[ANNOUNCEMENT] THN - Server upgrades and downtime.

[Brammers]

Over the Easter weekend, there will be some upgrades to the THN server software.

The THN will be moving over from PHP4 to PHP5 for the follow websites.

http://forum.techhaven.org/ - Updating on Saturday 7th April - 10:00BST to 17:00BST
http://www.techhaven.org/ - Updating on Sunday 8th April - 10:00BST to 17:00BST

The Rares Database will remain on PHP4 until the 2.0 release is done.

During the updates, the IP of the websites will change slightly, meaning you may not reach the new websites until your ISP gets the new IP's from the DNS records.

The PHP5 upgrades will make life a bit easier on coding new extensions to things like the Items DB and the Rares DB.

I apologise for any convenience caused in advance.

Fair enuf, and i will take this time to thank mr brammers and all the other THN team for such a great website.

See i can be nice sometimes :angel:

[ashley watts]

yup its a very kool website :cool:

[Brammers]

He he, thanks guys. When did I say you was evil silent000? :p

Ok the upgrades are complete - http://www.techhaven.org was done ahead of schedule, due to me discovering a minor bug in the Item DB editor last night, and the updated code isn't PHP4 compatible.

So that means no downtime on Sunday, :cool:

Keep in mind the DNS updates will take a few hours to filter down to your ISP, so you may get a totally different webpage.

Any bugs with the THN please post them here.
