DavaoExchange Successfully Upgraded to Version 2.0
My little side project was successfully upgraded to version 2 yesterday. I can stand down from having to watch every little bit of traffic running to and fro the site since the site is already stable.
With the new site, a lot of the work was in the backend as it was almost a 100% code rewrite. DavaoExchange was my 2nd foray into PHP programming, the first being this site (now running on WordPress), it was the first however to successfully get off the ground.
I picked Sunday Morning of the 2nd for the migration since user activity would be low. SmartBro however was not cooperating as I had lost my connection on the previous morning and the rest of the day was nothing better as connection was intermittent.
The following day, my window for upgrading was slowly narrowing because my connection was still intermittent. Luckily I was able to catch a break in the afternoon as my connection held for two straight hours so I was able to push through with the upgrade on the morning of the 3rd.
Thank God that its finally finished. This was actually the first site, that prior to starting the upgrade, I went to our Altar, lit a candle and prayed a prayer for the success of the upgrade. As a one-man-technical-show, I’ll need all the Help that I can get.
