That has all ended, I now have my own server up and running and am migrating things over to the new box.

The new server is running Windows 2003. Next will be a Linux server.

Today I successfully installed and configured:

  • Apache 2.0.58
  • PHP 5.1.4
  • MySQL 5.0
  • hMailServer
  • RoundCube Webmail Client
  • MS SQL 2000
  • IIS 6.0

I was able to reinstall WordPress, restore the mySQL database, and my blog is now up and running on the new server.

I decided to upgrade the version of DNN I was using for my business site. I’m playing with DNN4 now, trying to decide if I want to continue with DNN. That’s tomorrows task.

After some research by a friend of mine I decided to give WordPress a try.  So here it is, yet another effort at blogging and posting thoughts on the net, for the world to see.  Here’s to hoping this last longer than previous efforts!
