190 packages 2 minor errors

Filed under: Geek News and Stuff — site admin @ 10:44 am

I just upgraded the server. I’ve been holding off on doing that because I didn’t want to have to take it offline during the week… and I had a recent issue with a certain laptop and definately didn’t want this machine to be down. Today I took a deep breath, ran init 2 a special trimmed down version of the server that only runs sevices essential for remote login, shutting down email and all web services. So far there have only been a couple of minor configuration issues dealing with the web server and email. I will of course be keeping a close eye on everything to make sure that it really did go as well as it looks.

Oh and if you weren’t able to get to the site this past Saturday afternoon that’s what it was.

There was one web site issue that I didn’t notice right away. It seems some people are still stuck on the old school index.htm - you know from when we had filenames limited by DOS? - and that site lost its index page for a little while. I caught it though and fixed it. That’s worth a pitcher of beer isn’t it? ;)
