The Nameless Site

I’ve recently been preparing sites to move to drupal 5 for the new awesome server I got. I mean I could set the thing up using php4 and make all the old sites work and such.

Anyways, during this process (and I’m having fun really playing with drupal 5 this time), I decided to setup the log parsing program, awstats for both and zannen (since those are the two major upgrades i gotta do first).. Its suprising to see who’s linked to hiscifi.com, but even more surprising is the people (some I actually know) who use zannen.ca as a source.

On the new server I’m going to be organizing things a lot better. I’ve already setup a secondary dns server this time (although i’m going to probably switch it sometime when I can find a “buddy”), and I’m going to be setting up a stats vhost for people to check their own website stats. Its going to be pretty awesome once I get there.

I’m sure there will be some tech posts as I go.

Switched my hosting to lighttpd due to the smaller memory footprint and such.

It seems ALOT faster for at least http://www.sfuarc.com than apache. And my server load doesn’t get as high.. I’m prettty sure it has todo with BML / Fotobuilder.. Its just not designed for a server like mine.

If anyone notices any problems with my site(s) now, if they could let me know that’ll be awesome..

Eventually I’ll be getting my own beefy dedicated server, but for now i’ll stick with what i have :)

HRM…

i could setup jabber so it would work for any of my mail domains.
set it up so on those domains, people can only login using thier mail logins.

so jevon@hiscifi.com
gavin@kodekoan.com

etc

that’d be pretty cool…
could even make email notification using that.

Its actually been a very productive long weekend for me, one of the few i guess.
Spent most of it rebuilding software, reconfiguring applications, and creating new interfaces.
So step by step:

* Installed MT on my server again
* Started and nearly completed a new version of MTLJPost
* Started on the Hosting interface. All the software is configured (with ftp and postfix being tweaked for various things today).
* Finished the password resetter for Hosting at /client/
* Been playing with Class::DBI for the frontend for the mailbox and ftp login manager. Its actually coming along quite nicely if i wasn’t getting html’ed out. I really gotta build some nice frontend libraries or standards templates, but next weekend probably.
