So, loads of people are having issues with this as per a search or two on the Wordpress forums, and I found myself in the same boat. Check it out – I found a fix

I inserted the wp_categories table from my backups and then ran the sql query I found here:

update wp_term_taxonomy, wp_categories set description = cat_name where term_id = cat_ID;
update wp_terms, wp_categories set name = cat_name, slug = category_nicename where term_id = cat_ID;

This isn’t the most interesting of posts, but a good “note to self” for future reference. If not disabled, SSHD will try to do a slow reverse lookup of the IP address of the client causing for an unnecessary delay during authentication. I often run into trouble with this when creating a new install of Linux or FreeBSD. Do the following to disable it:

In file /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

UseDNS no

I really should know better than to trust sales people, I keep getting messed around, but I go back for more. This was a conversation I had with one of the reps at The Planet tonight.

Please wait while we find an agent to assist you…

• Brian J: Hello, how may I help you?
• Customer: Hi, I was just wondering what the different backup solutions offered with the dedicated servers actually were
• Customer: you list network backup or discsync, what’s the difference?
• Brian J: Disksync is automated and much more user friendly.
• Brian J: You can set it up to automatically run as frequent as you prefer.
• Brian J: NAS is space in a seperate storage array you would have to copy and send the data to when you would like to save.
• Customer: so the network backup is nas space allocated to us, disksync uses an automated agent?
• Brian J: Correct
• Customer: and what does disksync require on the server, a username/password setup on ftp or ssh?
• Brian J: Neither its a GUI agent installed on the user console
• Customer: I’m a little lost
• Brian J: Using a simple GUI interface, you can manage all aspects of your backup and recovery including data retention periods, backup schedules, and data restoration.
• Customer: yes, but how does it access the server assuming I’m going to change firewall rules and services running on the server I intend to setup?
• Customer: (I’m looking at a bare bsd/centos box)
• Brian J: The firewall rules would have no effect on Discsync
• Customer: how does it access the server?
• Customer: assuming it doesn’t traverse the network (which you seem to be implying by saying the firewall rules will not effect it)
• Brian J: Through the agent console installed on the box
• Customer: never mind, found the information
• Customer: you’re incorrect by the way – firewall rules would actually cause problems if they weren’t correct
• Customer: refer to your company’s faq on http://forums.theplanet.com/index.php?showtopic=83882
• Customer: goodbye.
