Moving Servers Again
Moving Servers Again
So I moved servers again. I've been getting ready to re-launch my new blog since Jan 1 (I know, I know), and this is now the 3rd server I've been on.
I still cannot get wordpress to work correctly because of the hosting environment.
I've been on the web since 1995 on a Microsoft server because of my .asp format, but now want to blend the .asp (Microsoft) with .php (Linux). The last server I was on was not processing my .htaccess file resulting in broken permalinks.
... oh, by the way, this has NOTHING to do with health, fitness or fat loss, it's a purely technical post to test the changes in FTP for publishing with blogger.
So today I upgrade to Wordpress 2.5 which goes quite smoothly, but when testing the permalinks, they're still broken. A call to technical support tells me that the .htaccess file is not being processed because it's a microsoft box. ???? WTF?
I just moved to this server because it was supposed to be a linux installation which would process both my .asp files and the new .php files from Wordpress.
The "general manager" who personally handled the move to this new server said that they bought the server and the Plesk control panel just for my website. I'm the only one on it - except it doesn't work.
I have to wait until he's back in the country before I can speak with him (two more days), and if I can't work this out, I have to move again.
Know any hosts that run a Linux box, process .asp files, have storage and bandwidth that match MidPhase? leave a comment.
ok, here goes... testing the ftp settings for blogger.
... the saga continues

Have you tried A2 Hosting? (a2hosting.com) They're on Apache servers, and they have WordPress as part of their Fantastico package--it works great for me. Dirt-cheap, too.
Thanks Dana, I'll have a look.
They have to be able to process Microsoft .asp pages as well AND handle my traffic as well as traffic spikes.
I'll have a look. I'm in discussions with my own hosts right now about a solution.
I was supposed to be moved to an apache server and ended up on a microsoft somehow. Still waiting to speak to the GM
