One thing I hate is setting up and configuring servers for custom applications. That's exactly what I have to do... I started on it for a little while this morning...
Got Apache, Postgres with PostGIS, PHP5, and PHPMapscript installed. I started setting up Postgres - I think its done, just need to import some mapping data and test it. I think I have PHP and Apache done as well, phpinfo() shows that the Postgres PDO driver is enabled as well as the Mapscript module. So, that should be ready. Just need to do a bit of testing and try to get some old code plugged in and working.
I wonder what version Qooxdoo is at now? Ever since version 1.2 it seems that they've been releasing updates/changes more frequently. For me, I don't like that. That means the version I'm dev'ing in is getting older faster (not really, but it makes it feel that way).
Importing some test mapping data should be pretty easy. What I'm not looking forward to is getting all my old code to work. I didn't have a very good backup system. There's a few pieces to the puzzle that still need to be found. Mainly, my user-authentication server-side code and database sql file. I'll also need to get a copy of Qooxdoo and hope it's compatible with my old code. So, I have some digging to do.
I now have a server running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS that is running all programs mentioned above. It's also going to have my code hosted using git. Plus, I have an Ubuntu One account now so I can put snapshots of milestones up to the cloud. So, the file-backup situation seems to be well-in-hand.
I still have a long way to go before I can get back into coding. I hate you server.
