Last weekend I managed to pretty much ruin my servers php installation. I wanted to serve video files in WordPress that had been directly uploaded to the server rather than being constrained by WordPress&#8217; maximum media upload size limitations. To do this I installed a plugin. This plugin required a newer version of PHP. I tried to upgrade PHP and broke the LAMP stack. I couldn&#8217;t figure out how to roll back to the old version, and that wasn&#8217;t ever going to be a solution as I still wanted to use the plugin.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve had some &#8220;new&#8221; hardware sitting around unused (used to be a gaming computer) that I had been planning to use for an upgrade to my server for ages, so the catalyst was me breaking the old installation.<br \/>\nA week of feverishly working on the new server has now paid off! I have a super fast server,\u00a0 core i7, 8gb DDR3 RAM, Intel SSD for OS (now Ubuntu 16.04 LTS), and 4TB data storage.<br \/>\nAll the websites and other data have been migrated across. Samba, proftpd, Minecraft server, Zone minder etc have been set up.<br \/>\nThe old server will probably end up in my garage as my workshop computer as it&#8217;s still way better than the old Pentium 4 that I have in there at the moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This last week has been quite challenging.
