[website] server change on 05. Nov, expect an outage!
[website] server change on 05. Nov, expect an outage!
short version: when sth. doesn't work on 5. Nov, please try again later!
long version:
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 (hopefully) 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 / migrate to the new server is 5.11.2014
The os will be also 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.
Players should just try again at a later time if sth. doesn't work.
game/map/...-devs can contact either "spring at abma dot de" or join the irc-channel:
http://springrts.com/wiki/IRC
(ideally store this post locally so you have it when you need it! :)

Re: [website] server change on 05. Nov, expect an outage!
Current plan is to change dns settings at 20:00 CET
Re: [website] server change on 05. Nov, expect an outage!
Maybe start using UTC time here as well to be fair to the yankees.
Re: [website] server change on 05. Nov, expect an outage!
This means lobby will be down for a bit?
Notice in #main topic and on zero-k.info might be good.

yep, lobby will be down. i'll try to send a broadcast message at lobbyserver. a lot of steps has to be done and a lot can fail... lets see how it will work.
Re: [website] server change on 05. Nov, expect an outage!
Is there an outage, the server is being strange....
Re: [website] server change on 05. Nov, expect an outage!
In springrts.com/dl/ is many old files. Looking around is like Indiana Jones, many interessting old things can be found.- get rid of unused stuff (installed software / data / ...)
Like some early spring videos:
http://springrts.com/dl/video0.avi
http://springrts.com/dl/video10v2.avi
(maybe the first videos ever?)
(even found one video by myself that I thought lost http://springrts.com/dl/oldcrap/files/7/checkmate.wmv )
and various other stuff made by community:
http://springrts.com/dl/oldcrap/files/7/peewee_rush.mp3 (song with spring sounds)
or http://springrts.com/dl/oldcrap/files/7/jump_0002.wmv (jumping commander)
Is this folder being cleaned out? In a way it is all old crap but other hand it is very interessting to see so old videos and pictures, some of them are not even on youtube or elsewhere because they are from so early time...So might be nice to keep it.

Re: [website] server change on 05. Nov, expect an outage!
It's up and running again?
Re: [website] server change on 05. Nov, expect an outage!
yep, when you can read this you are using the new server
Re: [website] server change on 05. Nov, expect an outage!
Nice to have forums up, would be even nicer to be able to play:
[22:22:41] Connecting to taspringmaster.clan-sy.com ...
[22:22:41] Connection established to taspringmaster.clan-sy.com
[22:22:41] Error: Server sent ambiguous command! [#0]
[22:22:41] Ambiguous command : REDIRECT 78.46.100.157 8200
TASClient it is. Someone said SpringLobby can connect to server. Is this a part of the Lobby Wars?

Re: [website] server change on 05. Nov, expect an outage!
TASCLient seem to be the only lobby which uses "taspringmaster.clan-sy.com" as lobby server. change to lobby.springrts.com (all other spring lobby clients use this) and it should work fine.
Re: [website] server change on 05. Nov, expect an outage!
Changing to lobby.springrts.com didn't help but changing to 78.46.100.157 helped.abma wrote:TASCLient seem to be the only lobby which uses "taspringmaster.clan-sy.com" as lobby server. change to lobby.springrts.com (all other spring lobby clients use this) and it should work fine.
Maybe there is a : missing before port? Or TASC doesnt't get redirect command.

Re: [website] server change on 05. Nov, expect an outage!
the old ip for lobby.springrts.com is very likely cached. in ~1 hour lobby.springrts.com should work.Hermuld wrote:Changing to lobby.springrts.com didn't help but changing to 78.46.100.157 helped.

Re: [website] server change on 05. Nov, expect an outage!
Melbot, SLRelayMaster & TasClient seems to use wrong dns name / hardcoded ip. i don't know contact details for the owners, would be great if they could fix this/or someone contact them.
also i've disabled the lobby redirect on the old server as TTL for dns is 4 hours and dns change was >4 hours. this way we see errors instantly and not when the old server is gone.
(lobby.springrts.com was announced ~3 years ago: http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=26623)

Everyone on the irc bridge is German. Deutschland für alle!
<---- edit: and my monkey has vanished! There are more monkeys where that one came from.
And thank you for getting the new server up and running.

Re: [website] server change on 05. Nov, expect an outage!
Judging from my own limited experience, switching servers with several services running is not what I would call fun work. So...
Big thanks for this effort also from me!
