Been testing out the copy to the other server with another IP address and it all works and nothing is pointing to the old IP that I can see.

Did install some plug in for search/replace and I did it and the screen just went wight and stayed there. I got years of WordPress so my database is big. I guess it could not handle it.

Seems like TextPad worked real good. Because it’s big it took it a little time to load in TextPad. Like 30 sec. I guess.

Now if I could just auto have it copy each days post to the other server for a very nice backup.

Right now I can do it by hand just copy and paste each day.

I backed up WordPress up with this command:

root@ubuntu-i3:/boot# rsync -av --progress /usr/share/wordpress [email protected]:/media/256GB_as_One

It said this:

sent 35,561,317,765 bytes  received 233,194 bytes  9,535,206.05 bytes/sec
total size is 35,551,744,255  speedup is 1.00

Like I said with the data base I used Webmin. So easy to save it. Then I open that file with TextPad and did a find replace off all the http and then restored that on my other server on the 192.168.2.125 on my LAN. I can go to https://192.168.2.125/blog now and it works just like my other one now. So I love to keep it all the same as I type in my main WordPress. It be a nice backup for it.

This would be a easy way to move WordPress to some other URL. TextPad does it fast replacing to a new URL.

In your router you have to do port forwording. Tell it to port forword port 80 to the IP of you LAN WordPress that should start like 192.168.x.x It’s not your private IP like you said but your LAN what you said private is WAN.

Then you can go to your WAN IP and get on. See what you IP is just look on Google for find my IP or something. Then type in https:// and that xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/blog WAN IP. blog would be your WordPress what every you named it’s folder.

Inside WordPress you my have to change some settings to tell it your WAN IP. But if that changes you would have to change WordPress again.

You could get something like no-ip and run a little program noip2 to tell it if your IP changes to let all the DHCP servers know what it changed to.

You could do other computers on your LAN but you would have to have some other port. The defalt web port is 80.

I guess you are not logged in as root. or just do sudo 777 file name or folder.

Wow thanks Jan Dembowski. I don’t get why the phpBB message board on it can do it both ways then. I can go to my WWW no-ip address and it’s LAN name. Both work.

I did make a /etc/wordpress/config-small2.php file and I can go to:

https://small2/blog/wp-login from there and type in my name and password but it just hangs then.

I can just go to https://small2/blog and it shows up. I just can’t log in like that.

I all so have the no-ip address in /etc/wordpress folder.

-Raymond Day

This my help a link to a photo I have of the phpsysinfo screen of this Tonidoplug2 I have running in this home with port 80 open so I can use it on the Web. But like I said it be nice to log in on it’s LAN address too.

Click this link to see neat info on it.

-Raymond Day

O I guess I should say what it’s running on. A Tonidoplug2.

root@small2:~# cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Debian
DISTRIB_RELEASE=6.0
DISTRIB_CODENAME=squeeze
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Debian Squeeze"
root@small2:~#

I am sure the server I running it on is to slow. Because it will work on a small image. It’s just the bigger size ones.

I hope there is a way to give WordPress more time to process a photo.

-Raymond Day

I got it fixed. All I had to do was all so copy my /wp-content/themes over.

I looked on Google for WordPress blank page that helped.

-Raymond Day

I like started over and renamed my WordPress folder then did a “pacman -S wordpress” set it up with a new database and all works. As soon as I restore my database from the other server and edit the wp-config.php of the name of that database and edit the siteurl and home to the new server. It will like show some new and old database stuff and going over links some how it still wants to go to the old server. It must be in the data base someplace were it’s getting that.

-Raymond Day

Yes you are right have to install the php-gd Apache module but you did not say how. As root or sudo do:

apt-get install php5-gd

Then:

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

At lest on Ubuntu server.

-Raymond Day

Fixed the playing of others. Just have to add like player01 and player01 in the code like this:

<div id='mediaspace'> to <div id='player01'>

Same with the so.write('mediaspace');

So it’s not as easy as adding a photo to WordPress. This code would all so work in just a webpage to play flash video.

-Raymond Day

I found a way to add a image on top of the video so it will not be just black but the start image of the video. Here is the code after I put some files on my server:

<script type='text/javascript' src='../video/swfobject.js'></script>

<div id='mediaspace'>When I got to work Sunday 082309</div>

<script type='text/javascript'>
  var so = new SWFObject('../video/player.swf','ply','320','240','9','#ffffff');
  so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
  so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
  so.addParam('wmode','opaque');
  so.addVariable('file','../video/uploads/2009/08/When I got to work Sunday 082309.flv');
  so.addVariable('controlbar','over');
  so.addVariable('image','../video/uploads/2009/08/When I got to work Sunday 082309.jpg');
  so.addVariable('link','../blog');
  so.addVariable('displayclick','link');
  so.addVariable('screencolor','FFFFFF');
  so.addVariable('autostart','false');
  so.write('mediaspace');
</script>

But when I add a 2ND one on some other day post and it all shows on the same HTML page then one video will not show up. It’s like it’s gone. So looks like can put this code 2 times on the same web page.

Can any one see in the code if something is wrong whey it can’t show 2 diffint videos on the same web page?

I can use FileZilla on port 22 to connect to my server with SFTP but WordPress just says:

Error: There was an error connecting to the server, Please verify the settings are correct.

I have FTPS (SSL) seleteced. But SFTP and FTPS don’t mach so I guess it’s on some other port then 22. I guess that’s that error. Is this right?

-Raymond Day

I get this too. It auto fills in the Hostname and Username. I put in my WordPress Password and have FTPS (SSL) check and I do have 990 port open. But when I click Proceed it comes back with:

Failed to connect to FTP Server and my Hostname. but it don’t say FTPS I don’t have the FTP open.

I even put in my IP not the name but it still does a connect error.
