CSDb moving to a new server
Hi everyone.
I've been planing to move CSDb to a new server for some time now, as the old one was getting old. :)
As the new server is running new versions of php etc. I need to recode bits and pieces, which is why it has been going a bit slow.
Then today I got a mail from my hosting company, telling me that the old server is flashing red. They say it's a pending hardware failure. :(
Hopefully nothing will happen before I get CSDb moved, but I will for sure not have the time to test everything as good as I wanted, so be prepared for misc. stuff acting wierd when I get it moved.
The worst case is that the old server suddenly crash, and data will be lost.
I'll make sure to take backups often, and transfer them to the new server, to make the loss of data minimal in this case, but I though you should know this is a possibility.
Anyway, hope to see you soon on the new server. :)

Hehe.
Well, it's faster than I could hope for, so I'm happy. :)
Here is a little hardware info:
Old server:
- CPU: XEON 2.6Ghz
- RAM: 1GB
New server:
- CPU: Dual-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 1210 1.8GHZ
- RAM: 8GB
Also newer OS, PHP & SQL, and a lot more diskspace.
But I guess the RAM counts for a big part of it. :)

RAM is a big issue for databases.
Also CPUs developed a lot over the years. Old P4 Netburst architecture, which I guess the old Xeon single core was based on, had about the power of a todays Netbook Atom CPU. ;) |

Quoting SkateMaybe you can just disable PHP warnings if there are no side effects.
I just died a little reading that. |

So how are people supposed to know there's an error and report that then? Some errors could also be browser related? I am not sure Klaus has all the browsers on this planet to test |

its not even about testing. php is shitty enough as is, you really dont have to make your code even shittier by ignoring warnings and errors =) |

php is shitty..??
Never thought of it that way, but yes, php allows you to do a lot of things in an unsecure way to make it easy, and this was one of the problems with this move.
They are starting to clear out some of the worst of those "features", which i gladly used back in the days when coding CSDb in the first place. :)
Roughly estimated, I had to fix 1500 lines of code all around. :) |
