tf2.muppfarmen.se in the virtual xen-space

Posted: January 21st, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Team Fortress 2, Tech stuff, updates | Comments Off

The work involving tf2.muppfarmen.se and mumble2.muppfarmen.se is progressing.

The server  is now a minimal Debian Squeeze running as a XEN appliance. The next step is to set up a http server and a MySQL server for web and database duties.

mumble2.muppfarmen.se is up and running as of now.

tf2.muppfarmen.se is up, but the HLStatsX CE engine is not up yet, since we haven’t set up the database and web portions yet.

tf2.muppfarmen.se down for maintenance

Posted: January 6th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Killing Floor, Team Fortress 2, Tech stuff | Comments Off

tf2.muppfarmen.se and kf.muppfarmen.se will be taken down for a while. Killing Floor will move to another machine on a static IP (hopefully tonight), and tf2 will rise again as a virtual instance on our upcoming XEN based cluster. The upcoming virtualization will take some time, so don’t expect the server up and running within the next week or so.

Also our backup mumble server mumble2.muppfarmen.se will be on hiatus.
