Software upgrades

Postby Powerlord » Thu Apr 12, 2007 7:06 pm

I took the server down for some software upgrades earlier today.

Unfortunately, an issue with an Apache authentication module caused me to have the site down for longer than anticipated.

Does that mean that the site will plunge into total chaos?

No, what it means is that I now have to work around this problem.

Then the site will plunge into total chaos.

It has before... or it just broke, anyway. Only for like, three hours, though.

It probably happened more than once, but I only remember one time, and, um, I forget when. >_>

So let me just play devil's advocate here, does that mean that you are now or for a short period of time were just as helpless as the rest of us peons? That maybe you were, in fact, a Lord and not, as you say, a Powerlord?

I've removed my rant from the first news post, as it isn't really relevant to the front page.

The text removed was
Powerlord wrote:It turns out that Debian (edit: Actually, Apache removed it upstream) has removed the new authentication module for political reasons.

Let me be the first to say Thanks for wasting my time!

Until I find a workaround, the staff section of this site is in limbo, as no one can access it.
