|
OK folks, instead of going out hiking this weekend I stayed in and got the new trinity finished! So now the site is running on a different server instead of three different machines 
Let me know if you encounter any difficulties. The database was moved, so please keep an eye out for SQL errors.

Also, be on the lookout for errors when creating new user accounts. It's thoroughly possible that the confirmation e-mails will not get properly sent. That was the one thing I didn't test, so I'm certain it must be broken

I'm sad you didn't get to enjoy the great outdoors  , but the new Trinity feels lightning fast, so it was certainly time well spent! 
Thanks Ed!

Yeah, I'll enjoy the outdoors next weekend It's good to hear that the new gear seems reasonable for people outside of my local network here. The nice thing is that the load averages on the new server are like an order of magnitude less then the old one.
I'm hoping the multiproc setup on the web end will help to make things better when there are multiple simultaneous users. OpenBSD isn't really optimized for multiproc machines, though, so the impact may be minimal.
What's really been speeding it up (at least I think so while I was testing...) is the SCSI Ultra-wide hard drive on it. Mmm...speedy hard drive (salivate). Of course, it may be the case of PBR consumed while setting it up...beer tends to make time go faster.

OK, well, the FAQs seem to be gone. I suspect the database tables need fixing. Good thing I bought more beer, since I may be here a bit longer
I may take a few hours off to watch Seven Samurai.

|
The problem apparently was that the database dump didn't have proper capitalization in the faq module's table names. I fixed the capitalization and now life seems to be good for the FAQ again in both administration and through regular FAQ module. Any external links to specific FAQs or FAQ answers should still work as all the changes were just in the backend.

I agree - there is about 40-45 people on at the moment, and the server is quite snappy.
Great work!
