Site Updates:

[03/30/2008] - This past weekend our hosting provider relocated our server to a new data center in a new city. Since the move was disruptive I decided to take advantage of the outage and request an upgrade to the latest versions of PHP and MySQL. For this upgrade I had to backup all files and databases on all domains and restore them on the new server. I was doing this while DNS was updating the new IP addresses so it was a good use of the downtime. Most everything is running now and only a few low impact directories are pending restoration.

[01/28/2008] - This past week I updated all the Parish web sites to the production version of Joomla 1.5. We started running Joomla 1.5 Beta versions and advanced all the way through the release candidates. It was very risky to run our web sites in production mode with beta software but I decided to take the chance. It was a good decision.

Some areas that get frequent file additions are now running a PHP directory display. You will see this on pages such as the Parish Bulletin and the School Weekly Communications. This way I can just drop those files in their respective directories and they automatically appear on the web site.

I also configured and enabled PDF file generation which will be available on most pages with a small icon next to the ones for Print and E-Mail on each article.

[07/02/2007] - I have migrated the old parish and school web sites to an open source content management system called Joomla. It is a complete web site system that runs on the server at the hosting provider. It uses the LAMP Stack - Linux, Apache, MySql and PHP. You will see automated features on the new site not previously available.

[04/29/2007] - Today we moved our parish web pages from RCNet hosted and residential service ISP hosted pages to a dedicated server. We are grateful for the ten years of free hosting provided to us by RCNet. This gives us the opportunity to pursue server side scripting and PHP / MySQL (which is already in place on the Music Ministry internal portal.)

[03/07/2007] - This coming July 2007 we will be celebrating our 10th year online with this parish web site. While our message reaches all over the world it is difficult to measure our local impact. One definite positive impact is the number of new parishioners and school families that came to our parish and school because of visiting our web sites.

[02/17/2005] - The parish bulletin is updated weekly and available online. We have modified the method of delivery because we are now receiving the bulletin electronically. The bulletin for the coming weekend is usually posted by Wednesday along with our pastor's weekly message.
