Well, I was planning to move the sites over gradually to a new host over the course of this month so that we wouldn't have to go through this half-constructed stage together. But then our server (yes, that gem our old hosts moved us to in January) crashed again this past weekend, so we're moving now. Happy Vernal Equinox, happy new spring beginnings, even if they come in an unexpected way and make us feel unprepared. :shock:

So, all our stuff IS coming in the moving truck, but in the meantime, here's a little board to play around on and continue our discussions. YOU'LL NEED TO REGISTER AGAIN TO POST. It's probably best to register with your same data as on the regular boards, because we may be able to merge this and those ... but on the other hand, if you're really tired of your old handle, you can register under a new name.

These new hosts have got to be better than the old ones. They were a major pain.

Love,
Ruh-roh, no heart icon? We'll have to remedy that eventually!

Love,
Maria

Hi Suchi and Rainbow,

I see these boards don't have a place for Ginny to attach her graphics. :? Bummer.

I've dispatched a courier to abduct Proxymoon to help with the databases. I need a good list of Unix commands for Putty. :roll:

And this is how much I like ServePath of San Francisco. :evil:

How are you ladies doing tonight?

Maria

Maria...Maria....Maria...I just "re"met a girl named Maria.... (or something like that)

You are soooo cool 8) giving us something to "play around on."

I was feeling kind of lost when I couldn't get on CE, but I knew if I just had patience (which is a virtue)....we'd all be together again...*sigh*

Thanks again...you are much appreciated....

LOve,
Ginny/Rainbow

Maria, Maria, Maria

Hell-o girls.

So you are trying to shuffle DB's into a cracker box?

Details, I need details. :lol:

You have mail.

Did you know this is the same BBS as www.Fedoraforum.org uses? 8)

So, should I make coffee?

Darwin

Ah, it's so nice to have you eggheads here.

Yes, plenty o' coffee is a good idea, Proxy. Darwin has mail in return, and Suchi, I'll send you the discussion so far. We have to Putty our way in, and we may have to retrieve the databases in a different form than I have them in now ... in fact I think that's the probability.

Heads together.

Love

I think Maria has the concept about the DB's being copied and recovered.
She needs help with locating the databases on the old server.

But only one of us at a time can be using the account.
You have logged on on to the system before so you know what putty is returning.
Is it a full X11 or just a dumb xterm (and you then use VNC)
Can you tel Maria the commands to get to the /mnt folder

cd / # <--- you are here when you logon
cd /mnt
dir # <--- should show folders and files of which one will be olddrive
cd /mnt/olddrive
dir <--- You are now at root of olddrive
cd /mnt/olddrive/<mydblocpath>/<mydblocpath2>
dir # <--should show databases files

That is my guess.

DArwin

huh? :P I've not had a chance to work via putty, so I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do there. Copying the database files onto an external device, I assume?

Now, shouldn't we be able to take a backup of the existing database onto a disk and restore it temporarily on this new server to start with? Then see how the data needs to be mapped to the new database structure and transfer data.

Waiting for the email

Suchi, I sent it to g.mail 20 minutes ago. Will try again with your other address now.

Darwin, why don't you go ahead into the account and try your guess.

Maria

:lol: Hi Guys

Hi Ani....good to see you made it....(it's always nice to see you around...)

...and Maria...looks like it's also a blessing to have the "know how" of both Suchi and Prox...

What a team! Yeah! I'd say we're gonna make it... :lol:

Love,
Ginny

Whoa! It feels weird, but in a good way

And I love these little dudes - :evil: :twisted: May come in handy next time things get heated

WTG Maria !

Love,
Terri

Thanks, T. I love this winky guy. There is a conversion pack from our old boards to these ... so that's a possibility. And you can change all the colors and such of the actual BB to match. For now, I'm just glad I got our frame put on. Now I must work on database transfer.

But as I told you, I'm taking Thursday off!

Love,
Maria

Oh Wow! It's looking mora and more like home....

Maria...glad you're taking the day off...you deserve it!

.....and Terri....good to see you here.....



Love,
Ginny

May the force be with you Maria
