Wordpress 2.7.1 update is up and now it’s causing many headaches to those on Shared Hosting packages due to the security issues imposed by many web hosts in their clusters.

Due to a few factors, many of the servers located on the East Coast (New York, Boston MA, New Jersey ) are timing out to those located in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia and Thailand. This is NOT because of a link fault but due to some inconsistent issues by GCWW and AT&T fiberclouds.

Our Proxy Servers link are also not available to MAXIS networks due to technical upgrades on their firewalls.

Also, our Mafia Wars Facebook hacks and cheats site are still about..and if you can’t access them, please use a text based browser like the one from Mippin or WHOIS Domain Tools to read the updates.

In the mean time, I will look into alternatives to access the system and resolve this persisting problem.Thanks,

Recently, I got plagued with my cd licence keys being tampered and stolen by some people in my company and that really takes the piss out of me. Really with the Genuine Pack validation and stuff like that, I got blank black screens with my original stickers and well that is the start of the problem.

Thing is, with so many XP Service pack versions of Windows in circulation and that I purchased them on seperate occasions and not all at the same time gives me the creeps. Knowingly, SP1 keys will not work on original XP CD.

Stupid keys for XP3 will not work on SP1 and likewise for the Home Editions. Which is taking the piss out of me. Now I really have to fall back onto upgrading Vista and then downgrading into XP Pro or Home using a pirated installer disc which is really bad. It’s a matter of Principles, when I have PAID for the original thing and I am hereby forced to utilise pirated versions of the installer to get to where I needed to get done.

Post notes:
XP Won’t Allow you to DOWNGRADE from XP Pro to XP Home

Vista allow you to UPGRADE or Downgrade your VISTA VERSIONS (Home Basic to Ultimate etc) using just the update key function

Vista Won’t Let you downgrade your copy to XP Pro or XP Home.
You will need to reinstall a new copy of windows. Microsoft made agreements with HP,DELL,IBM and ACER that if you get a PC or Laptop PREINSTALLED with WINDOWS VISTA, you can get XP Pro for your single use, PROVIDED YOUR CURRENT KEY IS NOT ACTIVATED.

Just use a pirated means to install and then call them, they will provide you a new key and installation certification code. Some of these codes MAY WORK, and are BLACKLISTED from activations:

These keys are BLACKLISTED and Provided by Microsoft for TECHNET scripted Installs.

Mainly, you do a fresh Install. Disregard any updates available etc and just install the copy. Some SATA Drivers are not loaded (many aren’t) and then just run windows as normal. If you update, then you will need a genuine key. I can sell you the key for an exchange of your current Vista Key and the CD. It’s that I got a whole stash of devices which is sitting still.

For those who need the XP Disc for your own PERSONAL INSTALL, I have them in my download repository. It’s for PERSONAL ACCESS ONLY and since it’s flipping HUGE, I’ve break them up to smaller pieces.

I will add more to this soon…or once the data is up.

Wordpress 2.7 is finally here, code named COLTRANE and is a stable release from 2.6.x and with many months of hard work, finally, many have contributed to the success of 2.7 where you don’t need upgrades…. it will do for you.

Of course, many of you who are lazy will try to skip it for once and I share the sentiments.Some plugins won’t work and this was raised in WP 2.7 RC2 and for those on Multi User (MU), please note that this upgrade will not affect MU. Some domain mapping issues are not available to shared hosted plans, mainly due to the DNS unable to pre-process the tags.

Coltrane is a jazz musician and they dedicated the wordpress builds on musicians as they create life to the human form, in this case to the world of web. Without blogs, it’s tedious to update fresh content daily other than using CMS. For that, it’s a unanimous consensus among the community of developeres (WP-TESTERS) alike.

If you use CPANEL or Fantastico, please note that they have not updated the server databases yet and so forget about upgrading till it’s resolved, otherwise you will have your .install script crapping out on you.As normal, a wordpress database upgrade and reboot is required.

The new interface is more streamlined and you can install your plugins either from a download or upload a zip file totally without the FTP need. It’s just the begining….but I let you explore on your own.

For those who host their own servers and resell services using AWBS, please note that there is a MAJOR UPGRADE to the versions, and current stack is now at 2.8.0 and if you have 2.7.5, please run a maintenance and upgrade your files. Make sure you keep your license files intact.

That’s it for most….. have fun!
