I would presume that 'a new server' means a dedicated, real , live phyical server !

I dunno what SCA drives are - is that the same as Serial ATA ?

But Web Server drives should be SCSI - ATA drives are no good for multi user environments

Server NICs should be multi-homed / teamed.

ISP Service provider should provide load balancing at layer 2 & 3.

Web server should be backed up daily to local tape drive

MySQL database should be shut down (Sau unavailable) during backup windows. ( or hot backup enabled)

Full change control should be implemented.

etc, etc.

Woa, did you just quote me this out of a textbook? :D That's Project Management material sir!

SCA are the 80 pin honda hotswap connectors used on SCSI drives.

There have been a few writeups on ATA/SATA raid configs used in large live environments, given the cost I don't really see the need for SCSI drives anymore... unless you get them at an _extremely_ good price (like free ;)).

Just as a side note, I think that list might be a little old. I know I've sent about 150-200 all up now...

But your right.. More people should donate instead of taking this site for granted.

Prank does a great job, spends a fair wack of time doing it, and get's paid nothing !!

wow - thanks guys!! I really appreciate it!!

Regarding the server, as donations come in quite sporadically, I have opted for a HP P4 2.0Ghz (IDE) 80GB drive and have just upgraded to 1 gig of RAM.. If I get enough donations and more, I will put it on a Dual Xeon server next year with SCSI drives. It is entirely SAU's server with nothing else going on it (apart from 5mb blocks of webspace for donaters) and the physical server is in the US. It should make everything much better and we can upgrade again later if we need to.

Thanks again guys.

Don't wish to sound rude, though u sure the box has been configured properly? With hardware like that (bar the ide drive), it should absolutely scream for just this website.

Im happy to offer any help to get things running better, got a fair bit of experience with it all, though im sure many others are in IT here as well.

On a side note Ill donate in a month or 2 when I have abit more cash :) These forums have provided an endles amount of very handy knowledge.

      Rebuilt Rb25det issues

      By KyoyaR33 · Posted

      Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated

      Well, no. It's an 023, which is pretty similar to an 040. Although it is hard to tell from the specs, as given.

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Hmm. Maybe the (other thing I forgot about!) Haltech removes at least some, if not all, of the problem I described. I guess there is still the possibility of getting it wrong if the AC is set up/wired up for the Haltech as if it was in an R34 (simply because it's on a Neo), and that's playing foul with the R32 AC computer.
