I’m thinking of burning it down and rebuilding it from scratch. Use WordPress “network” functionality and put all the Wiki pages into WordPress with a single codebase, then organize the sites by Categories instead of pages.

All old content? Sequestered into some place somewheres until I can fix it. Maybe.

Yeah, still here. Been busy making a move and getting an upgrade to my Internet connection. What was once 8m/.5m is now 12m/1m, with 22m boost at the beginning.

It’s nice.

New blog theme. My i7 Theme is cool, but I wanted a change. I’m considering that project done and I’ll get finalized code out there sometime.

I’ll be back round later to make sure the website hasn’t burned down. HA!

I need to just rebuild the box, but time doesn’t permit that right now.

Sorry for the outage, folks!

I am trying to move Inanis.net to a new platform and I can’t seem to get the MySQL permissions to work correctly. I use the command mysqldump -u root --all-databases  > filename.sql to dump the data from the old box and something similar to pop it into the new box. I then copy my entire web directory (all the php apps like wordpress and mediawiki sit there) into the same location on the new box. I navigate to any of the web apps and get complaints about the webapps’ permission being denied because my damn SQL username/password combos are invalid.

So, isn’t this -all-databases trick supposed to dump the entire frigging system state, or does it do everything but users and permissions? If the case is the latter, that is the most asinine, inane thing I have seen in a while.

Or maybe I’m just dumb, tired, old, inexperienced or a mix of them all. Maybe I just forgot to do a FLUSH PRIVILEGES after my import- I dunno.

Leave ideas in the comments. Right now, I must go to sleep and dream about another day sitting behind a desk making money, all the while desiring just to get home to the SO and watch Jeopardy.

In other news, I updated my Wiki software a week or so ago for the Computer Museum and Lego thing to fix some security issues in the software. What I forgot to do was to put back in the setting that prevents unregistered edits from the Wikis . .. and then they got spammed by WikiSpamBots. I put the setting back and removed the spam. Meh.

Life goes on. We live, we learn.

When I get time, I ll get back to your posts, emails, comments and hopefully get the final touches done on Inanis Glass 1.2+ (or 1.3? I don’t know what version number I’m going to use.)

The hardware will be replaced shortly.

UPDATE:

#define EPIPE           32 /* Broken pipe */

A process gets EPIPE when it tries to write to a pipe (or socket) when the process at the other end has closed the connection.

Bad network card? Bad network equipment between the server and the Internet? More things to look into.

UPDATE 2: Server hardware replaced. Seems much faster and more stable now, but I think there is a firewall and/or switch issue causing dropped connections to the server. This is somewhat out of my control but I will stay on top of it…

Sometimes, the best way to test something is to just get in and drive.
