Server move successful

On February 2, 2010 I finally completed the server move to the new co-location facility. I had, in the prior weeks, backup all data and files, did a clean install of the operating system and restored all functionality to the server. The new facility will not only help achieve faster load times, but a much better environment for the server than sitting at my house under my desk. With this move you all should notice faster page load, better usability and the RSS feeds hopefully will load and refresh across the Net faster.

Server Going Offline For A Few Hours

Sometime within the next week I will be taking this server offline so I may perform some system maintenance and upgrades. At that time, I will also be locating it in a new data center so the actual speed will be what it should be and the performance should be increased dramatically.

There will be many system updates taking place at that time – some of them will include a complete Linux upgrade, Wordpress upgrades, database upgrades and more. Most of these items will be performed in multitude to lessen the down time.

Once all the upgrades are done, within a day or two after I will be moving the server to a new data center. This will allow the server to operate at a fast connection, with much more ability to serve the growing needs of several blogs and other sites hosted on it.

Update To New Server

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

Well, as you can tell, I have placed a few adsense blocks on the site. Have to try monetization at least a bit to offset the cost of the server.

Things seem to have gone pretty smoothly, and I am getting reports that the site load time is pretty decent, so that is a plus. I have most of the plug-ins I use reinstalled and configured, minus one or two of them that I chose to wait a bit on. One of the nice things is, with the new server I have access to more updated software, which allows more functionality for use in the blog and other areas.

HTTPD processes update

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Last night after posting the previous post, I noticed that the httpd processes till consumed resources, but not near as much as before. This leads me to believe that the RPC ping process that is controlled via PHP scripting is somehow spawning the child httpd processes that are causing the slow downs on the server.

As I have said, I am not too worried about it at this point, because I will be delivering the new server sometime in the next two weeks, so I won’t have to worry about it after that.

Ping list updated – test post

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

I have removed all the URLs in my ping list and will now post this and check the CPU utilization during and after the post to see where the httpd process ends up. It seems odd that posting would cause this, but nothing else on the server causes this, including other Wordpress installations. The only difference that I know of outside of a few plugins is the ping list contents.
