In a couple of hours, we will be testing the upgrade of this server to PHP5 and mySQL5. The lifespan of PHP4 and mySQL4 will end this December so we’d like to go ahead and move on to the latest stable versions of PHP and mySQL.

We will be doing some backups again and upgrade the system as we move along. There will be moments when the site might conk out erratically or database errors would pop up so don’t be surprised or too concerned.

Will update this post along the way but hopefully when I do, everything is up and in order.

Just a heads up to everyone.

Hello everyone,

In a couple of hours from now, we will be initiating a transition to the new server we just bought. The new server has the ff. specifications:

Intel Woodcrest 2 X 3.0 GHz Dual Core 5160
4GB or 4,096MB RAM
2 x 750GB Hard Drive
CentOS 4

The transfer will take several hours to half a day as the entire site is close to 25GB in total. During this time, we will be closing the forums so that no new database writes will be made during the migration and content lost during the process.

I will update this post from time to time to send out progress reports.

Thank you!

Update 1:
Started backing up latest copy of files and DBs. MCP is about 15GB even when compressed. Takes hours to backup and copy over to the new server.
