OK, now that I seem to have a handle on what's going on with the "cloud", here's my proposed set of steps for the cutover tonight:
- At 11 PM CDT (12 AM EDT, 10 PM Mountain, 9 PM Pacific), the front page of beta.drivewesaid.com will be changed to an outage status page.
- The data will be collected from our old server's database. The code and ancillary files will have already been copied and tested.
- The data will be uploaded to the new server.
- The big switch in the sky will then be flipped if all goes well, and drivewesaid.com will point to the new server.
Also, beta.drivewesaid.com links will auto bounce to drivewesaid.com. The days of us being a "beta" site are no more.
If all goes well, we'll be back live by midnight CDT. If problems occur, please see this blog for details.
