MENTY PICTUREHOSTER'S ALL FUCKED UP

Sweet banner! YOU'RE SCRAPING THE EARTH!

Here's the wallpaper.

Now that you've moved it, do you think you could maybe, possibly, attemt to try and add a better system for categorization and organizing the user gallery. Like alphabetizing and sub-categories?

I am moving the site to a new server and have had a few problems. I can take you through it step by step if you would like because it's a bit more complicated than just forgetting to pay my bill. hpneutral:


So here goes. The process so far:

When I do server to server transfers I like to do it through command line in SSH since it's far more reliable. WHM never works right. I use puTTY to achieve this.

It's puTTY. Woo.

Since I am moving the site from a shared environment to my dedicated virtual environment (VPS) I only have full root SSH access on my dedicated server. I can only get Jailed SSH access on the shared server due to them not wanting shared users having root access to the server machine for obvious reasons. I requested Jailed SSH access and got it but Jailed SSH access won't allow me to use my preferred method for creating a tarball with the command scripts/pkgacct because Jailed SSH has no access to the root folder and thus no access to the scripts database. This means I had to create a tar.gz rip of my entire Public_Html folder with the

tar - cpzf mydomain02-01-10.tar.gz*

command.

So I did this and then did a standard wget - command through my VPS SSH to move the entire public_html folder over. I then tried to unpack it using a script command (which I can do on my VPS) but since it was not created using the scripts/pkgacct command on the other server it threw up a whole bunch of cpanel failures. I then manually created a new account/cpanel on the new server and manually unpacked the tarball using the tar -xzf mydomain-02-01-10.tar.gz command.

I then moved the contents to the correct folders and I SSHed into the server and acquired root permissions.

I then went to /home/pictureh/public_html.

I used chown -R pictureh0ictureh pictureholder in order to change
ownership of the pictureholder folder and all of its contents.

I then moved everything in pictureholder/ to the public_html by using the following command: mv pictureholder/* ./

This gave me 1 error due to the folder name having another folder with the same name inside of it.

After all this headache I then got a Mysql error and am currently in the process of exporting the mysql database with the
mysql -u username -p dbname < filename.back.dump
mysqldump --opt -u dbuser -p dbname > filename.back.dump commands.

I then need to manually create the Mysql databases and import everything inside. And then hopefully everything will work.

I hope that clears everything up for everyone!

That was going to be my next guess

I've been having the same (DNS-related?) problems with picturehoster.info that I've been having on and off with TK since you moved the site.

I'm not sure if I can do anything to help you besides whining about it constantly, but I'd be glad to try if you need it.

ALL IS NOW WELL WITH THE WORLD

(And Tomtrek's mind).

 

[The Tomtrek]

I wouldn't go that far, Gagh.

 

[CaptainWacky]

If someone told me they could "fix" Tomtrek I would murder that person silently and never let anyone find out.

 

[whisky]

Is it down again, or does it have another url now?

 

[The Tomtrek]

Works for me.

 

[whisky]

Must not have filtered to all DSNs yet.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Maybe you were banned for uploading SHARK PORN.

 

[whisky]

That's where they quite literally jump the shark

 

[Tisiphone]

Can you tap a shark's ass?

 

[whisky]

taint no fin

 

[The Tomtrek]

Ohhhh Menty Menty Menty...

 

[Mentalist]

It's working for me. The server has been reset today so tell me if it works now.

 

[The Tomtrek]

Still doesn't work for me.

 

[CaptainWacky]

WORKS FOR ME!

 

[The Tomtrek]

STILL DOESN'T WORK FOR TOMTREK

 

[Archibald Nixon]

Not for me either. THE COFFEE HAS GROWN COLD
