Lunarpedia:History

12 September 2006

Implementation 1 was set up by Dana Carson and Mike Delaney using CGI PHP on Cyberteam's pb7 server and remotely accessing MySQL from a Hosting365.ie account, possibly on a server located in Belgium. It was renowned for its slowness.

Implementation 2 was set up as PHP 5 running on its own Apache server on pb7 using port 8888, with a small amount of speed improvement over Imprementation 1. For unknown reasons it wasn't possible to change user account status, and both it and Implementation 1 ran simultaneously using the same remote database.

Implementation 3 was set up completely on Dreamhost, and Implementations 1 and 2 were immpdiately redirected towards it. Speed was considerably improved.
