Thread: New Servers - Read Me

Please Read This Very Carefully

Today we added two brand new super fast servers to our network and possibly
moved your website to one of them. You have been moved to the new servers
if your previous IP's Where betwen 69.93.158.68 to 69.93.158.88.

As of now..Your new IP’s are the ones below.

ns1.vodahost.com >> 70.86.30.66
ns2.vodahost.com >> 70.86.30.67

http://70.86.30.66/cpanel is your new control panel login

ftp://70.86.30.66 is your new FTP address

Your username and password HAVE NOT changed

You will also need to download a new updated BlueVoda form the below URL.
Your current BlueVoda WILL NOT WORK on the new servers.

http://www.vodahost.com/vodatalk/showthread.php?t=752

All previous IP’s bettwen 69.93.158.68 to 69.93.158.988.are now invalid. Please
do not try to use them for publishing.

The only transitional issues you may see are the following:

[1] E-mail address or mail filters did not move properly over.
- Solution: Login to control panel and re-create them.

[2] Domain add-ons did not move over
- Solution: Login to control panel and re-create them.

[3] MySQL database missing tables
- Solution: Open a ticket with your domain name, username and password.

[4] Domain name may appear down.
- Solution: Remove old temp files and reboot your computer

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please address all issues dealing with the move in this thread.

Thank you in advance.

*****

PS. We did send you an email with advance notification of the change. If you did
not receive it. Please check your spam or bulk mail folders and add VodaHost to
your accepted senders list.

Everything appears to have moved without a hitch. The only problem is the DNS resolution still resolves to old IP ( and its still available ) . When will this issue be resolved as it is a mind bender when trying to work on sites based on old IP.

Everything seem find, apart from fantastico, is saying all the programs installed require updates, which can only be completed manualy.

Christobal - Please give IP's 24 hours to resolve properly
Maddog- Will fix

Thanks guys

*****,

Republished this morning, however changes not taking effect, have clean cach files etc and did what Pablo said, still no change to main page

also get following in my email box

Cron <easttilb@voda2> lynx -dump 'http://easttilburyinfantschool.com/maillist/admin/index.php?page=processqueue&login=easttilb&passwor d=6yg7' > /dev/null

/bin/sh: line 1: /usr/bin/lynx: Permission denied

upto about 100 now

There seems to be files missing from cplanel i.e. box trap etc

Changes not taking effect has nothing to do with the server migration. Its
the same old problem of your (home/office) computer caching.

Will fix email flooding issue

Oh ratbags!! Just when I had the hang of it!!! Stuck now. Why did you have to go out and buy two new servers? Only joking - I'm sure they're very pretty!
I've downloaded the new Bluevoda. I've changed my DNS servers. (I've even uninstalled and reinstalled my FTP software but - when I try to connect with the new server I get a message which says "Address lookup of ftp://70.86.30.66 failed." I'm sure it's a simple problem (like me, obviously!) but..............help!!!

Forget it - I'm a simpleton! I always solve things the minute I write to you!! But.........thanks for being there!!

Got your email.
Don't understand any of it, but I think that if I've got the wrong numbers I have to reload bluevoda/Vodahost?
How do I check my previous IP numbers?

Corn - Corn, Corn, Corn --You are one of my favorite customers. Always posting
a problem and then figuring it out 3 minutes later. Its actually a bit funny.

Goffshirtsrus - Just down load the new BlueVoda from the above link and don't worry
about the rest.

Hi *****,

How do i go about using the new ip's. Where do i change them? The new BlueVoda i have downloaded as you stated still has the old ips when i go to publish.

Probably very simple but your urgent help would be much appreciated on this.

NCF

The new BlueVoda has the new IP's in it. If you do not know what to do with the IP's this means you never used them in the first place. (Good Thing) In a nutshell. You
have nothing to worry about.

Yeeehaaa, thanks *****.

Geezzz. I love it. Get a call 11:30 today, someone freaking out because they can't upload their league standings to the web. Normally, this wouldn't have been a problem, but Thirsty Thursday got the better of me last night, and 11:30 was too early. But anyway, to make a long story short, this little transfer did a couple of things to my site, and ftp accounts. My ftp account for league standings was pointing to --> /home/expo3/publc_html/updates instead of the new /home2/. Next was with my message forums. Didn't really mess with them too bad, they just didn't have a valid Theme directory to go to, so they weren't working right. Again with the /home2/ issue. All is well though.... Thanks...

I hate to criticise you guys as you do a great job, but it would have been nice to have had an email warning of the change.

There I was last night making some quick changes to the site, not noticing the new pages weren't uploading (message said as normal 'successfully published'. It was only when I had a bit of spare time this am that I looked at the forum, and then when I checked the site and found the changes hadn't updated it clicked!

I don't always have time to check the forum - so an email warning would have been good.

Cheers

Hi *****, as i said below, i have downloaded the new BlueVoda which has overite any previous, BUT my pages are still not publishing...WHY??? The old server numbers are still in the box when i click the publish button?

Urgent help required?

NCF - I do not know what to say to you. As of me writing this. This thread has had over 500 visits. And Over 500 new BlueVoda downloads with the new IP's and you are
the only person experiencing this particular problem.

hmmm...very strange. Try installing the new verion over the old version and rebooting. If that does not work...Unisntall the old version and install the new version in its place.

If that does not work....open as support ticket

I did it again using the winzip version and it worked OK. Thanks

Fantastic!

Thanks

Basically what this is, on the old server, if you were using any of these or had them installed, they are now out of date. The new ones on the new server are the latest versions and this is why fantastico says that yours are out of date.

been to 2 sites to find up grades, however the ones running are the same?

This is what ***** said Sarah

There are no updates, don't worry about it, you have the latest versions, fantastico is still just a bit confused from the server change!

oh ok that make 2 of us...then again I am always confused.....

Without your guys leading to the light I would be lost
:)
