Jamroom Hosting - looking for a few beta testers

Ken_Rich:Oh - I see the import tool doesn't look too hard. While it's transferring does the site stay up in the old location?

Then when it's fully transferred and we are sure it's up and running right, I just switch nameservers and wait for the DNS to resolve?

Do I have it straight?

Yes to both.

Haven't got around to checking your JR4 install yet - Hopefully tomorrow.

Quote:I don't see any instructions on how to migrate from present host to that server. How is that accomplished, or do you just need FTP access or something?

Make coffee, click once, sit back, drink coffee and wait ;-)

When you are on the page you want to edit, click on the 'Edit This Page' button, bottom left. Editable panels and tools will appear.

Its pretty easy - Just click on the server icon top left, select SFTP protocol, fill in the Host, Port, User and Password from the values seen in your server Control Panel (the one here on Jamroom) and off you go.

davej56:Oh, and Paul. I tried the delete domains on my songpress.net to see if it would delete the installation, and it didn't. It just deleted the domain name. Don't know if that's how you intended it to work or not.

Works for me - deleted a domain in the Hosting Control Panel, checked the /home/jamroom/sites folder with Filezilla, the site has gone.

Quote:Mind you, I can use Filezilla to access my c-panel, see my files, do bulk transfers, edit if I have to - though I prefer the c-panel File system editor for making changes at the file level. Is SFTP a similar type of access to what Filezilla provides in a c-panel setting?

If you have Filezilla you can do SFTP ('Secure' File Transfer Protocol). When you have created a JR server you'll see the server IP address, its username, password and port number in the hosting control panel. Just set Filezilla up with that to upload/download files to the server.

Ken - You are definitely not going to get cPanel with our hosting but you are able to SFTP to your server. Also, our hosting is for Jamroom sites only. It might be theotetically possible to upload a 'straight html' site to a domain created on our server, but we certainly wouldn't support it, or any issues that it might cause. Brian would have to comment on what our policy is on that.

I think it might be best to import your JR4 site prior to any move to our servers. I have a couple of concerns about that and will talk to you directly about it.
Thanks

Are you saying that you can't delete the domains? I see the delete buttons next to them. Do they not work.
If you really want to start from scratch, delete the domains then delete the server. You can then spin up a new one and start again.

Hi Dave
Have just taken a look and it seems fine to me. When you create a Jamroom server, one instance of JR gets installed automatically. You then added a domain which creates the second one tied to the domain.
You can delete the original install if you like, or maybe keep it as a sandbox site?
