'Bushwhacked'
Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
Quick update from support, will detail more later.
Oh, and Jon, I realise I never did any of what I said I'd do for you this weekend. More in email.
They said that we can go up to PHP5 on Plesk, and any version of PostreSQL (because it's not integrated with Plesk), but we'd be kept on MySQL 4.
So I'm even more pro-upgrade than I was before.
Got it, ita. No worries. Take your time.
Someone suggested to me that instead of paying the hourly conversion rate we sign up again with iStrata and migrate our stuff over to the new (presumably upgraded) account.
Even if we had two accounts open in parallel for a month, it'd be cheaper than paying for more than an hour of their services.
Of course, with a lot more of the work on our laps.
Which raises the point--why iStrata? Are there hosts out there who are stable but keep a more current level of the apps running?
I don't know. I'm tired just thinking about all of it.
I'm currently playing with css.buffistas.net. If anything goes wrong, it's probably my fault.
t later Never mind. My brain can't code right now.
The Planet is hella expensive, and I haven't even been able to find out what versions of MySQL, PHP and PostgreSQL they run yet. Still looking.
MediaTemple looks cool, but I wonder if it's currently unreasonable to find a decent host with 8.x PostgreSQL and 5.x MySQL.
These hosts say they offer them:
[link] [link] [link] and [link]
I've been wondering, does the to-do list need to be updated? I don't think it really reflects what's going on with the board.
I have a Pentium 4 with 1M L1 cache, 1 GB of RAM, a 160GB SATA2 drive, and 100MB/s ethernet. I get 1.3 TB of bandwidth of month, as well. The hardware is from Cari.net and I pay $80 a month for it.
OK, someone remind me how I work this--I just got an email saying that Sparky subscribed to the dcistas list--but I'm not even sure I'm ON the dcistas list (I don't think I got the email she'd sent to the list about the brunch she was having), much less how to be the administrator. Help?
