Alright probably should mention now, that while we were backed up within 1 day of the actual transition, we might have lost about 1 days worth of posting… I guess that’s not too bad - the problem was, I didnt’ relaly know when the server would no longer be available…
Hope its not too much of a problem for anyone.
There have been some more difficulties with the domain ame unforutnately, turns out that the “registrar” has “locked” the domain, whcih might mean some delays in transferring it to the new server. the hosting company was not aware of this, as it is quite an unusual and irregular practise.
have been writing emails, and hopefully everthing will get sorted soon.
Okay. Well I have spoken to the previous hosting company. They are in the process of updating the “name servers” so that the address dreamofpeace.net will point to the new server…
This usually takes a day or two to update. Hopefully it will get working over this weekend, but I can’t be entirely definite…
Well I just thought I’d let you know that this might take a few hours to upload!
Apparently the database (compressed is 26.2 mb), yet uncompressed on my computer it jumps up all the way to a horrible 263 mb! Usually on the server, it’s size is about 100mb…
I don’t quite undersrtand the varying sizes, but I’m pretty sure it has something to do with compression
Anyway such large files are difficult to upload on the cPanel control panel for a server, so I might need to break it up into a number of different parts, which while time consuming will hopefully allow us to complete the task…
especially nice to hear from you Patrik! I hope you are enjoying your last few moments in Melbourne! Was great to see you the other day!
Will write more soon. it looks as though I have a busy night ahead of me. The total text-file is some 260mb, so it takes a very long time to not only open, but then I have to select different portions of the text individually. Considering I can only jump two lines at a time, with the arrow key, this is a pretty slow process!
