Sad to say, our Dedicated Server is gone now, or rather it will be soon… HostNuke’s moved us back to a VPS, though we have about the same spec’s as we did before, only I’m assuming its newer hardware than the older stuff we had ;)…
CentOS5 as usual, Webmin/VirtualMin as before, PHP5/MySQL5… Email still served through Google lol… Our RDNS should be set out of the box, but will need to validate IP’s against spamhaus and check that new registration emails are being sent/received…
All that fun stuff! lol…
One heartache though, I went to upgrade Gallery to the latest build on www.corthell.net and the damned thing choked, so I sat here for like 3 hours trying to do a simple upgrade… The bafoon who responded to my forum posting on their forums said I’d have to delete everything and start from scratch…
The fix you ask? The versions.dat file was empty for some reason (likely due to the botched upgrade prior in the night), so finding a “recovery” posting in their FAQ did wonders to getvme back up… Took about 2 minutes to patch the file and run the upgrader… And best of all, I didn’t have to purge and start anew… As I would have cried lol…
I have a lot more to patch and upgrade on the new machine, and loads more to look up; so wish me luck, it’ll be a fun task… not like I needed another after what heartache’s this last month brought me… More on that, and more on the server migration later…
