[NOTICE] Server Downtime (Upgrades) 6/2/2010

[Ramsey]

Our server in Chicago has reached the end of it's life and will be upgraded tonight at 7PM EST. The upgrade will have no net change on our current operational costs. Our chicago server hosts the account database, web server, JIRA, and Confluence. This mean's you will not be able to login to the Test Center. You can expect all SWGEmu services to be down for most of the night. A few of us will stay up tonight to get everything setup. I will post status updates at http://swgemu.org

With the upgraded server, you should notice a much more responsive browsing experience with lighttpd (Apache is a resource hog). We will also have room to transition to more up-to-date technologies in the coming weeks (LDAP, Perforce, a responsive ITC) - all of which are geared for internal changes and development this summer.

For those that care,

Current Server specs:
Core2Duo E6550, 2GB of RAM, 400GB HDD
Debian Lenny 32 bit

New server:
Intel core2duo 8400, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD
Debian Lenny 64bit
