Working on moving

I am currently in the process of moving the server to a VPS on dailyvps.co.uk.


I've had the account there for a while to assess the stability, and as far as I can tell, we can expect somewhere in the range of 6-8 yearly downtimes of 4-5 hours each. This is better than at our current server, where router issues have blocked access to port 80 on several occasions, sometimes for days.


There are quite a lot of different services to move:

websites

databases

subversion repo

users


Most of the major setup of the target server has been completed - updating of php version, for instance, was quite tricky due to no readily available version of php5 for centOS on an x64 architecture. However, I'm pressed for time, and the server move will have to fit in my schedule along with family and work.


That last sentence basically meant: I'll get to it ;)
