Month: January 2017

That was hard.

Well, it could have been worse. At least this site and everyone’s usernames were transferred correctly.

I won’t bore you with the details, but basically this required two nights of very little sleep to get migrated to the new server. In a couple days, the old one will be turned off, and you shouldn’t  notice, but I’m running them in parallel for the time being in case I really need to fall back.
As you can see, the media here is, let’s say.. lacking. I still have a few folders to transfer over, but as soon as I can (read: today), I’ll get them moved over as well.

Next project is to get this renamed from “cheesewatergames.tk” to “cheesewatergames.net”. That should be exciting…

Edit: Content moved over. The site is pretty again and you should be able to download everything.

Let’s first address the elephant in the room:
No outage occurred over the week that I had promised.
Why?I had some hardware configuration headaches with the new server that I needed to get sorted first. The good news is that it’s now up and running as a secondary server, and I’m in the process of slowly moving things over. Luckily, according to the WordPress docs, the process for migrating a WP site from one server to another is as simple as copy/paste. I doubt it will truly be that simple in practice, but hey, I’ll try whatever.
Perhaps this weekend I’ll find time to finally migrate everything once and for all.
