And we're here...

[I-S]

The move is done, and we seem to be up and running... everyone here?

More announcements to come...

 

[lordsummit]

Yep made it through to the other side. Got to say I'm impressed with the short time it took. Feel a bit like Arthur Dent. I didn't get my beer and peanuts in time

 

[michaelab]

Yep - the redirect from zerogain.com seems to be working fine aswell . I'm off to demote myself from Administrator to mere Moderator

Michael.

 

[penance]

nice one

 

[michaelab]

Looks like the "standard" smilies have become the default vBulletin3 ones instead of the old vBulletin2 ones....anyone mind the new ones?

Hmmm... not sure it can be considered Zerogain without the huge smily collection...

 

[Slaphead]

Cool. Be prepared for an influx of username/password requests from people who used the "remember me" feature. I had to think about my password for a bit.

Oh and many thanks to Michael for providing me with one of my favourite lurking places on the net for the last year and a half (I missed the original thread about the move) and to Isaac for keeping it going. Nice one guys.

The big smilie collection is still there, it's just the 10 or so "standard" ones (the first few in the list) that got substituted with the vB3 ones.

Re. password requests that should all be handled by the forum software automatically.

Michael.

 

[penance]

Yes, thankyou to Michael for starting ZG and making it what it is, and thankyou to Isaac and co for carrying it on

 

[I-S]

Right, normal service has been resumed wrt smileys... please point out any other issues if you find them!

 

[sideshowbob]

Two issues:

My bookmark was pointing to:

http://www.zerogain.com/forum/index.php

Which just gives a 404. If I navigate instead to www.zerogain.com, I get to the forum, but I can't log in unless I visit www.enscape.net/zerogain. The log-in works, but immediately forgets who I am, I suspect a cookie problem (probably something to do with not being able to read a zerogain.com cookie from the enscape.net domain).

Otherwise, so far so good.

Strange - I added a .htaccess file in the /forum directory at zerogain.com which reads:

ErrorDocument 404 /forum/index.html

...that should mean you get the placeholder/redirect page instead of a 404 error. It works for me (with Firefox) if I try to navigate to any URL below /forum.

The other one sounds like a cookie issue allthough strangely I haven't had a problem (also Firefox) since the new cookie should be associated with enscape.net rather than zerogain.com.

Michael.

 

[sideshowbob]

Cookies are now working from www.zerogain.com. I still get a 404 with www.zerogain.com/forum or www.zerogain.com/forum/index.php, but I notice both www.zerogain.com and www.enscape.net resolve to the same IP, so in my case at least your .htaccess file is never getting read since I'm not hitting your server. Presumably Isaac can sort this easily enough with a redirect at his end.

[michaelab]

Ah I see. I changed the DNS for zerogain.com to point to the enscape server and this has obviously taken effect for you very quickly. It hasn't taken effect for me yet. I believe Mark Telkman (one of the enScape guys) is looking into adding a similar .htaccess redirect on the enscape servers.

Michael.

 

[Sir Galahad]

I got a 404 at the first attempt. It worked fine the second time around. Congrats to all

I'll introduce myself when I get a chance - shortly after we got started on moving zerogain, a client needed their CMS and site moving and reconfiguring, so I've been a bit on the busy side

Sideshowbob, you seem to have answered all your own questions/problems - with your DNS updating so quickly, it seems you found all the problems more quickly than we could fix them - the main one being getting cookies to work with www.zerogain.com and www.enscape.net/zerogain/ at the same time, which should hopefully done.

Hopefully everything you mentioned should have been fixed...

If anyone has any issues, feel free to get in contact with me via [email protected] or on the forums.

 

[sideshowbob]

Yep, all working fine now. Cheers.

[Dexter]

Perhaps the most seamless and bloodless transition in recent memory...almost as if it never happened!

Great job, guys!
