Well… this transfer didn’t go as smoothly as I had planned. DNS is being annoying. It managed to updated in the about 2 minutes I had it pointing to another ip… so I changed my host file so I could easily post this. Oh well.
For the transfer, I had to write a little script so I could ftp my large files separately from the rest of the site. The entire thing can’t be moved at once because stuff times out. That’s reasonable. My script worked anyway. Then I just used the built in transfer to get it over. I’ll post the script when i’m not so exhausted.
I promised a more thorough review of my cds once my site moved. I didn’t expect to be anywhere near this tired. I’m sorry. I will have to postpone that as well. Maybe I can finish my xapian stuff tomorrow and have a couple happy posts. For now, I wait for dns.
I really do like the new server. Seems a lot more intellegent and Host Rocket has been great. I can’t wait until their “freedom bandwidth” is available for my server.
