I can’t believe it. A month ago my hosting nemesis, Purehost, performed a server upgrade. I sort of read their email about it but did not grasp what they were babbling about when they mentioned this upgrade would improve site performance.
Curious, I checked my dad’s site that I designed and web master for,and saw his old index.html page up. Not good. I guess they somehow put it back. So I took it down. The site ran slow as molasses and you couldn’t login to the blog. Checked the file permissions. They all had wierd capitalized ST’s in them.
WTF?
I uploaded new copies of the same files and the login problem was fixed. But I was logged out if I clicked on any part of the blog functions.Weird. I decided to remove all the session_save_paths I had to put in to make any script with session_start(); work .That did the trick. I removed it from the CMS as well. And now the site is chugging along fast as ever.
Great success!
This makes me wonder if now we can have better stuff for the site.Stuff that works! What a concept.I hope my days of purehost-bashing may be over…we shall see.
