README: Site updates and such
Author: Webmaster	December 5, 2002 at 19:46:27

I'd like to respond to the previous post (im doing so in a
new thread in hopes that more people notice it).

As Adam had pointed out - this is not the new
website, this is the new web _server_ (and i dont mean
physically, i mean server software)

These goals have been achived in the past week:

The site(s) is now running on the most recent
version of Apache, with all the bells and whistles a
developer could wish for.
The new installment uses a completely different
directory structure, which makes _everything_ easier - from
updates to backups, security to development.. it's like
christmas!
All of the websites on the server have been migrated to
the new install and the old server software has been taken
offline.

When I finally pushed all of the sites on the system to the
new version of apache - there were alot of things which had
to be rewritten (and in some cases scrapped) to account for
the changes.

IRL and IRL Archive felt these changes the most - as the
way things were being done previously depended a great deal
on the layout.

So the changes you all have seen over the past couple days
are there because so much under the hood has changed. And
all of this is going to be thrown out when the new website
is launched.

The videos will be avaliable again within a day or two -
had I been able to do this my way, I would have had all of
this ready to go beforehand, but it didn't work out that
way.

Sincerely,

- Ted

P.S. Oh, and to answer a question "Why has everything got
'*' new against it?", this is because the pages use the
date of the location/directory which the images/videos are
stored to determine wether or not it is new, and because i
just moved everything... well - it thinks everything is
new. A week from now this wont be the case.
