Hi All

I'm pleased to say, we are now running on the new scoobynet servers.

We should see a dramatic performance improvement, but there will still be tweaks to get it just right.

Please feedback your comments on the speed, etc.

All the best

Simon

 

Seems faster so far.

 

Just tried a couple of searches, first impression seems nice and quick. I'll have another go later when more people come back online!

 

Seems faster at the moment.

 

it will take a while to settle down, there's a lot of caching that needs to happen for the speed to show itself in full.

But on the other hand, we only have about 200 users online currently (due to the long outage - apologies) so we won't know what will happen once we have 600 - 700 online until it happens.

In addition, the sooner the load on the old page dies down we will see a further improvement, although nothing significant.

Then once we have that sorted, we'll start the fine tuning, and then switch all the features on (such as search, etc), and tune a but more.

Thank you to all for your patience. We're approaching the light at the end of the tunnel now

All the best

Simon

 

Search doesnt work, and certain rooms are closed to peasants.

Seems exactly the same as yesterday, I hope you didnt put too much effort into this modification.

If you did get your money back!

 

Thanks for the update on this Simon. Seems faster.

 

Well done chaps!

Its Getting there!

 

As you said, let it bed in a bit then you should be able to "increase the rev limiter" by tweaking MySQL a bit!

 

So is this goodbye IIS/ASP and hello LAMP?

Us geeks need the gory details

 

Loads faster, well done guys!

 

lol

The only LAMP that I know about is probably me.... although very dimmly lit after all the hours it has taken both me Simon to get the new servers set-up and running!

Regards,
Shaun.

 

Sorry for the outtage of the server folks.

Everything should be back up to speed now.

Regards,
Shaun.

 

Seems slow to me right now to be honest. Getting bored of it, never used to...will try again later or tomorrow.

 

Seems about the same .Can't feel alot of difference .The change of page feels very smoooth though Good change over

 

Seems fine here, Search is def quicker

Well done chaps & cheers for all the effort

 

Superb!!

Well done to Simon, Shaun and all the chaps and chapesses of the Scoobynet Admin team for their hard work recently. A job well done.

 

Congrats on the server, much quicker.

But it means all the bookmarks I have saved of all the useful and favourite threads are gone, Ah well..

Strange. I have just tried to access this site via www.scoobynet.co.uk and got a load of gobbledegook. Using the url bbs.scoobynet.co.uk gets me in.

Has this got anything to do with the servers then?

WB

 

Same thing happened to me,
still got no search and extreamly slow

Sorry !!

 

Much faster. Almost back to the speed it was before the upgrade!

 

Apologies guys

It appears the server went to the wall at some time in the early hours.

Only just found out, so will investigate now.

All the best

Simon

 

nudge nudge.

Simon

Good work!

SN3 Seems faster by say 30% over the old server on my 56K dial up.

Simon, whilst at work this morn (BAE Systems)the link to the new S/net just dumped out on a blank page with a load of garbage, was that a common fault 4 everyone or just a prob with a networked company (firewall etc), there were loads of us with no access, people crying everywhere

 

Not sure who you have hosting with (presumably at least one dedicated server), but they are not too good at setting up DNS. Either that, or the ns1.esoftsolutions.co.uk. nameserver is down.

There are a lot of DNS problems - no glue, no A record, no RDNS.....etc.....no wonder its incredibly slow and has been all day today for me.

I'd be interested in the specs on this new server. I know of a similar sized forum (members, post, threads), well maybe a touch bigger, that is spread across 4 HEFTY servers.

I would have a chat with the host, and if they are not sure.....find a new one!

 

There have been significant DNS issues today.

 

All seems fine to me so far. Congrats on all the work you have put into the Net.

seems far too slow to me.used to be able to get around sn2 far quicker!

 

It was a good site, but lately it's getting worse day by day
