Here is our story; we are a non profit organization that shares the love and affection of our First Generation Monte Carlos’s. Hence the web site http://www.firstgenerationmontecarlo.com and http://www.fgmcc.com domains. Well we have been with jsl.com for years with a very good uptime and reliability. Jsl has decided to pull the plug and this is why we are seeking a new host.

We are not a mission critical operation by any means and we have agreed to use 1and1.com for a trial basis

Now the good stuff, our president of the fgmcc has agreed to the upgrade to 7.x from 6.3 as long as we can still have the same interface and current post stay intact. What I have done was imported the site into (MS) FrontPage in order to strip a lot of the non accentual files and folders. Then downloaded the other files we need for the cgi and ubb. After this was done I had to edit the url’s to the new domain @ http://www.firtsgenmc.com we have not edited the control panel yet to point to this new domain.

So what I am looking for is to use the http://www.firgtgenmc.com (new domain) as the beta site and run the patch to 6.3 then upgrade to 7.x. hoping for your assistance in this, to show the rest of the club it can be done without loosing what we already have. I guess my question is can you people here walk me thru this or give a hand in completing this? Can this be done?

I am using ms windows as I can not get my Red Hat AS to boot from cd once I installed my pci express 8800 graphic card.
