My brain hurts (trying) to read all of that... Good to see its all up n' running anyhoo.
That rsync commmand is really awesome. Its one of the things I really like about unix systems over Windows. I should give ImageMagick a try one of these days. btw, in IE 7 the post is kinda misaligned and shows up below the Related Posts section. SS here: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y132/bele04/MisalignedPost.png Great job on the migration. From what I read I don't think you had a lot of problems transferring to the new server. hehehe! ^^
What kind of *nix distro are you using, Danny? Your step by step procedure was awesome. You made it sound so simple. Please tell us how you're gonna do the load balancing in the future. I'm definitely interested in knowing how you'll set up a separate server for images only. Thanks, and good luck with the tweaking!!!
yoyo ..?? means there's no more dannychoo.com? must use this http://74.53.196.114/?
Hayashi, No - keep dannychoo.com bookmarked. When your ISP updates its DNS records, you will see this site appear as normal at dannychoo.com. Sonnyf, Redhat. Will keep you posted ^^ Bele, Thanks, I think I fixed it. Andy, More moe stuff from tomorrow ^^;
Power differences between the old server and the new ^^; Welcome to the new server and welcome back ^^
congratulations danny....enjoys your new site....I hope you continue this way......=R@u=
congratulations danny....enjoys your new server....I hope you continue this way......Of the old thing to the new thing....jajajaj New generation.....excellent Creativity in your web...very good your pictures and videos.....congratulations. ahhhh...... .May the Forced be with you....jajajaj......=R@U=
None of that tech stuff ever makes sense to me. I just hope everything continues to go smoothly ^^
looking all that stuffs i though it was science rocket :D PS: i thuong new server means new interface :|
Ugh... just realized I have been posting from my mobile all day and I forgot to update the bookmark. Stupid me... Oh boy, .50 cent. per, GB... ^^; No doubt the new server will better serve -no pun intended- your site. Having a UNIX based OS makes somethings so much quicker. I had realized how much UNIX I forgot until I started using OSX full time. ^^; Thanks for letting us see your migration outline. Please do give us a post when you do the load balance.
Ah DNS and bandwidth, the bane and the glory of my existence. Thankfully we're no where near maxing out our bandwidth. Although, I've had a few "tech support" guys call me up and complain that we didn't tell them about the name server move when we did send a mass email to their clients. They were complaining about changing a static ip address for the old name servers. Sheesh!
Thank God for the ways of UNIX. :) I keep putting off backups and migrations, only to kick myself later because when I'm forced to do it I remember just how darned easy it is, so there was no good reason to not do it in the first place! Congrats on the new server and bandwith provider.
Congrats on the successful migration. Though I had no idea what those techno mumbo jumbo meant. Maybe it will come in very useful when I do a server migration too in like 123123 years time.
Good to see that the migratiion went without big problems. Good luck!
I read many blogs and in hopes of starting one but when i keep seeing complicating stuff, my desire to start one drops a lot T_T Congrats on the success migration
oh god i hate doing linux..... but i am studying it after all..
Uh, too complicated for me xD
i guess my internet provider not yet flush their dns. i can see the message that dannychoo.com left for people like me.
You kick ass Danny ^_^ Speed has been well improved. I use IE7 and now I can see the whole page quite instantanously. Your Unix tuto is also well interesting. Should be nice to work with you. Your idea of random RSS feed is marvellous. Some (many) of us will discover what is high traffic. Thx again. Always a pleasure to come here.
Bug: My webpage is not updated. Still writing to my old web page, whereas mine is scanx.free.fr now. Except that, you're still impressive!
I've managed to fix it by adding a "/" to my web address and then updating my profile. But before one address was recorded in my profile (the new one) and one was showed (different, the old one). Nevertheless it works now ^_^. Anyway you make Unix stuffs sound so excited. I say that because I've been working in system for 7 years !!
Mmm Redhat. Have you heard of LightTPD, Danny? If you have a lot of spare time I'd recommend testing it out. It is simple, stable, and quick. I worked with it as an alternate for Apache, but it became my main for a brief time before my virtual server disappeared due to lack of funds.
Nice to see the move didn't take long and have any problems. Nice to have you back.
Always changes and migrations.. servers.. internet providers.... no one is safe :P
Shou', I have and will probably use that as the image server. Vincent, Glad its fixed. Ataris, Its happening for me too ~~;
glad that you've migrated to your new server w/o any problems at at least a few problems here and there ^^
wait a minute, i don't know if anyone has noticed but i think there's an error in the user avatar... when i post a comment, the avatar posted is my old avatar but when i visit my profile page it shows my updated avatar
Henry, Thats a bug on this end ^^; The comments table stores the name of your avatar - in this case it was a png file. You updated your avatar with a jpg file which is why you notice the difference. If you post another comment, you will see your jpg avatar. This is something I need to fix soon ^^; Thanks for pointing it out.
