Server Upgrades + Hurricane Alert

Post by ant_8490 » Wed Oct 24, 2012 7:54 am

During the past week and a half or so, i have dedicated a lot of time to working with Linux. This was to prepare for the switch to Linux on the C/B & Minecraft server. When the move is completed, it will have 5GB ram and should run everything a lot smoother just as it did for Deathrun.

I've tested out everything that would be running on Linux to make sure it will all work. This includes SRCDS (cheat/build) with all plugins (SM, Eventscripts, SourceOP, autobuild script converters, etc), Minecraft, TeamSpeak3, and our mail server. Everything ran fine on my test server, so I think we are ready to proceed with these changes on the real server.

Most likely this change will happen on Friday (Oct. 26) in the afternoon/night. Expect those servers to be offline for a bit as set everything back up.

After everything is complete, that will mean all Area 51 Servers will be running on Linux!

Nick's Announcements:
=================================================================
Please know that there is an incoming hurricane "Sandy" that will pretty much hit right on us. So, if anything shall happen, the server may be off due to a power outage in the local area. To an extent that the power shall be off for more than 2 hours, we will using our generator again to power the servers. The hurricane looks like it will be in our area beginning of next week.

Keep in mind that what i say is not static, it is dynamic.
Years, months, weeks, and days after i say something, i can say the opposite.

Ant has finally got the teamspeak server to work. It should be back on gametracker soon.

Since I was having trouble in linux installing teamspeak, I also tried installing a ventrilo server which it works. So we are going to use the ventrilo as a backup/another voice server.

Teamspeak IP: www.area51cheatserver.com:9988
Ventrilo IP: 96.9.163.36:3784
