Database Server change
July 4, 2009 |
The MySQL database that runs this web log as well as the databases that I use for ordersofbattle.com and my version control database used by Vault are all now running on my new database server that is running on a Mini-ITX system powered by the Intel Atom CPU.
The only exception so far is my Order of Battle Weblog database which is still running on my old database server because for some reason, I get a HTTP 500 Error when I try and point the Web Server to the new database machine intstead of the old machine (which works fine).
My new web server is running IIS 7 and the logging functionality is much better in that version of IIS than it was in IIS 6, but for some reason I have not yet been able to figure out what the problem is. All I have to do is change the database name in the appropriate PHP file and it gives a 500 Error.
So, until I resolve this, I cannot upgrade my old database server to Windows 2008 and reconfigure it for its new role in life as a Sharepoint Server and back up database and web server.
Hopefully I will be able to sort this out soon.
One nice thing about the Atom CPU is that the one I have has two dual cores so a total of four CPUs instead of two. So, when you view Task Manager in Windows, you see four graphs rather than two which is a bit incongruous in such a small motherboard!
