Welcome to AMP Shirley!

While checking on something else today, I noticed that Shirley has completed what I would imagine was a pretty tough server move from Windows IIS (yuck!) to a new FreeBSD, Apache, MySQL and PHP box.

Welcome to AMP Shirley! I run the exact same setup. If you are planning a similar move, and in particular if you are using Movable Type as your Weblog system, there are a ton of tips and insights for you on Brainstorms and Raves.

Thanks for the kind comments at your site and the trackback to mine! Yes, it was quite a challenge to make this move. I'm glad my ISP handled the server side of things, as I had my hands full making modifications and reinstalling and testing plugins on my end of things. I do hope what I wrote helps others a bit who face a server move.

Well worth it in my opinion. Running MT under Windows and IIS is frightening, at least to me. That you went into such detail is terrific, so I wanted to help other people facing a similar move find your write-ups about the experience, for obvious reasons. If you need any help with FreeBSD, Apache, MySQL or PHP, just give me a shout, I'd be glad to help.
