Server Issues

[SorsCode]

Everyone,

Tonight I started to notice alot of CRC errors on my Cisco Switch. After some quick investigating its on the port that this WebSite's WebServer is sitting on. I have moved it to another port with no fix on the CRC errors. So after some testing and troubleshooting I have come to the conclusion the Network Card in the WebServer is going bad. So for the next few days the site may run a little slow. I apologize for this. I was planning on replacing the WebServer with a new Server which I already have. So Starting tomorrow 7/10/2009 I will start preping that Server to replace the current one.

Benifits:
Large Storage Volume so I can allow larger quality pictures to be posted.
No more need to Archive all the logs ever 30 days and move them to a BackUp Server
SPEED!


For the Geeks.

Current Server config is a Dual Intel Celeron 500MHz (yes MHz) System with only 768Meg of Ram and 18 gigs of Storage.
New Server config is Dual Intel XEON 3.0GHz System with 8GB's of RAM, Little over 300Gigs of Storage on RAID 5 and 2 500GIG Back Drives running RAID 1.

So the site will no longer have the buffer and speed issues any longer and user limitations. Old server after 5-10 people it would almost bring it down to its knees. It has been a great machine and has hosted my website now for 8 Years.

I will do my best to get everything moved over and not lose any of the forum.

We are now on the new server.. Talk about rushing and putting the server together quickly. Now that its up and running its time for me to start updating the site and making some changes to this boring site. If you find anything not working correctly on the forums or the site please email me or make a post in the general discussion board and I will get them fixed.

Thanks Everyone!
