Shell Access can indeed be a blessing for it!
Else you’d better compress the SQL-file (preferably using bzip compression or at least tar.gz) and use either CPanel or PhpMyAdmin to upload the compressed file and let the server extract it serversided (hoping php will not timeout during the process…)
else, if they don’t allow Shell Access, they might be able to execute the commands for you.
A few days before it tragicly disapeared, one of my team members had a dream that he was in a huge fish tank where lots of people happily swam, but there was a 'bad guy" swimming around, not being nice.
Later, I thought; “I hope nothing bad happens to sealife…”
And now this!
Well this morning I had a dream that sealife was back today!
But I came here to look, and it is not. Well maybe it will be true later on today!
You can always PM it to a team member and just paste it when sealife is back up Sometimes I mail things to myself when sites are down so I’m sure it will not be lost!
Cant wait to start posting again, my recall has jumped recently so i have tons of dreams to post (have to get aroudn to writing them up on the puter from my written dream journal).
Explora, Patrick, Alana had a great time with you guys the other day! Hope the mutual dreaming experiment worked better for you guys!
Sorry I’ve been a little lazy as to replying here. Sea Life should be ready by tomorrow. I’ve been speaking with the hosting company. I’m not sure if they wanted to give me a shell accoutn (security risks being what they are), btu they are transferring the database directly, which of course is great!
It’s 11pm here in Australia, but hopefully they’ll either get to transferring it very soon, or sometime tomorrow morning… What a relief
I hope they do it fast for you! it might help if you give them the commands to perform… and tell them you have many visitors who need the forum to survive … good luck!
Okey. I sent them off another mail, giving a rundown of our desparate situation
Hopefully they’ll set it up soon. well it’s been an interesting week Of course, at least we’re now on the new, and more permanent server… Which is definitely a good start!

Let’s hope the performance is better
and yes, I know the fuss with SSH…
It used to be enabled on my host… but due to some Scriptkiddiots, they changed their policy.
they closed all SSH accounts and if you want SSH, you should send in a copy of your passport, so they have confirmation of your ID and can use it to track you down if you abuse the SSH access…
Yes so true Fixato. I think I understand, and while they do offer “SSH” as an optional extra, I think they figured, that I am a new customer, and having only paid one monthly fee, it might be easier if they just do it for me…
However, it does seem like I’m still waiting for a reply from them. r3tro - Hopefully it will be sometime within the next 8 hours, but I can’t really know
