Migrating Drupal to New Server
Recently, I migrated Drupal 6.x to a new server. The front page still worked, but all the links were broken. They were all still pointing to the correct place, but for some strange reason, they were not found. The URL stayed the same. I simply updated the DNS to point to the IP address of my new server. This is a major issue. I migrated many sites to this new server and there have been several problems. On a site where I used SOAP, I had to install the SOAP module where as it was already installed on my other server. All my sites used to be on a dedicated server from http://www.joyent.com/, but now they are hosted on my Mac OS X beast. The $125 a month dedicated server did not come close in processing and disc quota to my 240 GB hard drive, core duo, G5 with version 10.5 of OS X. It was kind of a pain setting up MySQL because of all the out of date, incorrect tutorials online. The tutorial that got MySQL working, was the simple install instructions at the MySQL website.
