Server Upgrade #3

Posted on December 30, 2024 by SilentGround.org

Of course nothing much went according to plan. The PHP configuration remains broken on the new server, hence why the site is throwing a bunch of errors at all our users. There is little to do about it in its current state, so we will be issuing an emergency fix tomorrow on December 31st.

Without any specific time window for you, we will take down the site in about 10-12 hours from writing this post. From there we will re-deploy the forum to a cloud node, which we have prepared.

This node will be capable enough at running the forum, while we work on the PHP errors of the new server. We will continue to run SG from the cloud until we have a working alternative.

We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by all this PHP nonsense. It was an emergency move, due to cPanel changing policies and not supporting out old server anymore. Unfortunately, things go wrong when you rush. On the bright side, we are not known for downtime, so it was bound to happen at some point.

    The forum is scheduled to be taken offline tomorrow at 5 AM (GMT) / 12 AM (EST). The downtime will most likely be in the 2-3 hours range overall if nothing major is happening. Of course we can’t foresee the unexpected, but hopefully everything will be alright. You can keep an eye on this site, […]
