If you happen to be using our custom/3rd-party Integration feature (Common Notification URL or Payment Variable Information URLs) to send order data to some script(s) on your server, you should make sure those scripts are set up and functional on the new server before you repoint your domain name's DNS record to the new site server's IP.

If you will also be changing your domain's DNS host, then as I explained above, first repoint your domain to the new server IP on both your old and new DNS hosts, and then you can update your domain registration to reference the new DNS host.]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5032/pg/0#post18849 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5032/pg/0#post18849 Fri, 16 Sep 2011 22:06:45 GMT
What do you need to know in order to help me?

NOTE: in order to move existing working site to a grid server, I have to enable SSH, so i will be doing that. 1st "migration". Then i upgrade to Grid server. 2nd "migration".

I guess I will need to know what e-junkie settings I will need to reset, redirect to remain functional.

Thanks for your help.]]> E-junkie Discussions; dw27 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5032/pg/0#post18849 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5032/pg/0#post18849 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 06:21:42 GMT

You should have the right to point any resource that's legitimately under your control, to any other resource that's similarly yours. Whether mt actually honors that for their DNS service, I couldn't say; I'm a fan of using a 3rd-party DNS service (neither part of your registrar nor your hosting provider) to avoid that kind of problem, among others.]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-JunkieRocketSurgeon http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5032/pg/0#post18849 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5032/pg/0#post18849 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 02:01:45 GMT
So, our site used to be hosted on Media Temple. The new one is at VPS.net. Our domain is with GoDaddy. Let me see if I understand. I should have updated our DNS zone at Media Temple, telling it to point to the new server IP. I also should have setup the DNS zone info at VPS.net - then I should have changed the nameservers at GoDaddy? Do I have that right?

In effect, that would have almost instantly pointed all users to the new server via Media Temple's DNS zone info. Then DNS servers worldwide would have slowly picked up the nameserver change from GoDaddy; but no one would know, because they would already be reaching the new site. Am I understanding it correctly?

This is very valuable info. Thanks again.]]> E-junkie Discussions; Organic http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5032/pg/0#post18849 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5032/pg/0#post18849 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 00:52:15 GMT E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5032/pg/0#post18849 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5032/pg/0#post18849 Wed, 23 Feb 2011 23:45:08 GMT
I think everything is fine. I'm guessing it just takes a little longer than 24 hours for all your servers to update. Thanks for your help again guys.]]> E-junkie Discussions; Organic http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5032/pg/0#post18849 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5032/pg/0#post18849 Wed, 23 Feb 2011 23:20:41 GMT
* your registrar data "Last Updated on: 22-Feb-11" (i.e. looks like the new data)
* domain servers DNS1.VPS.NET and DNS2.VPS.NET
* www.organicthemes.com resolves to 98.158.187.249

Assuming that's all correct, is it possible that your script which receives the notifications still has the IP address of the old database hardcoded, and it's connecting back to it?]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-JunkieRocketSurgeon http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5032/pg/0#post18849 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5032/pg/0#post18849 Wed, 23 Feb 2011 22:53:33 GMT E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5032/pg/0#post18849 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5032/pg/0#post18849 Wed, 23 Feb 2011 07:26:54 GMT
One of the most persistent issues we've had is a script we use to catch data from E-Junkie notification URLs and write it to a database. It does not work on the new site and new database. I checked the database on the old server, and the data is appearing there, so it appears E-Junkie is sending the data to that old server (where the old site and database are still setup). I assume this is because E-Junkie's DNS servers still have the old name servers.

Our last transaction went through about three hours ago, and it's still being sent to the old server. Am I correct in assuming this is a DNS issue? Is there anything that can be done about it?]]> E-junkie Discussions; Organic
