As mentioned in my news from September, I have been planning to move AAO to a new server infrastructure for a while.
I planned to do everything during the first half of September, but as you may remember we encountered severe delays when performing the first step on September 13th, and I have lacked time to perform the second step afterwards.
Well, this second step is coming at last.
I've spent the last few days configuring my new server, and it seems ready to receive the awesomeness that is AAO.
I'm planning the transfer for Tuesday November 8th or, if for some reason I don't have time on Tuesday, on Thursday November 10th.
AAO will be disabled while it takes place.
It should hopefully take no more than an hour.
Indeed, the whole site there is ready, and all heavy media files have already been transferred.
I'll only have to transfer the site database (that's the matter of 3 minutes or so) and the trial files (this is likely to take much longer, but probably less than 30 minutes).
Oh, and I should mention that it'll be less frightening than last time : here, the current server will stay online during the operation - it will just nicely display a message mentioning it's disabled, until the new server is ready and takes over.
So you won't even have an opportunity to panic !
