Looks like the DNS change has started to roll out - I can now access the new server at www.rx8club.com.

View Full Version : The DNS has rolled eccles 10-10-2003, 02:11 PM Looks like the DNS change has started to roll out - I can now access the new server at www.rx8club.com. RX-Nut 10-10-2003, 02:19 PM What is the official DNS name for this forum? eccles 10-10-2003, 02:26 PM Originally posted by RX-Nut What is the official DNS name for this forum? Some time ago, the admins were encouraging us to use rx8club.com, in line with the other side of the server which is rx7club.com. BOOSTD 7 10-10-2003, 05:29 PM I'm going to setup an .htaccess so that all the rx8 domains will redirect to rx8club.com ... So yes, that's our official domain name. mikeb 10-10-2003, 05:32 PM is that affective now---rx8club.com spdspappy 10-10-2003, 05:38 PM It's still not working for me. I'm still hitting the change over message... 8_wannabe 10-10-2003, 05:43 PM Yee-haww... ridin' the new domain. What a trip! Works great, you just have to relog in. Hopefully y'all remember your passwords. mikeb 10-10-2003, 06:02 PM me too thank god I remembered mine syntrix 10-10-2003, 07:02 PM If mod_rewrite is enabled in apache, just add this: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.rx8club\.com [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$ [NC] RewriteRule .*\.(html|htm|php|cgi|pl|jsp)$ http://www.rx8club.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L] Of course it's not php. BOOSTD 7 10-10-2003, 10:20 PM syntrix, PM'd you. mod_rewrite is the right way to do it ... but it's like Greek to me for some reason. If you could help I'd be very thankful! DNS is still wreeking havoc. Some domains are transferred, some aren't. It's hit and miss right now. By Monday it should all be settled down. VividRacing.com 10-11-2003, 01:16 AM Nice job on the new servers, boosted7.:) spdspappy 10-11-2003, 07:33 AM BTW: It's working for me this morning. Ok... I just tried to submit this message and it gave me a nice little error... It said that the administrators won't allow more than one message from a user in 30 seconds. I can see this for spam purposes, but 30 seconds is a little too long, isn't it? syntrix 10-11-2003, 07:47 AM I was seeing earlier that it was 30 seconds from each warning message! So if you get impatient, you have to wait 30 seconds each time. Some boards are higher than that, up to 2 mins. 30 secs is just fine! spdspappy 10-11-2003, 07:53 AM Was that rule in place before the server change? If it was, I guess I never hit 2 messages in a row that fast... inittab 10-11-2003, 07:59 AM Originally posted by BOOSTD 7 DNS is still wreeking havoc. Some domains are transferred, some aren't. It's hit and miss right now. By Monday it should all be settled down. It's too bad your DNS "admin" didn't plan out the zone's ahead of time. A quick modification of the ttl's before hand and you could have switched ALL the DNS within a minute. Yes one minute! It still surprises me how many DNS "admins" just don't understand this simple principle. The title "admin" is used VERY loosely nowadays. mikeb 10-11-2003, 10:43 PM first rx8forum then rx-8forum now rx8club syntrix 10-11-2003, 10:54 PM Yeah, a faster TTL will help replicate much faster ;) Good to see that the mod_rewrite is working! inittab 10-12-2003, 07:02 AM Originally posted by syntrix Yeah, a faster TTL will help replicate much faster ;) A little before-hand prep is all that's needed. A low ttl will put extra load on the primary dns servers during the transition period but makes for a seamless cut-over. Unfortunately most customers never tell me ahead of time. :( It kills me when customers ask me to update their zones then complain that it takes so long to propogate. I'm like..... "sorry Charlie, I wish I knew you wanted to do this three days ago, there's nothing I can do for ya now" Originally posted by syntrix Good to see that the mod_rewrite is working! Yeah. So what was the final rule? I threw something together that worked but I'm not positive that it's the most effective or efficient. |
