Data Centre Move

[Carnivean]

Hey everyone.

On 18 September the servers used to host AusBowl are being moved to a new data centre. This will start at 5pm Pacific Time and be offline for about 4 hours.

Just as a quick check shows that as about 10am on the 19th Sydney time

Thanks

They say the world is ending.

That don't really matter to us, baby.
Our love has been so perfect since the day you passed away.
Your heart is cold when it's in my hand.
Is it wrong to love you, Mary Anne?

Just as an update, the outage was not related to this. Looks like there may have been an exploit targeted on our server/site.

I hopefully have addressed the providers concerns and it doesn't happen again but I have already had to do more work. Basically we are using too much of the hosts resources.

There is also a PHP upgrade this week 7th Sep US time which ma result in an outage but protect us from other issues.

Looking forward to being all in the clear soon!

Good news with other issues, host has closed the issue. Took about a week of mucking around but we got there.

Thanks for your patience.

There will still be a php upgrade on the 7th and the original datacentre move coming up.

This is coming up quickly now. Estimated outage is 4 hours
