Subject: RootsWeb Server upgrade and move
Date: Tue, 11 Jun 2002 06:18:36 -0700


> To all-
>
> Over the course of approximately the next two weeks RootsWeb will be
moving
> to newer, faster, bigger, more reliable servers. The move will take place
in
> stages with only a few servers/programs/services being down at any one
time.
> Message boards will not be affected by the move since they are housed on
> Ancestry servers.
>
> Mailing lists will be down, hopefully for no longer than a day, when list
> servers reach their turn to be moved and updated. This will probably
occur
> some time next week. For up-to-date information as to which servers
are/will
> be down at any given time during the move consult the RootsWeb HelpDesk
page:
> http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/ The HelpDesk will be the last to be moved
so
> that it can be kept up and running to inform you about the schedule as the
> move progresses.
>
> It is expected that all messages sent to the list during the move will
> eventually be sent through but may be queued until the mail servers are
> updated. If you send a message to the list and don't see your message
coming
> through immediately, or if you don't receive any list mail for a period of
> time, you can probably assume that the delay is move-related.
>
> Please don't write to the list and ask about the move or about whether the
> list is down. Any such inquiries should be directed to the HelpDesk.
> Remember to check the main HelpDesk page for the status of the move first.
>
> When the move is completed we can expect faster more reliable service.
Thanks
> for your patience.
