We are moving the server. It was supposed to take place on Saturday but that never happened. I guess it's taking place today. This was a planned outage.

Ah, I see. Thanks, S^2.

Oh btw, any idea when it'll be back up?

No, sorry. I don't know. I can't even log in to my CCGR e-mail account to ask Cheryl about a time frame. I kept forgetting to ask about this over the weekend, so I don't really have any information.

I believe all data is getting migrated to another computer. So the webiste with PHP, MySQL, and all the data needs to successfully transfer. Once this is done, the new IP address needs to propagate throughout the Internet. What this means is, when you type in CCGR.ORG, there is a lookup done to see what IP address to use for the given URL. The lookup says something like "When someone types in CCGR.ORG, go to IP Address 192.168.0.1." That IP Address needs to get updated with the new address. This lookup table is located on many servers across the entire Internet. The servers are all updated at different times, so you may find some people already accessing the site before you can.

Often times, sites will give out the exact IP address during this migration. This bypasses the lookup and goes directly to the typed in IP address.

I recently saw things take me around 24 hours until I could begin accessing a site after a migration. Other members were accessing the site hours before me.

CCGR is still down. The migration is having hiccups. Just keep trying. I will try and post an update when the site is back up.

we're having trouble with the DNS on the server, it's bad enough that the box was moved but we have a new ip as well, my sever isn't acting like a dns server as it should in the meantime you can access ccgr at http://209.139.209.74
