BTW, I found out during this that some people go to x-h2"ZERO".com then get redirected to here, which is the proper address, x-h2"OH".com. Water is 2 parts Hydrogen, 1 part Oxygen, so it's H2O. I have the other domain set to redirect to here.

Guilty as charged...but its not my fault....I swear.

the 'zero' vs 'o' thing could be messing up your server switch if its hard coded some place.

???

x-h20 used to point to an ipowerweb server which automatically forwarded you to x-h2o. x-h2o is on a realwebhost.net server, completely different company. I'm moving it to dreamhost.com.

The problems I'm having are vbulletin related, not DNS related.

I can't get riot either, their server must be down. I help with admining the board, but don't have any control on the server really.

I tried the riot radio link and I could not get there. Not sure if it's the link or my computer.

I can't get on it either, using link or otherwise. X-H2O still kinda screwed up for me too. Obviously I'm on now, hopefully it will keep working.

i get:

"This is the new server, please use the old server until it's ready."
its a vbulletin page and it also has a link that says "X-H2O.com" and it goes to http://www.x-h2o.com/. when i click the link from that page, i get:


"Site Temporarily Unavailable

error id: "bad_httpd_conf" "

This is correct, the new server has x-h20 and I'm working on getting it setup, but everyone will see this message for now.

This is probably just a browser cache issue. Clear your temporary internet files (IE) or cache (Firefox)

Ok, I've got it functional, it was a combination of 2 issues, I just had to have time to disable one thing at a time.

I'll probably switch us over on Wednesday, so if you can't get here, you'll be able to go to x-h20.com (that's a zero this time, not an "oh").

I'll try to do it late at night so the DNS propagates overnight and most people can get on normally in the morning.

When I do it, in the board disabled message I'll put the temporary link also.

We're running on our "other" domain name, x-h20 (with the number zero instead the letter o ). I'll switch the dns for x-h2o to point here tomorrow once I'm satisfied there aren't any problems.

I know the Googlemap isn't working, but if there are other things not working let me know in this thread.

Alright, both domains point to the same place now, and they both work, so I'll probably leave it alone.

I'll get the ads up eventually and the Googlemaps may only work if you access it from x-h2o so I can hard-code that link to make it work for everyone.

Pretty painless, and only took about 1.5 hours, most of which was transferring 1.3Gb of attachments from the old to the new server.

Boy, we've been on dreamhost for just over 12 hours and already experienced our first outage.

Not looking very good so far....

OK, I hate to hear this, but I'm glad it wasn't just me. Thought it too good to be true:frown:
