That was certainly fun. I had my hosting provider move us to one of the new servers. And I had all manner of problems.
For some reason, register.com was still doing DNS for this domain. That's not how it was supposed to be. I'm about 95% sure that I made Hurricane Electric authoritative. I mean, it does no good to ask them to move us to a new server (which obviously will have a new IP address) if they can't change DNS as well, right? I finally got it sorted it. I'm sure the changes haven't stopped propogating. Someone in Korea will get an error. C'est la vie.
The new server runs Apache 2.0. This is nice, but things like server-side includes and CGI scripts work differently. The format of htaccess files has changed a little bit. The database access has changed. Stuff like that.
It should be working now, though. Let me know if you see some busted, ok?
Well, you could have always gone to Space4Rent/S4R/Infosys/ThinkTank/OpSource, I hear they do smooth change overs... :P
