nbsp][nbsp]Whatever FutureQuest shows as the "Primary Contact" for a domain (this would be where the invoices are sent) is where the email went...

If you believe we have the wrong contact email address on the file please send an email to Service@FutureQuest.net after everything is back up and running and let us know so that we may make updates accordingly where needed. Note that resold accounts wouldn't receive the emails as they would go to the reseller....

Wont be fixing those until after the rest of the sites are up but I have added it to his list :)

All the errors I reported previousely are now corrected since the MySQL Server is back online.

Moke, try again..it's up now :)

TAZ, SIX, NINE, SEVEN, ASTRO, PHOENIX, DEXTER, DEEDEE, MYSQL01 should all be workin for your web sites now.

There may be other various smaller issues such as was noted with couters but the sites themselves are in fact being delivered :)

MYSQL02 et al is being worked on now.

Change nothing.[nbsp][nbsp]That's something we need to fix on this end but it is low priority.[nbsp][nbsp]Once everything that delivers site content is up we'll then work on the other items such as counters.... e.g. they'll magically fix themselves :)

Yup it's up!!

BUT, the secure checkout won't work ;(

Yep, my site on Seven is up and flying![nbsp][nbsp]But I also don't have the secure server pages working (and that's one of my favorite pages...)

You all at FQ are too cool!!!![nbsp][nbsp]I am just in awe that you could move and upgrade all at once and do it smoothly!![nbsp][nbsp]Y'all are just amazing!![nbsp][nbsp]My UBB boards are working (my addicts are back LOL)...classified script is working too :D.[nbsp][nbsp]I don't think I got my queued mail yet, but I'm sure it is coming soon enough.

I shamefully admit I don't know what server the site I own is on or the ones I maintain, but oh well.

thanks a million!!!

Great Job![nbsp][nbsp]Terra, you are a wonder, STILL![nbsp][nbsp]Who else would spend so much time making sure that the move was smooth for all your clients?[nbsp][nbsp]Thank you thank you, and here's a thanks from one of *our* clients:

What server is Jimbo on?[nbsp][nbsp]If it's NINE, can I apply for a transfer... QUICK?!?![nbsp][nbsp]:P

Yes Jeff I see your secure server isn't working either, tried it for you ;)

Hubby will be up in 5 minutes, any volunteers to tell him our secure server isn't working?? Please, someone besides me!

Hmmmm people asking for transfers to other servers? Does this mean that some are worse than others?

[Dan Kaplan]

Not to be a party pooper, but I'm intermittently getting very delayed and somewhat slow connections to a few sites on SEVEN and this forum (DEEDEE now?).[nbsp][nbsp]Some pages appear unavailable briefly within a site (404 and 500 errors), then come back alive...

Would those be DNS issues, Terra-Tweaking, or something else?

Deb, is it the clump of somethingness in front of the column?

Dan

[YFS200]

All good at my end. I was having tons of[nbsp][nbsp]problems until I cleared out the local DNS server, then restarted the programs with problems(email and browser). Now it's back up to full speed. Great job.

TAZ and SIX report back fine.

YFS200[nbsp]

[Deb]

Things will clear themselves out.... there is a *lot* going on in the background right now to ensure tunneling etc works as it should throughout the week.[nbsp][nbsp]Hmmmm people asking for transfers to other servers? Does this mean that some are worse than others? Nah, nothing to do with the servers.[nbsp][nbsp]Someone made a joke concerning the Sys Admin's 'favorite things' so as a joke and the server move requests are all a part of that joke ;)[nbsp][nbsp]

As far as SSL that will happen soon.... priority was content....."i hapy. tis tree hose bak." And THAT is what it's all about![nbsp][nbsp]I do find joy in seeing the lil ones happy :D

Deb
[nbsp]- Man this community can type fast!

[Kara]

OK I should probably run and hide with this question *EG*, but um when do we get to see the pics?[nbsp][nbsp]I'm sure you all wouldn't have won any beauty contests at 6 AM LOL.

Kara

[Deb]

LOL Kara,

I wasn't there to take pics during the move... I guarantee I would've only been in the way.[nbsp][nbsp]However you may want to peak at http://www.aota.net/SneakPeak/ :P

Deb
[nbsp]- Window Seat Please

[JoeRT]

people asking for transfers to other servers? Does this mean that some are worse than others? I'm perfectly happy and very pleased to be housed on NINE... as long as my neighbors don't intentionally do things to irritate the landlords.[nbsp][nbsp]:P

Huh . . . my server is supposed to be up by I still have nothing.[nbsp][nbsp]What is happening?[nbsp][nbsp]Also, at the same time of this upgrade Network Solutions finally changed my ISP to FQ.[nbsp][nbsp]Is FQ going to recognize my URL?

Bill

[Moke]

Need an estimated time on SSL being fixed.
I believe we paid more for SSL over what it costs to have just content.

Content may be a priority to some, but I believe making money is a priority to everyone. Are you a volunteer for FutureQuest? Am sure people consider their paychecks priority and am sure the owners of FutureQuest are in this business to make money.

Not trying to be snippy, just stating facts.

[jimbo]

mysql02 is up and running :).

Sites were running, as promised by around noon.

Overall, FQ has been wonderful through this move.

-jim

PS:[nbsp][nbsp]Email me an address that you guys would like to receive a case of whatever 'beverage' would your Labor Day the best.[nbsp][nbsp]It's the least I could do :).

-jim

[Deb]

andreas yes... I just responded...Our email was queued and is just now being caught up.

Bill reload... tis fixed (was separate issue... your site is on DEEDEE)

Moke.. he's working on it now.[nbsp][nbsp]The reason SSL didn't have the same priority as 'content' is because EVERYONE on the servers has content and if their domain names aren't working then the SSL wouldn't either, so the Apaches had to come online before the SSL could work at all....

