Got .keenspace.com? You need to change it now.

Post by **STrRedWolf** » Mon Dec 12, 2005 5:04 pm

I hate to be evil to everyone, but this one comes from Darren at Keenspot Entertainment (our parent company).

The changeover to .comicgenesis.com or .comicgen.com is manditory. .keenspace.com will be relegated to redirect-only status.

Sorry, folks. If you haven't done so already, you need to do so now. I'm now setting the deadline to New Years Day -- that's when I go in the system and force everyone's comic that hasn't changed over to use .comicgenesis.com, and manually run an HTTP access file update. When that happens, sites are going to break.

Items that come out of the tags will continue to work, but any IMG SRC HTML tags that use http://<username>.keenspace.com/whatever instead of just /whatever are going to break.

How to change your site over: http://forums.comicgenesis.com/viewtopic.php?t=66857

You will need to use the old http://siteadmin.comicgenesis.com:8080 to change your domains. I doubt Kisai has ported the tool over to her Siteadmin system.

Your username and password will remain exactly the same, although you might have to change the url you ftp to if you use a third-party ftp program.

http://siteadmin.comicgenesis.com:8080/ ... s/main.cgi is not working, with either of my accounts (snrpg or hellsing).

I've already switched hellsing over, but I still need to switch snrpg.

Each time I log in, I get

RedWolf -

Be sure that if you write a script to do the changeover for those comics that don't change over by the deadline, that you don't write the script to change ANY comic over that isn't already on .comicgenesis.com. In other words, word it so it only changes over those on .keenspace.com, not "If NOT .comicgenesis.com....."

Those of us with our own domains aren't set in the panel to .comicgenesis.com - we have an additional radio button that has our domain name in it.

I'm pretty sure you already considered all this, but be sure to test it too before running. With our luck at changeovers, I can just see every one of us with a domain name suddenly suddenly going 404 sometime early in the new year. >.<

Has an e-mail been sent out to the mailing lists about this? If so, I never received one.

<TT>UPDATE keen_comics SET comic_domain=".comicgenesis.com" WHERE comic_domain=".keenspace.com"</TT>

Don't worry about the custom domain names. It's all autohandled.

so do we have to manually update the links and all that as well?

Post by **STrRedWolf** » Wed Dec 21, 2005 4:46 pm

Anything that's not done by the tags you will need to adjust.

Cope · Post by **Cope** » Wed Dec 21, 2005 5:14 pm

If you're linking something that exists within your site, your url isn't necessary anyway. For example, this:

Code: Select all

/images/title.gif

will work just as well as this:

Code: Select all

http://chronocrystal.keenspace.com/images/title.gif

The same applies to links. This:

Code: Select all

/archives.html

will work the same as this:

Code: Select all

http://chronocrystal.keenspace.com/archives.html

This is just for future reference. If you do things this way, you won't have to worry about changing your site's code if your url is changed again in the future.

Aw man, this is ... well, wack! I haven't been able to update in months, now I have to figure -this- mess out? Totally unfair, and I only have a week! Can't someone do it for me?

morbidprince, ColdFusion? Can you PM me with your username and how you can't get into the old Siteadmin on port 8080?

So it will still redirect? That's good.

"502 Bad Gateway
The CGI was not CGI/1.1 compliant. "

I mean, it's enough that I have to change the url, but I can't change it! I tried like twelve times.

It isn't doing in.

Jamal23227 · Post by **Jamal23227** » Fri Dec 30, 2005 2:25 pm

my comic is listed in the google and dmoz directories, but they have the keenspace.com url. if someone click on the peno.keenspace.com, will it redirect them to peno.comicgen.com?
