Drupal migration, part two

Published by stintel

After migrating my blog to Drupal, the old Wordpress style URL's were broken, as explained here. At that time, I was trying to fix them with mod_rewrite, but didn't succeed.

Website performance issues

Published by stintel

If you recently visited my website (let's say in the last two or three days), you might have noticed some performance issues. It seems I didn't pay that much attention to the MySQL binary logging configuration, when I enabled this feature so that I could do point-in-time recovery in case something goes wrong.

In /etc/mysql/my.cnf, I had these options related to binlogging:

[mysqld]
log_bin = /var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.log
expire_logs_days = 10
max_binlog_size = 100M

Drupal migration

Published by stintel

As you might have already noticed, I recently migrated my blog from WordPress to Drupal.

I used the WP2Drupal to import all WordPress posts from my old blog into my new Drupal-based website. It worked pretty good, except for some images that were missing, and some stuff showed up that didn't belong in posts, like Captcha text. After enabling some modules, I manually added the missing images, and while at it, I also removed text that got lost ;-)

Wordpress app for iPhone

Published by stintel

Monday I upgraded my iPhone to the 2.0 firmware, so now I can use apps from the App Store. Fancy and all ;-)

So, I was browsing through the available applications, when I found the WordPress app. Installed it (it's free), and started writing this post.

Nice app, now I can blog anytime, anywhere. Hehe :-)

Yay! My first blog entry :-)

Published by stintel

Hi all, and welcome to my blog. As you can see, this is my first blog entry.

Because my colleague Fred kept asking where he could find my blog, I quickly setup one ;-) I'll try to blog some stuff here from time to time, but I don't promise anything :-)

Cheers
Stijn
