Upgrading to CentOS 8[Subject Thread] [Add Response]
🕸Fergus Duniho wrote on Mon, Feb 22, 2021 03:46 AM UTC:

This site currently runs on CentOS 7, and I plan to upgrade it to CentOS 8 later in the week. This may result in some downtime. CentOS has been a free OS based closely on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. But CentOS is now owned by Red Hat, and they are planning on changing CentOS from an enterprise OS to more of a testing ground for new features, which would make it less stable. I plan to eventually switch to Rocky Linux, a new project from the founder of CentOS that will be more like CentOS has been. Switching to CentOS 8 is a transitional move that will make this server ready for switching to Rocky Linux when it is available.

This did not go well. So, I reinstalled CentOS 7 and restored the site from backups made on February 26th. I have been having trouble with accessing the database using MariaDB 10.5.9. I have switched to MariaDB 5 to see if it makes a difference.

Seems that creating directories for new variants doesn't work right now.

Error message:

Failed to create the directory /home/chessvariants/public_html/play/pbmsettings/cascade_chess.

It should work now that I have put apache and chessvariants into each other's groups.
