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!
explora, if you still have trouble with the uploading please get shell access and do it with the shell commands, saves a lot of time and trouble, it takes only a few minutes that way!
I’ve done the upload in several parts thing the first time LD4all had to move to a new server and took me days… then i found out i could have shell access, did it with the shell commands as is described in the update file and it was all done in a few minutes.
I’ll see if I have shell access “automatically”, though I’m not certain. I think I might just have to ask for it, which could be difficult since it’s the weekend, and I don’t think they do stuff like that ont he weekend.
Would probabyl be a good idea to get the shell account anyway though
