Yes, I do hate computers

February 18, 2006 By: bio Category: General

Well… not really, but at times they frustrate the hell out of me.

Today is the day that the pixelthugs.com (and all of its sub-domains) get moved off of my box (woody) and onto the servers over at dreamhost.

I had made a backup of each sub-domain, dumped all the mySQL databases, and was in the process of transfering them off of my server so they could be uploaded to the new host.

That’s when the internal NIC on the firewall decided to be a complete bitch and give up the ghost.

So… I’ve spent the last hour trying to get it up again (I’ve messed with the settings, replaced the NIC with an identical one, etc), but it was to no avail. I still can’t get to the webserver from the outside world.

Fuck!

So… I’ve called in the big guns (aka: my friend Jess). He can still get to the firewall and will hopefully be able to figure out WTF is going on.

I’ve already transfered the DNS, so at least mail will start going the right direction (the accounts are all set up). Hopefully… we can get this thing working soon.

UPDATE: we got it working.  Stupid thing!

Now, if I the power company could supply me with electricity that didn’t suddenly cut out in the middle of a huge upload to the new server, I’d be happy (I have a UPS on my server, but not on my workstations).
