Thumbs up Welcome to our new UK server

OK we are back up. The DNS change went smoothly, but I was hit by a bug in the new version of SQL which meant that my database users could not be assigned to the database. I eventually got fed up of looking for the fix and did it all manually.

I have some work to do on here with file permissions. There are masses of them but I do have them written down, so gallery uploads etc may not work for a while.

Other than that, enjoy! Please feedback on speed of access etc as we have moved to the UK and have increased CPU and memory capacity.

Its 3am now, I'm off to bed

Thumbs up Re: Welcome to our new UK server

I first tried to get in by the address, but it didn't 'know' me, when I tried to login it replied that in order to POST the server had to added to the white list. It also gave me a 404 for the forum. but then the name got resolved and everything was as per.

Much faster, a slight delay toward the end of page load, might be counter or 'stats' calc.

Re: Welcome to our new UK server

Noticed nothing different no log in required, all good. Problems with speed seemed to have gone.
