Subj: [kl] www.sneezy.org system upgrade
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 1998 20:54:42 -0400

For those of you who access www.sneezy.org ... today has been a long day
for me, and possibly you. It's been up, down, and sideways most of the
day while I upgrade software (latest Apache (1.3.1), PHP3 (3.0.3) and
MySQL (3.21.33). I re-arranged the entire document tree to fit the new
Apache structure, edited all the hard paths in there (I don't use hard
paths, but some of my customers do :( ), and only ended up blowing away
about 12 hours worth of BBoard messages by not watching how full the
disk got (double :( ). Luckily my backups _did_ work last night.

For those of you who have _no_ idea what I just said - don't worry :^)
The machine and I are happier now - it should be stable again. In a few
days I'll be re-booting the machine, and we'll hope everything comes
back up (installing a new UPS big enough to keep sneezy up for an hour
without outside power).

Cheers,
----
