Weblog entry #223 for Steve

Site migration notes...

SO this site has now moved to Bytemark's BigV platform, and on the whole it is working properly.

This is a brief list of things that I've spotted:

  • IPv6 support has gone away, until I route a /64 to the VLAN that holds these machines.
  • The site-search is broken.
  • Comment IDs on articles aren't working as expected
    • Because of the master-master MySQL setup.

There have been a flurry of spam sign-ups, made possible because I disabled the registration CAPTCHA - these seem harmless since they'll be prevented from submitting comments when they try.

Finally, on the admin-side, I need to implement cluster-wide blacklisting of malicious IPs. I figure I'll use rsync to sync a master-blacklist around, or something similar.

If this is how it will end up then it's fine :)
