This somewhat requires you’ve followed my suggestions on not committing yourself to a certain host or your own DNS or mail servers, if not the extra steps might take you 10 more minutes, maybe days.
There are plenty of ways to migrate to a new server depending on how you’ve setup the server or your host, these are just to show the simplicity of my migrations after following the post linked above.
Step 1:
Rsync your other server’s files to the new…
If you ever get an error like this,
$ svn import /home/user/repos/new file:///home/svn/repos/default/ -m “initial”
svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
svn: Unable to open repository ‘file:///home/svn/repos/default’
after an svn import it’s because, like me, you’re lame. The syntax is wrong and should look like this,
$ svn import /home/svn/repos/default/ file:///home/user/repos -m “initial import”
Notice the source is first then the repo you want to import to. Doh!
The server migration went horrible and ok. The good: I was forced to migrate this morning because my current host all of a sudden dropped my memory or is having problems allocating memory to my VPS so all my sites were white screening. But since I was forced to move I didn’t have to worry about DBs being synced, the dumps and imports went well. And since I use GD for my nameserver it took 10 minutes to switch over…
For some reason or another I could not find good documentation on installing Subversion and Trac on fc6 while also using Apache so I’ve simply just documented what I’ve learned and just implemented on my own system.
This tutorial is about the installation of a development enviroment on FC6 it’s not a how-to for using it. If you need to know more I recommend reading Version Control with Subversion (I just ordered it).
Requirements
You need to install these packages before we start…
iWork 08
Yesterday I posted about Numbers and I shyed away from posting about the other two apps in iWork ‘08; Pages and Keynote because the only thing out of those two apps that’s worth mentioning is “action builds” for Keynote.
Action builds is a very cool feature and to have it in a presentation software makes me say “finally”. Keynote has had animations in previous versions but not like this. Instead of building the motion in another application like Flash or…
I created my first Yahoo! Pipe and I’m impressed with how easy it was. My first pipe involves manipulating my Pownce feed with a few regex expressions to include the post link and the comment count in the description of the item. And most noticeably I’ve taken out the “DANCAMERON:” from the title.
The reasoning: I’m using feedwordpress to pull my pownce messages to create posts on this blog. This is so my RSS readers can go straight to a post with…
This has got to be the best review/article on the age old debate of Linux vs. Mac. The article is extensive but the conclusions on the topic mimic my sentiments exactly.
In the following pages, they lead a guided tour of the two OSes, paying particular attention to eight important areas: Installation & Migration; Hardware Support & Power Management; Networking, Web & Wireless; Productivity; Entertainment; Security; Working With Windows (because we couldn’t completely ignore Microsoft); and Stability, Backup & Disaster Recovery.
Which is the…
I might as well complete my planned post about Google apps since a conversation is about to start.
I’ve been in the transition of using Google Apps for the last few weeks for a trial review. Next week I’ll need to decide whether to keep my apps account or stick with the free apps that I’m so dependent on. Since the my reasoning for using Google apps is solely based on my use of e-mail and the guaranteed uptime and support I can’t…
If anyone wants to create an automator script, php script or anything similar that will simply take a mass amount (thousands) of scale them to a certain size and add padding so the resulting image is of a specified 1:1 size I would appreciate it.
I’ve been searching for a script for photoshop or automator that will do do just this and I can’t find it. Automator already has the function included but it creates a black background for padding and…
It makes me curious why Google Apps doesn’t allow for current gmail upgrades. Are the two services that different that they just couldn’t migrate my account? After my recent GMail outage I signed up for the free beta lasting until the end of this month and noticed all I could do was create an account with a domain. I used scatteredmedia.com and then added my gmail account so it will import all of the e-mails through POP, it’s still downloading them…
