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240 GB hard drive, core duo, G5 with version 10.5 of OS X. It was kind of a pain setting up MySQL because of all the out of date, incorrect tutorials online.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

Random Thoughts

The Random Thoughts project is going quite well. Users are enjoying the site and entering some very interesting posts. The posts are typically very simplistic, but they are interesting and some of the content is very unique. Most other blogs are from more serious people, but the Random Thoughts website gets content from just about anybody. The thoughts of almost all type of people are published to the world. It allows people to share culture and beliefs.

Project Euh!

Funny Site!

Project-Euh! is a hilarious website that actually uses JavaScript in some very interesting ways. The site is pure humor and it will make just about anyone laugh. It is basically a website where you can click a link or button that says "Euh!" and it brings you to a random web page on the site with some silly script. One example is a pong game that can be played with browsers. Four pop up windows show up. One is for score keeping. Then one window is the pong ball that goes back and forth. And there is a window the player can use to hit the floating window back and forth. The computer gets a window that hits the window back to you. Very interesting!
