Title: Switching MySQL Servers
Post by: gradio on March 18, 2014, 11:52:07 am

Hi there!

We are facing the following challenge:
The streaming server's mysql database is located on a different server which is going to switch its IP due to an upgrade within 24 hours. (So, basically, the MySQL database is moving to a different server.)

Will it be enough (and safe) to wait until the migration has taken place and then just change the DB_HOST in the centovacast.conf file or is this too short-sighted?
Are our streams going to be interrupted when the MySQL server is not available for a short period of time?

Thanks a lot in advance for any helpful answer!  :)

Hello,

The only thing that should be affected with the switch is that you will not be able to start stop or log into admin or user accounts.

Thanks! In fact, the streams are not affected by a temporary absence of the MySQL connection.
