Move completed

The situation seems to be stable, it hasn't gone very smoothly and we've suffered some painful informational losses from the last day's edits, but we've done ok overall considering that the initial problem was a completely spontaneous and irrecoverable loss of all the data on the server. And what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger - so the new installation is a much more efficient and portable way of maintaining many wiki's of different versions along with the backup and distribution of their data. And soon we'll have an in-wiki interface to creating, removing and adjusting configuration on them all.

Deja Vu: New VPS up and running

Well we're back up and running yet again. Unfortunately the VPS Land experience was very bad! first they took 50 hours to set up our server, and then after less than a day it had crashed and was not accessible or rebootable. They took more than ten hours to respond to tell me that we needed to upgrade to more RAM.

We're now on VPS Link which I've set up and used before for a client and found it to be very good. I've had to remove our memcached server since it uses too much RAM (which is probably what helped to totally crash the last VPS).
