Thread: Primary webserver move
Earlier this evening, Marc & I finished moving the primary front end web server to a box in the US. This machine is very lightly loaded, running only 3 VMs, 2 of which are postgresql.org ones. All pages remain built on svr2.postgresql.org, which also processes any interactive pages through it's new hostname, scripts.postgresql.org. If anyone notices any problems, please let us know. Regards, Dave.

My DNS server still has "www.postgresql.org. CNAME svr2.postgresql.org." in its cache and that machine gives 404 for the following images: /images/gif/pgsqlicon2.gif /images/jpg/lily001top.jpg /images/jpg/lily001bottom.jpg Those images do get served up if I hit http://svr2.postgresql.org/ instead of http://www.postgresql.org/. My proxy logs show that both requests go to the same address (200.46.204.209). It looks like the new CNAME record points to svr4.postgresql.org (66.98.251.159). I tried to hit http://svr4.postgresql.org/ and got a redirect to http://www.svr4.postgresql.org, which doesn't exist. It might be useful if that server could be configured to work for http://svr4.postgresql.org/. -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/

But ... we never changed anything on the old server for this, only changed the DNS to point to the new IP ... Am working on it though ... will post a follow up once I figure out what went wrong, since Dave and I both tested from our browsers after the DNS change :( ---- Marc G.

The page I'm seeing is identical to http://www.mirrorservice.org/ except that the images are broken. Possibly a virtual hosting config issue that depended on the old DNS record? -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/
'k, fixed for now ... Dave tested everything before we switch the DNS over, but I think he missed the build script itself ... not 100%, but I just changed DNS back again for tonight, and Robert/I just fixed the build script so that the proper site is building ... the rest I leave for Dave in the morning ...

Err, yes. Sorry, hands up to that one. Was entirely my fault. The build script almost certainly was the problem, the nexttime it ran after the change over it would have tried to build the site from the new server, which is now just a mirror. I've updated it to access the master site as scripts.postgresql.org Regards, Dave

I'll make sure I'm around for a while to test later... DNS now points to svr4: Name: svr4.postgresql.org Address: 66.98.251.159 Aliases: www.postgresql.org And I just changed the cron job on svr4 to point to scripts.postgresql.org as well, instead of www.postgresql.org ... I'm here for another 45 minutes or so ... message me in Yahoo as yscrappy if someone sees a problem that needs to have the DNS changed back in a hurry ... ---- Marc G.
