currently, the domain sanfernandocathedral.org is residing on servers owned by a company called Corporate Web (www.corporate-web.com). they are looking for a site to provide them a more reliable and cheaper hosting service. they also need: 1) some POP/SMTP email accounts 2) a listserver terry, what is the first thing i need to do to make the move over to your servers?

If it's on another isp, the other isp has to initiate a domain transfer request which can be found on http://www.internic.net These are the toughest transfers, because we don't control our own destiny. The current isp has to do it or the owner can do it with a fax to the Internic. The domain name transfer group is the biggest pain in the butt in the Internic disorganization, and you can tell them I said that! Did you log in to access.spring.net yet? Did you check out the directions for setting up a dedicated webserver in the projects conference?

terry, yes on both counts. i have begun editing the files on the access server and will finish that up as soon as i hear that ratthing.com is propagating thru the net. as for changing the cathedral over to the spring's servers, if they want to go that route then they will gladly fax the Internic to get the ball rolling. they will prolly have me do it anyway!

Go for it. And I hope the directions are clear. There may be one minor typo in them if they aren't the second rev of the directions. Let me know when the site comes up. Good going, Ray.

ratthing.com is alive! thanks terry.

Were the directions clear? Did you have any difficulty with them? Can they be improved? Did you set the FP98 extensions and the log files?

~ratthing Thu, Dec 10, 1998 (15:56) #6

the directions were not too clear, only because there were references to "barton" instead of "access." i have not done the FP98 extenstions only because i prolly wont be using them. and i did (i think!) set the log files.

I think the references to barton may have been valid. You have to do some things to the dns server on barton since it's ns1.spring.net to make everything else work. I think these references may be ok. Hey, but if you have some rewording that would make it clearer, I'd dig it if you'd make a detailed critique. You up for setting up bioregion.com as a frontpage enabled, log enabled website on access?

terry, love to! i need access to barton, as i did try to log on and couldnt.

~terry Thu, Dec 10, 1998 (22:00) #9

I'll fix that.

~terry Thu, Dec 10, 1998 (22:01) #10

Fixed.
