can do for PLUG, but *we* need to do it.

I think we should regularly get OS and application updates, especially
security updates.

It would also be great to get new functionality when it becomes available.

I honestly don't care what we run ( as long as it's Free Software ). What

 Please do not read into my historical defensive statements related to the
upgrades for the Drupal 24X7 application.


 To whom? :)

 ( BTW, this isn't directed directly at you or anybody else. Indeed, your
 successful server build workshop is proof that you are helping PLUG. )


Please, we are a comUNITY, and Hans, runs it as a one man show
because he has had to.


 I have delegated it and it hasn't happened. The upgrades that did
 happen were because I finally took time to do the upgrades. Others have
 helped with site or OS maintenance ( specifically Alex, Larry, Brian,
 Jason, Lisa, Dennis, Ryan and Andrew ( and probably others ) ), but Drupal
 updates languished.


They languished because there was a specification (retention of function or
feature or data) that would be lost with the change in modules and version:

Cannot do recurring events in Drupal 6.x yet.
Hans expressed a need to keep the archeological dig that are all the past
events,
which I agree exist of a valuable historical footprint of PLUG through
the years.

This is a 24X7  application; only the very highest most experiences Linux
engineers, and developers, working under a very cohesive change control
schedule with spares are competent to be able to integrate an update
without
extensive downtime, and ensure we can immediately roll back.

We all have extremely overloaded schedules, so coordination of our skills
takes a full time project manager.  Hans is successful because he chooses
this most rewarding investments with his time.


 As before, the key with moving to Joomla! is with the stipulation that I

I SERIOUS disagree with moving to Joomla!  I have a few Joomla out there,
and
it's just not going to meet our needs.

REALLY the blame game is useless; it did not happen because it was not the
right time.

I apologize for starting this dialogue.

Let's instead discuss 501c Nonprofit status for the PLUG -- any volunteers
to do that for us?



 I think we should regularly get OS and application updates, especially
 security updates.

 It would also be great to get new functionality when it becomes available.

Exact Error is:

Failure to connect to your MySQL database server. MySQL reports the
following message: *Too many connections*.

   - Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
   - Are you sure that you have typed the correct database hostname?
   - Are you sure that the database server is running?

For more help, see the Installation and upgrading
handbookhttp://drupal.org/node/258.
If you are unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your
hosting provider.

I doubt that this was due to Hans upgrading it!

There were also unauthorized ssh access from Russia; I recommended the
server be rebuilt, after full forensics on the logs and server and replacing
the old debian insecure SSL.   I rebuilt an old 1 U server that they had for
the purposes of replacing the web server/installation, but the ball was
dropped somewhere with a human bandwidth issue with Hans.

That CMS had a great many Drupal security updates that I recommended we
update, but Hans did not authorize the work then, wanting to keep legacy
functions in some of the tools that were obsolete in 6.0.  The Drupal
version was an upgraded 4 with a core patch and many modules that would not
be compatible.  A complete plan was created, and I installed the replacement
Drupal in another directory running concurrently on another port 81.  The
balll was dropped on that cut-over as well, because Hans didn't want to lose
all those years of content.

I often found the site with the databases curiously rolled back to old edits
and reported those errors.

I am not on the disaster recovery team; and my bandwidth is limited
(especially after already doing all this work/engineering),  but if you need
any help give me a call.

It might just be a database overrun issue with the repeat date functions
(which were dropped with that code module due to thrashing like this).  If
that's so, one simply has to roll back to the last dump and it should
continue to run until next time.  I don't think anything but the best, most
state of art Drupal installation should be in place for a Linux group, but
that's just me.

Most of the problems regarding the current site are due to

The hard drive on the server has a rather unfortunate partition layout

mysql freaked out and quit  that's all, and it's all fixed now.


A new server will to be swapped in rather soon, and we'll make sure that

 Hello All,

 The site is undergoing a migration to a new CMS, if memory serves,
 Drupal is not going to run the next www.plug.phoenix.az.us.
 Most of the problems regarding the current site are due to
 administrative cruft that has built up over the years - that and
 upgrading Drupal has never been an easy or simple matter.

 Well, Drupal's upgrades are getting better, depending on your capabilities.

ALL CMS have security issues; Drupal less than others...

Content is generally not expected to be carried on for 10 years and 3
revisions of Drupal, now was it?

The content could be migrated manually with a few mysql queries and manual
table populations, but it's not going to be displayed the same without the
Event Repeat Module (which is currently still under code development for
Drupal 6 and 7 [and not stable under 5 - which the plug-site runs on]).

I have a LOT of drupal, Joomla, Wordpress, vTiger, and few trillion others,
with Ubercart, etc.  It's a trade-off really, just like the inane arguments
over which distro is better

Drupal and any CMS is only as good as the developer, and those without
experience with a tool, tend to search for another and bash it, usually
going away in the volunteering process.  Laugh!


 thus a further migration.

I still cut up partitions on my big boxes into /var /usr /tmp /home and /.
 Dynamic partitions alerting at about 75% full, static ones at about 90%,

 The site is undergoing a migration to a new CMS, if memory serves,
 Drupal is not going to run the next www.plug.phoenix.az.us.
 Most of the problems regarding the current site are due to
 administrative cruft that has built up over the years - that and
 upgrading Drupal has never been an easy or simple matter.

 Well, Drupal's upgrades are getting better, depending on your
 capabilities.

 ALL CMS have security issues; Drupal less than others...

 Content is generally not expected to be carried on for 10 years and 3
 revisions of Drupal, now was it?

 The content could be migrated manually with a few mysql queries and manual
 table populations, but it's not going to be displayed the same without the
 Event Repeat Module (which is currently still under code development for
 Drupal 6 and 7 [and not stable under 5 - which the plug-site runs on]).

 I have a LOT of drupal, Joomla, Wordpress, vTiger, and few trillion others,
 with Ubercart, etc.  It's a trade-off really, just like the inane arguments
 over which distro is better

 Drupal and any CMS is only as good as the developer, and those without
 experience with a tool, tend to search for another and bash it, usually
 going away in the volunteering process.  Laugh!


 thus a further migration.
