Subject: [IMPORTANT] RootsWeb Upgrading to New
Message-ID: <3D06ADC1.20956.BE32B36@localhost>
Beginning Monday, 10 June 2002, RootsWeb will begin
the complex and time-consuming process of upgrading
our servers to new hardware.
o What does this mean for you? Well, it means
some servers will be unavailable during this time
unavailable and we are asking for your patience.
For up-to-date information about the different
sources, you can visit
http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/
as the move progresses.
o List Administrators: When the time comes to
move list servers, we will be halting operation on the
machine to complete the move.
We expect to have the machines down the least
amount of time possible. No mail will be sent from or
posted to your mailing lists. We do not expect to lose
any messages.
o Board Administrators: Nothing, unless your
board happens to be gatewayed to a mailing list then
the information for list administrators apply.
o Web Pages: FTP will be down so that changes
can't be made to pages until everything is working
correctly on the new servers.
There will be a short time that the pages will not
be available as the transfer takes place.
Thank you for your patience and understanding while we
go through a few "growing pains."
