So I woke up this morning, got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head. Made my way downstairs and . . . hang on that's a Beatles lyric. Let's try again.
This morning I fired up my browser and it said it couldn't find www.hiddenjester.com. Rubbish! The cat is sitting on it - I can kick the box from here. The machine itself was still online, so I went in and tried to restart the server - seg faults. Reboot the machine - still seg faults on startup. Look at the logs, not much there. at 4:03 AM it says "Graceful restart request, doing restart" (I think this was for log rotation maybe?), then it says [error] (9)Bad file description: apr_socket_accept: (client socket) - which is a great error message, very informative to the average user (rolls eyes).
So I dunno. Ended up uninstalling and reinstalling the web server. Seems to be fine now. I did compile some new stuff yesterday, but it was all GUI thing-a-ma-bobs - nothing that should have impacted the web server. Let me know if anybody has an issues with the server and apologies for the outage.
