Hello all, would like to request a hand testing out our web host configuration. We're going to move the site to another host where it will be easier for me to push updates without taking down Lax's awesome empire.
To test the new host Add these 2 lines to your computer's hosts file:
Code:
96.126.118.22 dual-boxing.com
96.126.118.22 www.dual-boxing.com
You will need to open your hosts file as a text file, likely from a elevated privileged application (Run as admin / sudo).
Not sure where your hosts file is?
Windows:
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Mac / Linux:
Once you have made this change and saved the file, you should be able to open a command line console and run:
Code:
ping dual-boxing.com
You should see the IP that is returned is "96.126.118.22"
When you're done testing and want to revert changes to your hosts file, simple remove the two lines you added before:
Code:
96.126.118.22 dual-boxing.com
96.126.118.22 www.dual-boxing.com
Testing
Now simply browse the site as you normally would. You may notice it is a bit slower, this is because it's still using the live database. The lag you see won't be there once we migrate the database over as well.
The only known issue is the front page Mumble block isn't working. This is because we haven't migrated the mumble server over as well.
If you see any other strange things please post here and let me know what you're seeing, and the theme you're using. (Screenshots also help!)
Thanks!
