All,

This weekend, Saturday the 26th until Sunday the 27th of June, I will be conducting SAM's annual 'service'.

Amongst other elements, this will involve the backing-up and re-installation of all data, software and drivers. As such, the S.A. stream(s) will be offline for a number of hours over the course of this weekend.

I'll obviously keep the downtime to a minimum and will be working continuously through the night to complete this annual task.

In the meantime, please do not panic - SAM will be back online as soon as possible.

I'll post within this thread as to progress and confirm once a full operating service has been restored.

Thanks in advance for your patience.

Time now is being taken installing and configuring SAM's software. Whilst I had taken back-ups of a lot of settings, there's still a fair amount of manual configuration needed ...

Once done, I'll be in a position to copy over the music files - which is going to take several hours due to the size.

All of SAM's software has now been fully configured. Also, the MySQL server has been fine-tuned and configured.

SQL tunnel created and operating successfully between the S.A. website server and SAM.

A deep scan disk has been performed on SAM's dual RAID drives - ensuring that there are no errors with either the disks themselves or SAM's new installation.

All three ShoutCast servers are now connected to SAM and streaming the music without any issues.

Again, apologies for the downtime over the weekend folks. However, I hope that you can all appreciate that this exercise was necessary and all of S.A.'s software is now running on the very latest versions.

Continue to enjoy.

Thank you for your efforts, D, and for the fine results of said efforts: Hours and days and weeks of marvelous uninterrupted prog!
