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my 240 GB hard drive, core duo, G5 with version 10.5 of OS X. It was kind of a pain setting up MySQL because of all the out of date, incorrect tutorials online.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.

Web Designer in the Boston, MA Area

Web Designer - Boston, MA is a great little website that offers simple and easy solutions. The most profound aspect of that website is the keyword tool. It can be used to generate keywords from any source of text. The offer of setting up a CMS (Content Management System) for $99 is a bargain. Drupal, Joomla!, WordPress, MediaWiki, phpBB are only some of the platforms that are offered.

Drupal 5.8-dev CMS

Drupaul is a CMS (Content Management System) that is very powerful and easy to use. It can save a lot of time with all the core system and third-party modules. A large Web 2.0 website can be built fairly quickly with Drupal. Some of the cons are that it is a large platform and can be slow if not used properly. Any custom PHP, MySQL, third-party modules/themes can easily turn into an issue for the entire system. The environment for developing modules allows easy and deep integration of the system, but can limit your reach. The system is easy to set-up and build a basic website and it allows much more advanced development. It is overall a great free and open-source system!