Deb
[nbsp]- All in all, the results have been amazing.

My site is up, but running much more slowly than before.

[DKG]

You know you're over the edge when:

You get choked up re-reading Deb's introductory announcement letter.

You dreamed about the move all night.[nbsp][nbsp]

You feel like telling people who don't know (or care) a thing about this sort of thing.

You're convinced someone will be able to relate, so you post these quirks publicly without any shame whatsoever.

;)[nbsp]

[Moke]

THANKS!!!!!

Appreciate all the hard work!!

Just because I won a million dollars on iwon.com doesn't mean I don't want more money! ;)[nbsp]

Well all this sure looks like good news on the boards as far as the servers' progress is concerned.[nbsp][nbsp]I see some people were able to get e-mail by 11am.[nbsp][nbsp]But it's after 3pm and I'm still not able to get e-mail or view my site.[nbsp][nbsp]How can I find out specifically how progress is going?[nbsp][nbsp]Is everything up and running now?

[sheila]

jojo,

Are you behind a proxy? I was able to view your site just fine.

<I see Bob is faster than I am...what Bob said.>

[jojo14]

Thanks for checking.[nbsp][nbsp]Would you know?... as soon as I posted my site came online.[nbsp][nbsp]Coincedence... or something else???

I'm so touched at what a remarkable community this is.[nbsp][nbsp]

Just checked my e-mail and that's not up yet but that's ok.[nbsp][nbsp]I'm sure it'll be up soon.[nbsp][nbsp]Thanks guys.[nbsp][nbsp]You all are the best.[nbsp][nbsp]

Jojo

[Jeff Gammon]

Just checking, I saw an earlier messge that SSL was up, but I'm not sure if that meant just for the one site mentioned or for all.[nbsp][nbsp]I'm still not able to access it on my site (terrafin.com, on SEVEN).

Thanks

[Binky]

Sorry to be the sourpuss but it would be nice to follow the progress of this move without hundreds of postings to wade through.

Some of my sites are not yet functional, or only partly functional, and I would just like to know what's happening. I know the FQ staff are doing their best and explanations are probably somewhere in this thread but I just can't wade through it all.

Can we have an "announcements only" thread with the ocassional update?

:)

[jimbo]

Sorry to be the sourpuss
That isn't exactly the word I would use...

[SandyG]

Well, I have been back up since 7am this morning and getting e-mail too. At noon, I sent an email to tech support because I cannot log into my FTP, and needed to this morning. :)

Please can we get this fixed since your not replying to my mail...and I am not reading this whole board to find out the answers.[nbsp]

[Deb]

Hi Sandy,

I did respond to the email, possibly it's backed up in the queue and/or another issue has caused you to not receive.[nbsp][nbsp]We are aware of the problem but also having some tech difficulties that need to be corrected.[nbsp][nbsp]A new thread has started at http://www.aota.net/ubb/Forum4/HTML/000402-1.html with updates.

Deb
[nbsp]- Getting there

[SandyG]

Deb, I have not received your e-mail yet, and of course, now my e-mail is down. However, it was up earlier when I wrote the above message.[nbsp]

[BJ]

I had email this afternoon but for at least the last hour and half that I am aware of nothing is coming through.

Is their a problem with the queue or something else going on?

BJ

[BJ]

9:50 and 103 emails downloading.

Good to go!

Deb, if you didnt see my email, I am happy to say "I knew her when".[nbsp][nbsp]You are an inspiration.[nbsp][nbsp] Good luck in the new NOC for even bigger and better things for FutureQuest.

[Moke]

Well it's noon here in EST Land and neither of our sites are up and no email. Guess I go read on my Stephen King book awhile. Maybe if I go bury our sites in the Pet Semetary they'll come back to life! ;)[nbsp]

[AndrusW]

Well Santa is now a little late, unless Deb mean't noon central time ;)[nbsp][nbsp]:D

[Deb]

Each server is coming back 100% one at a time... you should begin seeing everything as expected within the hour.....

[Benj]

Why my apache message got deleted ?

Benj

[sheila]

When I try my site, the browser tries for a while, and a while, and .... after a bit it says it can't connect to the server, so using a previously cached copy instead, which gives me the echo/upgrade page.

But I have been able to get e-mail.

[Deb]

Benj, I'm not sure what you are referring to? "Why my apache message got deleted ?"[nbsp][nbsp]What domain is in question?

Just found that your sites are on DEXTER...he's not quite up to par yet but should be soon....

The "browser trying" process - in IE it appears as if it is opening a page on MSN before it gives the error message.[nbsp][nbsp]What kind of secret information is Microsoft taking from us when we try to access non-accessible pages?

-jim

[Jacob Stetser]

I don't know what he's seeing, but before the server went "No connection" again I was seeing "Success! Apache has been installed on this server" or something like that.

Now I can't connect. I'm in no hurry, though!

I'm pretty sure that getting this message is a good thing "It Worked! The Apache Web Server is Installed on this Web Site!"[nbsp][nbsp]This is like expecting one of my friends to deliver a baby LOL.

Kara

[Benj]

Well I posted a message on page 5 I think saying[nbsp][nbsp]that I received a message :"apache was succesfully installed on this server" when trying to get in one of my site.

I was asking then if you had to reinstall everything ?
And then couldn't find this message...

Benj

[herc]

Both of my sites come up with a cannot contact server error and they are on different servers.

BTW a couple of weeks ago while I was in the CNC for about 5 minutes a new CNC came up with a new shiny (and I mean shiny) intergface. Is that that going to be the CNC after the move. Anybody else see it??

Best of luck with the move

[JoeRT]

NINE, we have contact... you're cleared for takeoff.

WOOHOO!
