Web Server Updates
You may have noticed some service interuptions with the Salientia website over the last couple of days. I’ve just moved the whole website from a Linux box in our living room to Korax hosting. There are a number of reasons for this – first of all, hosting with Korax is cheaper than the upcharge I have to pay our ISP for a fixed IP address. Secondly, the web traffic was starting to choke our connection – too many people looking at pictures on the server. Thirdly, Korax’s email servers are far faster and more reliable than our ISPs. Finally, this is all part of my plan to get rid of Bell and go to VOIP. Moving the WordPress blogs went smoothly – moving the gallery – not so smoothly. It turns out I’d configured the database with some options that are not supported on the Korax implementation of MySQL, so I need to rebuild the database….oh well.
