Minor glitches on startup
There were still a few gltches in accessing the vmswiki, but it was fairly easy so find the cause: A wrong logical diskname for the LD-device holding Python and moinmoin (the wiki software) and a typo in defining moin_static – that I define as a searchlist, so I don’t have to move around with files when installing a new moinmoin version….
After that was settled and repaired, the wiki works like before – a slow starter but once started, pretty fast.
Blogs more responsive
The blogs are more responsive as well, and suffer less partial crashes – so far. More important: I have less trouble logging in into the admin pages. I must have cleaned up quite some things in the attempt of updating and reversing the whole activity.
But now I got the answers on what the heck had happened, I coud give it a try once more. In which case I may decide to upgrade WP as well. That normally is easy, no trouble at all, though I’ll have to prepare a thing or two. But every update went nice and smoothly. But I’ll take Mark’s suggestion: have a look first what changed between 5.2 (supplied by HP and ported by Mark Berryman – which is the current version I’m using curently) and 5.3 (as ported by Mark Berryman). Anyway I’ll have to use the version op PHPWASD that comes with this kit…
