Joyent Accelerator Migration

without comments

I just completed migrating this site across to a Joyent accelerator. It was a smooth and seamless migration. All I had to do was check out the site from my subversion repository on the new server, dump the database on the old server and import the data into the database on the new server. Then update the DNS server entries on my domain name registry website. Enable PowerDNS on the new server, then disable PowerDNS on the old server. Wait a couple of minutes for the change to propagate and refresh the browser to see the site running on the new server. I verified this by adding a simple HTML page on the new server to view in my browser. All in all it took a couple of hours.
