I did break down and use the $10 1GB Linode option but that&#8217;s only because I had to give up on nginx to replace apache as the Web server.<\/p>\n<p>So many detail&#8230;here are just a few:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Moving from Windows to Linux. WP moved fine but the backup SQL script had to be modified; look for entries beginning within your drive letter like &#8220;E:\/&#8221; and update accordingly.<\/li>\n<li>Migrate certificate from IIS to Apache. This turned out to be easy; I had actually made a good, easy-to-locate backup of the .pfx file I used to request softwareab.net from GoDaddy. Then I located <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sslshopper.com\/ssl-converter.html\">SSL Converter<\/a> to do the translation. I was able to open the converted file and get the private key and certificate out no problem.<\/li>\n<li>Got my Perl-based site working. If you go to <a href=\"\/softwareab\/cgi-bin\/home.cgi\">softwareAB.net<\/a> then you&#8217;ll see a really old (circa 2006) site. It&#8217;s all written in Perl &#8211; a custom web framework I wrote myself. It required lots of work inside CPAN to get modules updated, and installing a few more items to my hosting CentOS (openssl-devel, gcc, and a few others). Way too much time required to get that code working and serving the few pages it does! Time to rewrite it!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It&#8217;s very late, another 4am night, so time to get off the computer. But I am so happy to have the blog moved off my cheapie home-brew boxes and onto DO. And so happy knowing that moving back is just a DNS zone file update away!<\/p>\n<p>Happy Computing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a solid week of being down due to a power outage, all site content is moved over to Digital Ocean.
