Topic: Chordie is moving!

Chordie is moving to a new location. The new location is a lot more central to the Internet backbone, and most users should experience a performance improvement. The hardware is also upgraded. The main reason for the move is however stability. Chordie is now being hosted in a professional data center with 24-7 support.


I will also reindex the database - meaning tons of new songs...<img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_smile.gif" border=0 alt="Smile">


I will work full time on the migration the next days.


To improve the next index, I will however need some help from you: Please send me urls to songs without chords. I have had complaints about lyrics-only songs, but I do not have enough examples of this to find a pattern. With your help such songs will be non existent on the new server.

Re: Chordie is moving!

I'm glad to hear about the songs with no chords thats for sure.


If I wanted to read lyrics I'd go to Lyricie lol


Well I've noticed a few, so If I notice them again I'll leave the URL in this thread shall I?

Re: Chordie is moving!

Will the site still be chordie.com, or will we have to find it at a new location?

Re: Chordie is moving!

The url will still be the same. Apart from maybe a few hours downtime (and a few more hours where forum posting and new registrations will be closed), there should be no connection problems.

Re: Chordie is moving!

Regarding lyrics-only listings, I have noticed a few under the 'Misc. Cowboy' heading.  They are from the roughstock.com/cowpie site and they each have a '-lyr' notation.  Here are some of the urls:

<a href="http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.roughstock.com/cowpie/songs/plaintext.html/c/cowboy/along_the_santa_fe_trail-lyr.html" target="_blank"> http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.r … om/cowpie/ songs/plaintext.html/c/cowboy/along_the_santa_fe_trail-lyr.h tml</a>

<a href="http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.roughstock.com/cowpie/songs/plaintext.html/c/cowboy/dont_fence_me_in-lyr.html" target="_blank"> http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.r … om/cowpie/ songs/plaintext.html/c/cowboy/dont_fence_me_in-lyr.html</a>

<a href="http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.roughstock.com/cowpie/songs/plaintext.html/c/cowboy/cowpoke-lyr.html" target="_blank"> http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.r … om/cowpie/ songs/plaintext.html/c/cowboy/cowpoke-lyr.html</a>


I have encounted a few more here and there, but can't recall where right now.


Good news about the move - chordie is growing and will continue to grow!

Re: Chordie is moving!

Thanks a lot James. You even gave me the algorithm for removing these from the index.


I have now migrated most of the code to the new server, and have started the indexing.
