#Ralphus gimp download

There is a way of downloading backups of some of the files directly from file manager, but it was impossible to download the ' files' and other folders directly. We decided to start with the gimpforum folder, where the entire forum is. We managed to FTP into to download a backup of the entire site. If the regular visitors to the GIMP forum are reading this, then it's time for some pass the blame action. The possibilities will be endless.īelow, how our computer screens look like these days. We're moving everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. We're moving to a better, modern, secure hosting service, and it's no longer a matter of just setting an app and make it run. All I had to do was set it up in the website, and work in its design. The second time, when the GIMP was hacked, what I ended up doing was setting up a forum, instead of the guestbook, that app was no longer in existence. The first time we got involved in the GIMP site, when Amy reconstructed the site in the way it was, with the guestbook set up, all she had to do was set that app and get it to run.

I only saw stuff like that in movies or television shows where the geeks are working on code and all you see is code running up the screen making things happen. even the old site that was hacked and that's because we're resetting codes. We will end up reproducing the entire GIMP site back in the new site. YES! We're actually reading and working with code. When you move the created website, you have to make sure that the data will work correctly and to insure that you have to get into the code itself. When you set up a website in a server, the applications you use, like Wordpress, do most of the work, they help you design it, format it and so on.

Backing up the entire site is a long process. The GIMPs home,, is/was hosted on a very old platform, so it's difficult to work with it because of its limitations. We use three separate applications to work those details and that's before we upload the files to the new hosting plan. They have all the information that has to be connected so the website will behave exactly the same as it was in the old home if not better.

One very important issue is the migrating of the databases, something like the nerves that connect the brain to the body. Too many details have to be worked out in order to migrate the websites to their new home, a more secure home. The upgrading of our websites is going interestingly well. I'll put some updates there, hopefully for only a few days: I set up a temp forum at rfpix, our old domain that we're not using for now, we're setting something up there. We were getting an average of 50 new registrations a day and only one or two were legit. In addition, we'll have to set up the forum in a a more complex and secure way. If we want to avoid this problem again we'll need unlimited capacity. The GIMP Forum grew a lot in one year with so many posts and tons of images.

The solution is to upgrade the plan, of course, and the one person that can do that is Ralphus. There are two ways of solving this, eliminating data, which it is not recommended in my view, or upgrade the hosting plan, which might mean a lot of work because in my experience, when you upgrade your hosting service what you are doing is creating a new site and you have to migrate the entire old site to the new one which includes many steps.

It gets worse, I couldn't optimize it, nor could I set up an alternative way of communicating other than an index.html page.

#Ralphus gimp full

Once the disk is full the entire thing stops and we get an 1142 error. I was under the impression that it was unlimited, but even if the hosting service says 'unlimited space' it does not apply to MySQL. It's an internal issue with MySQL disk capacity.
