The OS is loaded, and the security is configured. Today, we load mySQL, a newer Apache, and PHP. Install vBulletin, and the DB, and we should have this puppy up today.
Morrus, stay around ICQ as much as you can today, add me to your visible list if need be, but I will most likely need you to change your link to the forums later on today.

New server is up and operational. This coming week, we will update vBulletin, and give the box it's permanent IP address.
Once done, I'm sure Morrus will open it up to the public.
Also, the hosting of the server technically doesnt start until
July 01, so, the past history on this temp server are all gratis, and the box will be online before the July 01 date, so, for now, thats about it.

Ok, heres the latest on the server, and forums...
Server is online, vBulletin is upgraded to the latest version.
Machine gets its IP today (Saturday).
Monday, we will back up the database from the test server, to the new server, and its in business.
As for the 2 URL's to the test server: As I announced, we're changing backbone providers at the ISP where the server(s) are hosted. I announced that some 'pain' might be felt as we switch over from Sprint to AT&T. The 'pain' was supposed to be felt LAST week.
Instead, we felt it over the last few days, and it's by and large past.
Remember, Morrus and I talked about this new server, and during the initial commencement, is when I found out about this backbone switch, so, it was indeed poor timing.
When we changed all IP addresses, we also changed the IP on the test server.
We aliased TEST2 to point at the box, so cached DNS could be worked around until the change went global.
As it is, both URL's to the test forums now work. DNS has migrated.
As for cookies: expect a final break on cookies when we DO migrate to the new server, but that will be the last time.
Monday, the box gets te DB upgrade (its running a DB from a week or so ago), and gets put on a battery backup, and its done.
Sorry about the rough ride, but again, this backbone change was brought to my attention just as I was building the new server, so, I could not avert it, or any of the issues that arose.
Things should be getting stable here presently.
