Update: Apparently, despite my usage of FeedBurner, Planet.cs.dal.ca chokes on my site being back up. Apologies to everyone this effects.

So…... a while back, I switched my friend Jon over to Typo, on a new server I am splitting with some friends. It was always my intention to switch my own instance over at some point, but it usually came down to “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”.

Well, it turns out that I recently DID break things, since Typo trunk is labelled ‘unstable’ and I didn’t pay attention to this fact when updating it. Ooops. So, I finally had the incentive to move things over and accomplish a number of goals.

Renumbering entries so I could properly redirect my old Wordpress URLs to the new Typo entries (I had to hack away at the Typo => Wordpress script to not change the IDs)
Write the actual mod_rewrite rule to properly do the above¹
Set up proxying using Apache and Mongrel, as opposed to Lighttpd and FastCGI (I haven’t had any complaints so far).

Everything seems ok so far. I might have lost a few comments, and a few other things I have done (I remember trimming down the categories at some point), but hey, those are small items in the grand scheme of things that I can fix up at my leisure.

¹ It looks like the below:

  RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} p=([^&;]+)
  RewriteRule ^/$ http://yourdomainhere/articles/read/%1? [R=301,L]

Crazy Or Genius?: Tag mongrel
