MySQL String Replace

Posted by Michael Dale on Thu, 26 Oct 2006 4:09 PM

Stuart just moved domains so we wanted to update his entries to link to the correct domain.

The following worked for us:

UPDATE table_name SET column_name = REPLACE(column_name,"original_string","replace_string");

Firefox 2

Firefox 2 is out. Go get it.

I was never a huge fan of firefox on the mac, although this version is much better. It runs fast and it now looks great!

My two browsers of choice are Firefox 2 and Safari 2. Internet Explorer 7 is much better than 6, although I find it a fair bit slower opening tabs that the firefox. Opera is just, well, disappointing. I don't like how it handles tabs, lack of plugins, the interface is poor and it feels slow.

Plus there are security updates for it. Holy crap HP sucks. Their inkjet printers aren't that good anyway.

Akismet Under Load?

Akismet Timeout

I've been getting a few akismet time outs lately which may be one of the reasons why some spam is making it on to this site. I should do a check against that.

It's good to see it finally working with fastcgi. Has been a PAIN to install. I will do a howto at some stage:

Spam

Far too much spam on this site, I'm getting about 100 a day blocked by akismet, although a few are still getting through.

Anyway I've upped the spam level to maximum, meaning that anything detected as spam is not accepted (no comment moderation).

I do need to improve this still.

Migrating Sharepoint

Posted by Michael Dale on Mon, 02 Oct 2006 5:26 PM

Just migrated our two sharepoint sites to the new server. After a bit of digging I found an easy way to do it.

Both our servers are on the same domain so I didn't need to manually create new user details. So here is what I did:

1) On the new server create a new web site
2) upgrade this site to have sharepoint services installed (don't visit the site for now as it will ask for a new template)
3) On the old server run this command (changing the details that suit you)

smigrate -w http://sdp.dalegroup.net -f C:\inetpub\sdp.fwp -u dalegroup\administrator -pw *

4) Copy the fwp files that are created to the new server (I had a few as the sites were large)
5) On the new server run this command (changing the details that suit you)
smigrate -r -w http://sdp.dalegroup.net -f C:\inetpub\sdp.fwp -u dalegroup\administrator -pw *

6) Login and test your site, you will need to add the users back into sharepoint.
7) Update DNS etc
8) Shutdown the old sharepoint server
