I’m Baaaaaaaack…

Ok… if you’re reading this, then I actually did something right!

This blog is now on the new webserver! It took some trial and error getting it transferred and viewable, but it has been done! My brain has overcome dependency hell. Now to take care of all the other sheeeet.

The Upgradening Approaches

I’m planning to move the websites over to the AlmaLinux server tomorrow, so you can expect there will be some downtime while I get everything in place. I’m already backing some files via sftp, and I’ve already backed off the SQL databases and virtual host files. So far the only snag I’ve run into is installing phpMyAdmin, but that can be set aside for now. I’m going to experiment with wp cli to get the databases up and running for each WordPress install.

I did a little of all the things

Tweaked the beta blog this evening, and also decided to look up a basic MediaWiki installation for CentOS 7, and it looked straight forward enough that I semi installed it tonight. I say semi installed because I’m getting a blank page, and according to my research that means some form of PHP error. Rather than spend most of the evening playing with a new site I ended up deciding to shelve it for another day, along with the remaining wordpresses, one to port over and one to recreate.

Oh, and it isn’t much but I did manage to animate a tiny bit tonight… here is the current WIP:

At this point your guess is as good as mine.
