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. :)

Same problem exists for the Advanced search, too. Maybe you can just disable PHP warnings if there are no side effects.

Feels like flying! Thumbs up! I know moving to a new server with version changes is no simple task.

I'm looking into the problem. :)

Problem fixed.
Also found a potential other problem at the same time and fixed that too. :)

I think it's all precalculated. But you knew I was going to say that.

That's because it's now ZeroPage Optimized (TM). (patent pending)

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. ;)

I just died a little reading that.
