Title: Server Maintenence 17/11/2013
Post by: CutmanMike on November 17, 2013, 04:12:15 AM
Cutstuff will be undergoing a server migration tomorrow. I wanted to do it today and get it out the way quickly but it seems it's going to take longer than expected. I don't have a defininive time yet but will post updates in this thread or on my twitter account.

We've officially moved! There's probably going to be a lot of issues remaining though, give us some time. Post any problems you have in here in case I miss some.

Oh hey, it's presumably one of Mike's friends.


Hello, and thanks for helping to moving the servers over!

I still had to change my bookmarks. The old one lead me to a note that servers were changing.

Yeah, same here, except I just got a 404 message.

404s will likely happen from time to time for the next twelve hours or so. Sorry about that.

I'm assuming not (I block ads anyway)

But, given Mike's reaction, I'd assume you have some infection or something on your machine.  Here's my suggestions:

1.) Get an Ad Blocker - http://www.adblockplus.org (works with most major browsers)
2.) Rid your machine of adware - http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/
3.) If 1. and 2. don't resolve your problems.  Rid your machine of Spyware. - http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/combofix/

Hopefully ya won't have to do 3, but 1 and 2 are wonderful options for stripping out the crap.  Oh, also, Combofix is a program that can be flagged as a virus, it's not, but some vendors false positive it.

Actually it turned out that there's something wrong with my profile on my laptop. I was getting the same type of ads on all my browsers on every website. Gmail even refused to load on one of them. I'm probably gonna have to do some kind of virus scan on there next chance I get, 'cause it wasn't doing that before.

In short, false alarm. This place is clean.

I haven't had a 404 pop up since this morning, seems like we're all clear?

There are at least a couple people still getting the 404.


EDIT: Literally said "still" twice.

Any errors relating to the dns changes should have resolved themselves by now. I'll be keeping an eye on the logs for a while to track down any other problems.

I was having issues (Migrating message only until early today, at which point the site would not load at all) on College Brand Internet (R) (after cache cleanup and dns flush on Chrome and FF) up until a few hours ago, but it seems to have resolved itself now.

The longer than normal delay for a dns change was due to an error on my part as we were migrating; apparently it helps if the domain is actually pointed at the content  :p
