Need some help with publisher authentication regarding our site migration to blue host. Here are the specs
PATH: /home2/larrynol/public_html/phplugins
PERMISSIONS: folders and files set to 755
API: http://larrynolson.com/publisher/api/ publisher folder in place on server with config file
PASSWORD: checked API password and is correct in both places
Does not authenticate, cannot publish.
RE migrating to new host. We have set up a new Blue Host account and are in process of migrating from the old host to Blue Host and have a question or two. The Pages upload went fine and is live on the temp site. Publisher is another matter. I am guessing that I have to wait for all name servers and domain redirection to complete before I can reconfigure publisher for the new host. Is this so? Or is there any work I can do while I wait 5 days for all the backend hosting/domain transfer stuff to complete? Thanks Russ
That really depends on what you've setup.
Any galleries managed via Publisher, you will need to re-publish. They cannot be moved from one server to another.
If you're migrating a WordPress blog, then you'll need to brush up on migration procedure for WordPress.
You could theoretically move Pages, but I don't know why you would want to. If you've saved templates in LR, then LR is your website backup and it's probably easier to update the Site Root and PHPlugins path in LR, re-export and upload to the new server. And the same goes for most other things.
Because you're creating through Lightroom, then you LR collections and templates should be your definitive backup.
Right you are, I had not thought of it quite that way. Not sure what, if anything, might be missed with that approach, but with LR and a complete back up of the site, should be able to muddle through. Thanks Matthew.
I am going to piggy back on this, as the issue is similar. We have a TTG site on a seemingly inferior host, iPower. It is very slow, regardless of the pipe one is using. My question is, are the situations similar to the above, that is to say: back up our site onto our local machine, set up new account (blue host), upload to BH server, repair any TTG broken links, set up new WP database, and fix that link. Is this the general idea? Or is there something more catastrophic that could happen, or break? Thanks.
This issue is still under investigation. Repeated publishing of one gallery, delivered the exact same result, even though thumbnail sizes were set radically different. Later viewing of the same gallery revealed changed thumbnails, as they should have been. IOW, changes made to gallery were not reflected in Safari, under any conditions. Cache off and emptied.
A different browser is a good suggestion. As well, I am tempted to try different computers and locations to confirm or deny this "delay" in rendering changes to a gallery.

I am dealing with some peculiar server delays in displaying my latest uploads to the host's server. Caches are cleared and turned off in my browser, Safari.
The deal is this, I export a LR TTG gallery, ftp it to the server and it displays incorrect results in the browser, i.e. very small thumbnails, when in fact large thumbnails were originally displayed in TTG. I then spend the next 2 hours trying to solve this small thumbnail issue. I give up and go eat worms.
I come back 2 hours later, and the same web page now produces the large thumbnails I originally expected! This scenario has happened to me twice at two different work sessions (different tasks), months apart.
I do not know anything about how servers, or hosts for that matter, operate. Suffice to say I thought them all to be the same, once configured correctly for TTG, that they would work fine. Is this true? What might be causing this delay in rendering and what is causing the server to display wrongly sized thumbnails, only to correctly display them later on? The host is called iPower.com.
Thanks. Russ
