We’re in the process of switching web servers and it will take a while to get everything setup and scheduled properly. Please keep posting the issues I miss and I'll get to them as they come up.

Things that went wrong overnight…

Sessions – Fixed and they will go out as normal tonight.
Shows – Fixed and they are running on schedule again. The issue was that the version I uploaded bypassed certain parts of the show process.

Why did I do this on the weekend?

Because we’re doing all of the sites at once and while this site doesn’t really increase or decrease dramatically during the weekends, our larger sites do. Showdog does not have a day that is significantly larger or smaller traffic than the other sites.

Is the new server slower?

No, we just have to get everything setup properly. Until then, yes, things will seem slower. The pages that are the slowest right now are the pages where things are written to the database, the most common of which is when you login.

Why are we stitching servers?

Our old server was running on version of Windows that have reached end of life. There were extra fees of several hundred dollars a month just to keep running it.

Also, you could not run more than one SSL site on the version of Windows we were on. In the next few days this site will switch over to SSL as well.

How long will the issues last?

I could lie to you and say a certain amount of days but the truth is, I’m not sure how long it will be until everything is optimized on the new setup.

I will be leaving in about 30 minutes and will be back about 1 PM for anything missed. Shows are running as I type this but there are some issues that might stop them from finishing.

Hi Jeff

I appreciate your work here. You have a great game and moving it to a new server is a good move.

However, the amount of time I have to play this game comes in windows of time. Late sessions and slow response times has meant that I have not sessioned many dogs today, and entered none.

When will we see improvements?

Since this seems to be the official place to report problems, I just sponsored a show today, but the show isn't on the schedule and I still have my money. I tried a second time to sponsor a show, but it says the name is taken.

Sessions - Looks like SQL Jobs was not started on the new server, it is now. Sessions have been granted and should work going forward now.

Site Speed - A lot more ambiguous, basically only priority for the rest of today.

You're going to see some times in the upper left portion of the site for a little while.

Please ignore them, just trying to find the bottleneck.

If you see the [New Server] message on the top of the page, please let me know if you are still having site speed issues BUT ONLY AFTER YOU HAVE STARTED SEEING THAT MESSAGE. If you don't see that message, the most recent fix attempt hasn't propagated to you yet.

Did you know?
The two largest American dog shows after Westminster are the National Dog Show (which is televised on Thanksgiving Day by NBC, usually after the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade) and the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship.
