to fix some long-standing problems, the springrts.com server and the services assoicated with it (lobby.springrts.com / packages.springrts.com / buildbot.springrts.com / etc.etc.) will move to a new server.
these are some of the problems that will be fixed:
- "random" hangs of server
- directory listing is czech in springrts.com/dl/
- many dead/inactive accounts on the server ( -> improve security!)
- get rid of the private stuff which is running on the old server (-> simplify backup / future migrations / permissions)
- get rid of unused stuff (installed software / data / ...)
the currently planned date to change dns entries is 5.11 - 7.11.2014.
The os will be updated to Ubuntu 14.04. Because of this, it could take a bit until all services are working again.
The new server will have the ip 78.46.100.157.
http://test.springrts.com is already pointing to the new ip! all changes there will be overwritten when the migration is made.
to fully test, atm you have to edit /etc/hosts and add the needed dns entries!
if i missed some users/permissions, please poke me!
(forum of springrts.com & test.springrts.com seems to conflict with cookies, so don't get confused :)

Hint: add a maintenance file on the old server and redirect all traffic to it after DNS change to alert users who have DNS cached.

"enable proxy for http server"
but yes, maybe the hint is better. proxy could lead to some weird problems.
