Thwack!!!

Support being kind told me what was wrong and then did not tell me they changed the IP Address of the license to match the server. I then removed that IP because it was an extra and...

DNS seems to be resolving but the license to the server has not fixed itself yet. Even after a number of reboots.

OK it is mostly fixed but DNS has to populate again. I had to remove the extra IP Address it was causing issues.

We should be getting back on track in a few hours.

The extra IP for the main site somehow got picked up my the licensing server as the licensed IP Address. We are working on resolving that issue now. Luckily it was free I might have to remove it just...

I opened a ticket with CWP. We are in standby mode until they contact me.

Everything moving along nicely and then something broke with the server operating system. We seem to have lost our support token. Going to reboot and see fi that fixes it.

It is running but now to fix all of the permissions. Let me put the first pot of coffee on and then I will get right on that.

This part is done there is still a number of tasks to do. Standby while I do the Media Import.

That part went faster than I expected. It is finalizing now.

Now the database is importing. This takes a few hours to complete.

Files are done copying and now we install the software.

Now the attachments start to copy.

216,000+ files

Once that is done I can run the script to import the new forums.

Images now copied off about 5,000 files in that folder.

Now coping the images to the new server.

We only just finished coping the attachment files off to my computer.

Now we copy the images folder

Once that is done we copy all of that to the new server.

Hours of coping left to go.

Only 146,388 attachment files to transfer...

Luckily I have been updating the list for days. There will probably only be a few files that need transferred. Unfortunately it has to process all of...

Now uploading the database. This is where my slow internet bites me.

Downloads work as planned

DNS should be resolving to the new server for...

OK just arrived home a short while ago and time for the big dance.

Post a screenshot of what you are seeing or not seeing.

That is what I use. On all my PC. I buy the 3 year license and forget about it. I just let it do its job.

Yes support ends but the system will still run. You can install a good anti virus with firewall and you should be good till it dies.

Right by the weekend I should have a document together to show how to do it. We will post a thread looking for volunteers.

The announcement has been posted. Time to get things in High Gear.....

Well I still need the host to install our second IP Address. That should get done tomorrow.

Forum permissions were way off when Imported the database. The sub forums work for me. There must still be something wrong with your permissions if you can't get to them. Unfortunately that isn't...
