UUU public webpage maintenance

General

Hi everyone,

Just to let you know that the UUU public webpage at
http://www.unicycle.org.uk/ is being moved to a new
server sometime in the next week or so.

I’m not sure exactly when the move will take place,
but when it happens the site may be unavailable for
about 24 hours whilst the DNS records update.

If you get a page not found error, or see an ISP
‘holding page’, try again the next day. If you
still can’t see the webpages, you might need to do
a Refresh/Reload in your browser.

Hi everyone,

As I announced about a month ago, the UUU public webpage
at http://www.unicycle.org.uk/ is being moved to a new
server.

It has taken longer than expected to do the move, due to
ISP problems, but the move should be taking place over the
next 24 hours.

If you have any problems seeing the website after the move,
please let me know.

NOTE: This also affects the BUC webpages and Mostyn convention
webpages, as they are also hosted within the unicycle.org.uk
domain.

What’s the problem?
If you run the vhost on both servers simultanious nobody will notice your DNS change.

Indeed, but I always err on the side of caution.

Particularly as the move to the new server necessitated
a change to the underlying file structure to allow
appropriate ftp access to different parts of it (Roger
only had 2 unicycling sites on the old server, but I
have 8 or so business sites on mine, so was unwilling to
allow ftp access to the top level like Roger did).

As a result there was a fair bit of configuring URLs to
paths to be done, and I did make one mistake (which I
noticed and correctly within a couple of hours of the DNS
updating at my site).

So all-in-all it went smooth-ish.
