ukcider

I’m afraid there’s no actual cider content in this post, it’s about the ukcider website. After months if not years of frustration with the former web hosting company, ukcider.co.uk has now moved to a new host. Migrating the cider wiki site was a job I’d put off for too long, but now its done and I hope the new, carefully researched chosen web hosting company will provide better reliability, possibly faster performance and certainly less exorbitant fees. For users of the site there shouldn’t have been any noticeable disruption after the downtime last weekend, and all user accounts and logins have been transferred across exactly as they were. The only likely glitch could be with images that have been uploaded to the wiki ( not the ones embedded from uk cider on flickr) because the mediawiki directory hierarchy for storing media files is convoluted and most of the permission had to be corrected manually. This means there could be one or two pictures which I missed, in which case you can either upload them again or let me know the page in question and I’ll try to find them and fix it. The version of mediawiki remains the same, but the host’s PHP and mySQL are more recent versions. Do let me know if there are any related problems with this blog too, which has also moved along with the domain.

Now back to making cider and expanding the online cider and perry expertise at www.ukcider.co.uk
