After several months of frustration trying to get Community Server up and running on a hosted server, i finally got it done this weekend!  <phew />

I'm taking another stab at this.  I've gone to my hosted server and have wiped everything.  Next, i added a new, blank SQL Server.  I then copied everything from the root down from my working install on my internal server (which is where I am writing this).  I then popped open Red-Gate's Sql Compare and made sure the users/roles in SQL were in synch.  I then pushed all of the table structures followed by the views and sprocs.  The schema is now 100% in synch.  I am now running the Red-Gate Sql Data Compare and pushing up every piece of data.

Passing on more joy! 

Just passing on the joy... 

I tried moving this site - with *no* updates - to a hosting service instead of running it from home.  No joy.  Even the good folks at Telligent had nothing to suggest.

Scott Hanselman blogged about a Family Backup Strategy a while back and it got me to thinking; I need to do something at my house.  I have a fairly large (old) sandbox at home consisting of several roughly 600MHz servers and 3 client machines.  All told it is 9 machines.  Add to that mix the fact that my in-laws are moving in with us we will have 10 or more machines on the network at home.  So, following his example, it is time to do something a little more than what I have - which is basically nothing.

http://old.openspf.org/index.html is a great little site.  To quote the site:

I just had a friend ask me "can you supply a css page as a streamed binary? like an img from a db?"  I have no idea.  He's thinking it could be a way to dynamically configure the output and solve browser bugs.  I'm not the best at output across differing browsers.  Any ideas?
