I picked up another Xserve and adding it into the mix. I will mirror this database and have vbadvanced front end, I am attempting to make the move off postnuke.
I doubt any downtime for the forums or front page, just a heads up if you see any weird front page or forum database behavior over the next few days.
As part of my developer deals and regular site upkeep I plan to continue upgrading at a decent interval. Having one of the fastest sites is high priority.
Thank-you and I believe I speak for all users. Will do.Quote:

So, do you find them to be better than other servers in some way then?
Awesome Fugger was nice seeing them while in Vegas. vbadvanced front end should really help the front page.
The new Xserve has a few changes, Ill post images tomorrow to drool over.
3x 15K.5 sas drives we will be moving into, moving off 2x 10K raptors.
Awesome! I wanna see. :DQuote:

Xserves are nice, competitively priced machines, especially now that they're Xeon boxes and Mac OS X Server is a good, secure UNIX OS especially for things like web hosting.
Furthermore, FUGGER gets a deal as an Apple developer as he mentioned (again).
:up: Had a few database errors today also...
yeah only for a short time though ^^
Yeah. The server was being adminstrateded :D
I like the xserves, but i just didnt think anyone used them. Most people laugh at apple computers, so a apple server is just silly to many people.Quote:

Seems like heavy disk activity will cause db errors.
I rebooted too, mysql was down twice.
:cool: so you're implementing mysql replication on database end ?Quote:

There is quite a bit of info for doing this on OS X so it should go pretty easy, you have done this before George?
I have navicat, makes it easy to test remote database access and logins.
oh i see mirror a copy to new server to run as live server :)
never used OS X - give me plain old linux (CentOS) any day for vB forums :D
Fugger have you though of limiting time between searches to say 20 or even 30 seconds? It often helps to speed up and put less stress on the server.
so is this both a community and your test bed
We are under utilizing this server now, searches are as fast as they can be, just need faster drives.
I dont restrict with image verification or time limit, finding information without squinting at jumbled up letters.
Maybe we will be on SSD soon, already looking at options/candidates.
[reverse pyschology]... I hear Kyles getting SSD's... tomorrow..... [reverse pyschology]
:sofa: j/k :)
The live server is not a test bed, I keep many backups in place. This new machine is so I dont have to touch the live servers and get as close to 100% before swapping the IP addresses.Quote:

there is still stuff to laugh at them about, like not letting the sun spark get OSX, but the server osx is much cleaner and closer to BSD than the client os isQuote:

How much would that cost? SSDs are expensive...Quote:

99% of my posts are from my lovely little apple. :)
Yeah there's definitely still plenty wrong or laughable with Apple-can we not say that about any major corporation?-but their hardware and OS has improved leaps and bounds since the mid 90s when I first started supporting them professionally. And the recent switch to Intel was the most major leap ahead in terms of raw performance gain that I've ever seen. Finally my users working with 2GB+ Photoshop files with Illustrator and InDesign and Notes in the background and 50 browser windows open performing various processes really see and feel a dramatic difference with their new machines compared to any time before. And they can run Windows if need be. And vm really "works" now. I could go on...
And, yeah, they're still pretty :)
Fixed :)Quote:
