Server Help Needed

[Elton]

Think I've sussed why; the access details I have here aren't high enough.

If anyone else is reading this and has the knowledge to chip in, then I would be extremely grateful. I'm in the familiar situation of having to spend days on something that I struggle to comprehend, simply because I have no money to pay an expert. Si was helping, but he currently has no internet access and probably won't until after the date I need this done by.

 

Put simply, when we had all the problems with Anglers' Net before, I bought two new servers. Si moved Anglers' Net onto one and started moving my other sites onto the other. The job isn't complete and I have until 22nd July to do it. Until it's done, I will be unable to do any work on here. I'm not saying that as a whinge - it's just a fact. These sites are extremely important.

 

Once it's done, I'm going to work my butt off to ensure that in a year's time, if i ever need anything like this sorted again, I have the money to pay someone else to sort it

 

tia,

Hi Elton

 

here's a good guide to creating a backup using tar:

Have a read, Ithink it covers all you need to know, but after reading it feel free to ask any questions you wish

or here is a really neat way of doing what you need. It will allow you to create a "backup" from your current server to the new one, maintaining file permissions into the bargain

 

'tis fairly technical, but well written

Sorry Elton, no help on the server front I'm afraid. On the money side of things I've just ordered a load of stuff from your Amazon link though !

[Elton]

LOL Cheers, mate. Much appreciated The Amazon side has been virtually dead since Christmas.

 

Nick's going to have a crack at the server stuff later.

I've just ordered a wireless router/firewall and a USB adapter from the Anglersnet Amazon Store

 

 

Wish me luck!

OOOps!

 

Just checked the above link to ensure it was right, started browsing around, and ended up buying a 4 port High Speed USB 2.0 hub.

 

(My 7 port Belkin hub is a bit slow for some devices)

 

 

Then I saw something else that looks cool ................

Amazon's a terrible place isn't it Leon ? You go in looking for one thing and they hit you with the 'people who bought this also looked at this' line and you go 'ohhhh, that looks good' and end up buying it. Can't knock the service though, they've never let me down once.
