After a few bumps and scrapes to get there… Burningahole.co.uk launched but it did seem a bit slow… I still have a heap of db optimization to do but it was really slow…
Setting up Lighttpd wasn’t a breeze though I got it working, this page helped, but I wouldn’t be so bold as to call it “painless”… Anyway, for some reason I thought I’d check the HTTP headers (“curl -I the_url_you_want_to_check”) in the Terminal and found that I was running in development mode… oh how we laughed… It’s a bit like getting a new engine for your car and then dumping it in the boot…
So today I managed to get BurningaHole using the RIGHT engine and it’s a lot, lot quicker…
Look at what happened in the £50 section (above)… almost like the parlour game… consequences… made me laugh…
