Hosted Mall Migration 01/10/2022

Please be aware that we are planning to move our Hosted Mall Opencart e-commerce platform from aging CentOS servers to new Alma Linux servers on Saturday 01/10/2022.  This will cause some interruptions to service for all e-commerce clients.

It is suggested that you take any checkout tills off line so that you may still operate and checkout in your physical premises stores whilst this migration work is carried out.

Any visiting online customers will be welcomed with a temporary message to return later.

Please pop back to this post for further updates and/or published issues.

Updates

22/09/2022 – The new virtual machine “Shop01” has been cloned from a template that we have previously made so I can confirm that everything is going to plan.

30/09/2022 – All set and ready for the migration tomorrow.

01/10/2022 @ 09:27 – Work started and existing e-commerce shops taken off line.

01/10/2022 @ 13:30 – All except one e-commerce website migrated over.  This was reverted to the old server due to an incompatible 3rd party module.  Investigatory work will be needed and this rescheduled for a future date.
