A GoDaddy linux Virtual Dedicated Server (Plesk) that I am managing recently had the most unsettling problem. It acted as if there was no more disk space, even though it was only half full. All Inodes were full, but deleting files would only make the _total inode count_ decrease. So if resources were freed up they would then disappear, until there were no Inodes available.

Three options:

1. install from scratch, copy & paste (horribly time consuming if your site is complex)
2. save database, upload all files, create database on GoDaddy server, update config.php to reflect new settings. I tried that and somehow it didn’t work. I think the problem was root_path in config.php - it should not be /mysitename/mycmsmsfolder (or whatever your file directory may show when you view your files) but instead it should be something like :
   /home/content/a/b/c/yourusername/html/yourwebsitename/yourcmsmsfolder- Replace “a/b/c” with the first three letters of your godaddy username, and “yourusername” with your godaddy username
3. Take the middle road and run install with your new, transferred database (as in 2.) but do not worry about editing config.php. Check off the “create tables” and “install sample content” boxes. This is what I ended up doing and how I realized the root folder was not /mysitename/mycmsmsfolder but /home/content/a/b/c/myusername/html/mysitename/mycmsmsfolder

This is a work in progress, but I needed a spot to centralize portfolio/resume materials,  various training materials I’ve developed over the years, and install notes on the different systems I’m working with (Wordpress MU, Moodle, Plone, Drupal).

Custom design coming soon, but clients and school come first…
