extensive testing there are bound to be some glitches that will need to
be addressed in the coming hours and days.
If you find anything to be amiss please let us know immediately with an email to
newserver -AT- henry.wny.org (replace -AT- with @ in your email software) and
include the URL to the problem page so we can work on it.
Thank you for your patience!

New Hosting Server Update
As with many complicated things the new hosting server is taking a little longer than
we had hoped to bring online. We have done several dry runs of the of the server
cut-over, which identified a number of areas that required attention. We also decided to add
an additional network interface. The first card we tried would not play well with the hardware
and prevented the server from even POSTing. A second network card was "borrowed" from a
working backup server and it is performing normally. The cur-over procedure has been refined
and debugged several times. Hopefully we will be able to put the new server into production
after a little more testing and tweaking.

New Hosting Server Coming Online Soon!
The main Railfan.net server will be replaced in the near future. It has been built
and is undergoing testing and fine tuning before being put into production. It is a
much more robust, secure and upgradeable platform and should provide more reliability
and processing speed for customer sites.
