I do know that there is some documentation I read that I tossed up making the 5.3 changes or the 5.2 ones, and went with the fastest (read 5.2).
There is one problem--it's not writing to the error log properly.
But why is it writing to the error log? It's not doing that on the 5.2 install. b.com is connecting to the 5.2 database, so that's the same. I copied every single file over from the 5.2 install directory structure to b.com, and then took way too long to remember the right path for the error logs. But it's set right now, as are the permissions on the folders, so I'm going to focus on the things that I know are different between the installations first in troubleshooting. Once those are removed, then I'll move on.
If anyone, including you, has any other suggestions for what could be causing different behaviours on two dreamhost sites, I'm all ears. I certainly don't want to do the work involved in checking the code to 5.3. That's very low on my list of ways to wrap up the week.
Nope. But FTP is, so that was the front half of the path errors, me cutting and pasting from Filezilla.
I dialed .com back to 5.2. It's all I have energy for right now. I will have a look this evening, but be warned--we may go live on b.org on 5.2 and I'll schedule 5.4 (go hard or go home!) for some later date.
ita, did you get the email about the patch? And should we tell them we'll pay the $500 and are cancelling our account?
Also, can we seriously stay with that super-cheap DreamHost plan? Because that would be amazing.
Seems a little pokey to me. I think we'll have to bump it up.
Even if we went to the $50/month plan, that's half of what we were paying, so.
Do you think we can wait on answering them until tomorrow?
Get all the shit moved, and then give them the money and tell them thanks for all the fish, but we've switched to a service that better matches our profile.
My goal is to bring the board down and start copying around 9am board time tomorrow morning. I know I said the DNS change would be put into effect at 8am eastern, but since I'm not setting an alarm clock, I'm not asking you to do so either.
We can certainly wait. 9am board time, I will not be home, so would you prefer an hour earlier or an hour later?
