new userland
so… the site was down for a while, because i couldnt get anything to work when i upgraded the userland
I think that everything crucial to the site is back up and running,
dhclient wouldnt even come up at first, due to new dhcp programming in the -current userland
then named wouldnt start, something to do with the old vs new defaults/rc.conf file (i know, im not supposed to edit that one, but its just so much easier lol)
apache came up no problem
but it couldnt get a connection to mysqld because it wouldnt start, so the blog couldnt come up right
then i finally figured out why mysql wouldnt start, something about the permissions being wrong, so i fixed those
i think all of the problems came from the fact that i cross-compiled the userland in vmware instead of doing it locally, but that would have taken days to accomplish
i couldnt su to root either, for some reason the new /usr/bin/su had the wrong permissions on it as well
so i fixed that
now im in the process of updating all the packages i have installed, so that they are compiled for the new kernel instead of the old 2.0 kernel
the only things that should take the site down are when i recompile php, mysql, and apache to the new versions
yes, this is entirely nerdy, but eh, thats who i am
