0 commentsI learned one of the virtues of using dedicated servers this week. If you (meaning I) screw up the server you can just cancel it and get another one. So, that’s what I did. I ordered a new one and will cancel the one I ordered last month before I need to renew it. So, I’m back to having a fresh machine. Now, I just need to figure out how to use rpm well enough to upgrade MySQL to 4.1 and PHP from 4.2 to 4.3 (forget about PHP 5) and be able to back out of it if an upgrade fails. I’m going to be much more weary of online tutorials for this, considering how my last experience went trying to adapt a tutorial for something just slightly different.
On the down side, my day job is in crunch mode right now. So, I don’t have time to work on the new server much. If I can just get the data and configuration files copying over by Friday, I’ll be happy. Then, I’m off on vacation for 9 days, looking for good desktop pictures to bring home.
