There had been a few small issues with the new server that I had to sort out this morning, but that’s done now. This morning at 02:45 was not the right time to do it, I’d been up for a long time and somehow managed to go a fair way down a bottle of Belvedere.

I added the time to the date on the top left of the posts, I’d never noticed before but if I post twice on the same day it was previously just showing both posts with the same date.

The permalinks are working again, a little mod_rewrite action in the httpd.conf and that’s all sorted.

There are a few other small backend problems, the php MySQL module is older than the MySQL version I’m using, this has come about due to a lack of installer for MySQL and me having to drop in the packages myself. I may recompile php, but again I was not up to this last night, first though I’ll weigh up whether I can really be bothered sinc it doesn’t seem to be causing me any issues, and if it ‘aint broke, then don’t fix it.

Well after what seems like an eternity I have managed to get my Internet connection at the new place sorted, which means I can get the site back up. The connection is a little slow but that may change soon, we’ll see how I get on with BT and various other issues.

Nice to be back anyway. I felt a little lost without the net at home, a little out of the loop if you know what I mean.

Anyway, that’s all for now and I should have a more full post tomorrow.

I did experience a short spell of server down time recently, due to some electrical work being carried out. Hopefully though that is all done now and things can return to normallity.

For both monetary and other reasons I have changed my hosting provider. I did use Zen, but have recently begun hosting my website on my own server again. It gives me more control over the setup, but also saves me a bit of cash each month.

Cheers
