Web Hosting

Since I was moving out of NJ, I needed to move my website from the server running in my basement to a hosted server. I was able to complete this easily by just moving the my code up to the new web host with a few changes, exported the database and imported it onto the new DB server. Very little else has changed.

Database Upgrade

I made the MySQL back end of my website into a Master-Master Replication setup. I used the directions located here at howtoforge.com to do this setup. It was pretty easy to do and took about 20 minutes with all the VI editing that had to be done. The database that runs this website is being replicated to a second server that could also be setup to be a master since changes at the second server get replicated to the current master too. This would allow me to do a failover, or high availability setup.

CS Server Down

CS server is down for now. I will probably put it back up in due time, but for now it will be off.

Site Updates and New Server

I have done some site updates. I added DTG Links on the right side where I have my Quote link and now a Bad IP Address link. I also add a link to my forum page for my Counter Strike Source server that is running on this same box, but in another VMware machine. Server name is DTG CS:S Server, look it up and join in. The CS server runs very well for being a VMware machine, but no one comes to play unless I have lots of bots. But even then the human players only stay long enough to see that there are only bots playing and leave. If eveyone that comes, stays, then I would have a wonderful server running with lots of people. But for right now its just functional with 2 bots duking it out.

Make some changes

I have given you the ability to see all the quotes in my quote database. Look under the random quote on the right and you will see the link to see 10 quotes at a time or to see the last quote put into the database. I also got all the spammers off my guestbook with a simple question that if not answered correctly will not allow them to post. And I tell you there are a lot of spammers out there still trying to hit me up. I might just start adding IP Address soon to the .htaccess file to stop them from even making it to my website anymore. But, I'll let it ring up their IP Addresses for right now so I can get a bunch to put in to the file. Other than that, I haven't made any changes.
