WordPress-MU and ReviewBoard migrated to new VM

Posted by Florent Thoumie on November 19, 2010 Comments Off

I’ve just finished the migration of WordPress-MU and ReviewBoard over to the new VM (hosted by Your.org). Let me know if you notice anything that’s broken.

Thanks to Kevin Day for creating the VM!

PS: If you can’t reach either of blogs.freebsdish.org or reviews.freebsdish.org, then the old CNAME haven’t expired yet (TTL was set to 8 hours). Try again later.

FreeBSD Blogs and Planet FreeBSD

Posted by Florent Thoumie on January 14, 2010 Comments Off

First, I’d like to apologize for the extended downtime planet freebsd has suffered in the past three weeks. The server was back up a few days ago but the issues I’ve been experiencing since early december were still present. The load on the box was insanely high all the time for very little traffic.

I’ve finally managed to find what was causing it and it seems to be working properly again (as in, requesting the front page doesn’t take 30 seconds amymore). While I was at it, I upgraded WordPress-MU to the freshly released 2.9.1 (video embedding is now dead easy, there’s a integrated picture editor, ...).

Again, sorry for the inconvenience. Happy reading!

FreeBSD(ish) blogs get some TLC

Quick summary of the changes:

  • WordPress MU updated to 2.7.1

  • Automatic upgrade is fixed now, so hopefully I’ll be upgrading wpmu and the plugins faster from now on

  • K2 theme updated: if you’re planning on using it, I recommend activating Advanced Navigation in K2 options and also use Widgets (both in Appearance menu) or your sidebar will look funny.

  • New plugins: All in One SEO (search engine optimization), Sociable (share on social websites), WPhone (iphone friendly css), Akismet (anti-spam), Twitter (display twitter feeds)

  • Removed plugins: Iwphone (superseded by WPhone)

  • Plugins considered for removal (shout if you want to keep them): Sol-Digg and Sol-Delicious (superseded by Sociable), Spam Karma 2 (superseded by Akismet)

Also I’m having issues with bundled OpenID delegation support, so I’ll keep the third-party plugin for now. As usual, send me an email if you would like new themes/plugins, or if something got broken.
