Title: What happened?
Post by: trekgeezer on December 19, 2004, 12:57:10 PM
Friday I was in the middle of post and the site disappeared.  I tried it just an hour or so ago and it was still down.  Does anyone know what's going on?

Outages just happen sometimes, especially with sites that are maintained by an individual or a small group.  It's become par for the course for this board over the years.  I've been a part of various message boards for several years now and just about every one of them has had an outage from time to time.

From what I can tell, the web hosting company upgraded the web server software.  Unfortunately, that wiped out one bit of my site's config.  I've been trying to get them to fix the error since I noticed.  Normally I would just SSH in and do it myself, no can do from out here.  SSH is blocked at the MEF firewall.

Finally, this morning, someone at the hosting company read my email and knew what I was talking about.  All should be well now, from what I can see.
