Hunting The Muse

Server Down :(

Well, I asked rackspace for advice on upgrading php 4.0.6 to 4.2, and one of the guys there went ahead and did so, and also upgraded glibc and gcc - partially - thereby breaking most of the rest of the server.

In order to fix it they had to reinstall the ENTIRE SERVER, which I don't exactly understand. The new vanilla server is up now... but without any of the old software. Sucks. They said they'd do what they could to have it up and running by morning. I really doubt that will happen. Argh.

Update: Well, it wasn't up by morning! They got email running by about 4pm PST, and the user directories and websites shortly afteward. It took me a while to get the blog system back up (I took a break in the evening), and it looks like we're working again now.

I had some mailing list software and I forgot what a bitch it was to install, and now I have to reinstall it. mailman 2.1 with qmail. Yuck. Hopefully tomorrow... Posted by Curt at February 5, 2003 12:22 AM
