2/17/07 - cpanel09b upgrade

[AndrewT]

ATTN ALL customers located on cpanel09b, please read and understand this entire thread thoroughly.

Beginning on February 17th, cpanel09b will be upgraded to our new platform. More information on this can be found here: http://forums.dathorn.com/showthread.php?t=2094

Instead of being on cpanel09b, users will now be on cpanel58.

Server: cpanel58.gzo.com - 75.126.144.66
DNS #1: dns115.gzo.com - 75.126.144.66
DNS #2: dns116.gzo.com - 75.126.145.176

IMPORTANT
Anyone that has custom nameservers or that has used the cpanel09b DNS IP addresses (64.5.58.192 and 64.5.58.193) for anything will need to update their entries to the new nameservers and IPs listed above.

To avoid all possible downtime on your domains, do not make any DNS changes until we have confirmed here in the forums that the cpanel09b account transfers have been completed.

Those that are using the cpanel09b gzo.com nameservers (dns17/dns18) without IPs, do not need to change anything. They will be updated to the new IPs automatically.

Beginning on February 17th, we also advise all users to disable anything involving MySQL updates (order forms, forums, CMS, etc.) until it is running on the new servers. This will avoid updates being lost during the transfer and ending up with a database that is a few hours old. If this is not an option, you can leave everything active, cpanel09b will still be online for a few days following the upgrade. But you will be responsible for transfering any database updates that might be needed.

Once again, if you have any questions or comments, please post in the forum thread that is linked above.

To proceed with this upgrade WHM (reseller) access has been disabled on cpanel09b.

All cpanel09b customers should now be able to login to WHM on cpanel58 with the same login information as they used for cpanel09b. Please do not do anything with this yet, however, as the domain accounts have not been transfered yet.

If you login to the customer control panel and view your welcome e-mail, it should now list cpanel58 as your server.

We've just started transfering accounts from cpanel09b to cpanel58 and I will update this thread throughout the process.

[AndrewT]

Accounts are still being transfered. We should have this upgrade completed by sometime tomorrow afternoon.

[AndrewT]

The transfers are coming along quite well. We still hope to have this completed by sometime this afternoon or early this evening.

[AndrewT]

We've just got a few more accounts left to transfer and then we need to finalize some settings before this will be complete. I assure you that it will be finished tonight.

[AndrewT]

All accounts have now been transfered. You should now change your DNS/nameservers to the new cpanel58 nameservers if necessary.

You may need to re-install SSL certificates on the new server (cpanel58). If you purchased one from us simply submit a ticket and we can re-install it for you.

Also, if your scripts require PHP's register_globals to be enabled, you will need to create a php.ini file in the exact directory of the script that requires the setting with the following line in it:

register_globals = On

If you encounter any further problems, please submit a trouble ticket.

HTTP on cpanel09b will be disabled on Friday (2/23/06). Please be sure that all DNS updates are made prior to that.

[AndrewT]

HTTP has been disabled on cpanel09b. cpanel09b will be taken offline entirely on Wednesday, February 28th.

cpanel09b has now been taken offline entirely.
