No Upgrade (Yet)!

No Upgrade (Yet)!

I’ve decided to wait to upgrade this system to the latest release of Post-Nuke. The most recent release has not been very smooth, so we will not upgrade this site until some of the rough spots are smoothed out.

I didn’t know whether to do this or not…but what the heck…my thoughts on this past weekend (now that I have a moment to catch my breath). I must say first of all that, despite how excited I was to do the weekend, I was…

Some behind-the-scenes changes…

In anticipation of upgrading to the newest release (0.701) of PostNuke, our Content Management System, I have made some behind-the-scenes changes to the way that the Main Menu works.

Users should notice no functional differences, and will see that there is a new option, Who Is Online, for you to play with. This feature displays the username of registered users who are currently on the system, or IP addresses if they’re not registered.

Another system upgrade, this one easier…

Another system upgrade caused me to reboot the system today, after 12+ days of uptime.

I upgraded the Apache server, the kernel (the core of the operating system), the mail handler and assorted tools, the mail reader, some modules for the new Apache, and a few security fixes to some other files.

THIS time, I remembered to adjust my LILO links before I rebooted, so it was a very painless process.

In addition to the upgrades indicated above, I also switch some hard drive settings that nearly doubled the speed of the hard drives. Users should notice a speed increase when using the system, since drive time has, effectively, been taken out of the equasion.

As always, if you notice anything unusual while you’re using the system, please let me know.

UPDATE 05-Dec-2001: Updated to 1.2.4 of the Photo Gallery software we use.
