Well, it wasn't that exciting since I was asleep when it completed - it required a lot of waiting - but the move is complete! Horay!

Hopefully someone will let me know if I missed fixing the permissions of any drupal/files or gallery/albums directories, which are particular about how they should be. There was only one stray dns problem, which was quickly fixed and had to do with the site not actually being hosted here - just the dns, and now I'll be able to relax.

New server!

Update 8:AM MST Had new server performing stress tests all night. Still some more tests to do before I move any sites. This will prevent as much downtime as possible!

Well, compared to the speed of many sites we are quite fast, but the needs of future growth require us to get at least two processors. That means the database can run on one, web pages can be served by another, and the future will be excellent.

I'm going to start preparing for a move, and Lucid and I will make sure the database and file integrity are solid. For the most part, nobody will notice any changes until I actually move cyborgcow.net, which a lot of people use for the hostname in their ftp/email configurations. For that reason, I'll get to make sure the move is faster than ever before with various other sites before I make a final move.

We also hit software limitations that require us to upgrade the base Linux distribution in order to proceed without having to possibly cause panic in a production environment. Moving to a fresh and meticulously setup server will increase performance and allow me to bring more features for everybody!

I may recycle moo as the name for the server, and although hugs has been good to us, Dual Xeons will greatly enhance my ability to allocate resources for everyone to use. The decision to do it this month is not final, so I'll post by 5/20/08 if we are moving. The move would then be finished b 5/27/08 - which gives ample time to test and make sure I can access the backups!

New members can create an account automagically, and for the people who have been on non-subscriptions, you can see your invoices and pay them.

I put a F.A.Q. in it, which means I do not need to use the articles system here. I am going to design something that gives a front page server blog and portal, forum, and gallery all their best points.
