Just migrate the website!

[Lightwar6]

Come on now, present me with 300 million things that dont pass the "QA" check and offer a button to ignore it for each one? I have it in manual, i should be able to just bypass your cute little "QA script" and migrate the site over, honestly im confident i can sort these issues out on my own, so i would appreciate it if would either make your kiosk have a "check all" option or...a forced migration option. Please

Lightwar6,

I can appreciate a handful of customers who feel as you do. I can.

However, the majority has to rule in these situations and we need to make sure each customer is aware of any file or file type that may pose an issue so that you know what's happening during the transition of your site.

If you want to expedite this, you could contact support and have them immediately flip the site for you.

I don't think Lightwar6 was suggesting that anything be different than the way currently set up. But is rather suggesting an additional option be added to the QA portion of the migration. Something like the "I don't much care what the problems are with this site, just flip it." button.

I had the same problem, although I only had 69 errors, so I did click on the ignore button 69 times. If it is any consolation to Lightwar6 I did find that I could click on about 6 at a time before the screen refreshed and it would pick up all 6 ignores.

I appreciate that the design is currently intended to "force" people to look at each file. My problem with the whole thing, was that the errors were basically "Directory Does Not Exist", or some such. Well no kidding I had deleted all the legacy directories that didn't exist after the site was migrated, but re-migtrating did not remove the errors that were not now errors, but items that were purposely removed :D

Oh well, migration is close to over, so it really doesn't matter now does it :cool:

Ok, I'm confused. Do you need to click ignore on all those "errors" before the flip tool will work? I ran the flip tool and it said everything is just fine.

But no confirmation, no message, nothing...

And I don't know if it's really changing the DNS.

If you have asked for the DNS to be flipped, wait a few hours and then go to www.dnsstuff.com and enter your domain name in the "domain lookup" tool at upper right. If it comes back with a number starting with 65, you've flipped. 66, you haven't.

Well, just an update. I re-ran the migration script, never finished hitting all the ignore buttons, and re-ran the flip tool. Two minutes later my site was flipped, and with a much better ping than before. I guess those of us in New England do get something out of all this :)

I picked up on the trick of multi-clicking the ignore button as well. The trouble was having to scroll down on the page when it did refresh. I had over 500 errors and many of them were because the pages are dynamically generated and change each time they load.

My site migrated okay. There were a few adjustments with the cron/scheduled jobs, but I worked that out. It would have saved time if there was an ignore all button. I wasn't able to flip until the ignore buttons were gone.

After that, I just used a traceroute tool to tell me when the flip happened. I ended up saving 6 hops, so that part of the change-over worked out well for me ;)
