Media Temple | Grid Server

I began the process of migrating my site to Media Temple’s new (gs) Grid-Server hosting plan. It’s faster, more scaleable, better, stronger, etc, etc. I’ve been waiting for this for a while now, as I have a few clients that want sites and I was waiting for Media Temple to roll this out before we began the process. We will see how it goes, but it should be just what the doctor ordered.

So as of October 19th my site is now running on Media Temple’s new Grid Server back end and everything went pretty smooth for the most part. WordPress tranfered over perfectly but Gallery2 did not. My data directory (i.e. the one that has all the photos and videos in it) did not come across (at least I couldn’t find it) but I’m sure the folks at MT will fix me up soon… The performance of my web site has suffered a tiny little bit (I use fasterfox’s built in page load timer as a benchmark) but I have not turned on my RR container and have spent no time tweaking things such as my php.ini file and other toys I never had before. Overall it went very smooth and I’m sure things will get better, as more people migrate over and MT platform’s get’s more mature…

As of October 20th, MT has helped me work through my issues (yes they were my issues really and one I figured it out it was easy to fix) and now everything is fully functional again… Yahoo!

  • i’m having the same problem! though i work with joomla.

    i can’t get the gallery to come up.

    it usually is at http://1000snaps.jjdan.com.gallery2 but is sending me to an upgrader that i’m afraid of going through because it might alter my alterations i’ve made to my existing gallery.

    if you can help me out i’d much appreciate it.
