apologies for this ....

Last night I transferred some services off the 'main' efests server onto a new server, so that there's even greater capacity at busy times for efestivals.

Unfortunately, the new server has a necessary component missing from it's configuration, and despite my best efforts over four hours I failed dismally to install the needed component.

So that meant I needed to move everything back again, and that meant putting some heavy load on the main server while it was put back - hence the 'busy' message.

My apologies for that, I hadn't realised that it would put such a load on the server to cause the busy message.

The missing component is now installed, and so I'm doing it all again right now - but hopefully this time without the fail and without having to reverse everything back again to what it was.

As I get the required stuff off this server over the next hour or so there might be a little bit of slowness, but I'll be very surprised if it gives the 'server busy' message.

And afterwards there's server resources freed up for use by these forums, which will help improve things on busy days. Essentially, it's an upgrade.
