If you tried to log onto the web site between Saturday and today you were likely greeted with a message explaining that the server was down for routine maintenance. Routine may not be quite accurate.
After using the computer that runs the server (located in our basement) to check movie times (our home workstation computer is still down) I noticed one of the temporary directories was running out of space. Had I simply shut the machine down and re-booted everything would probably have been fine.
Instead, I decided to start deleting things that looked expendable. In a matter of minutes I rendered much of the computer unstable – the web server was still operating but it was poking along.
The short of it is that I spent much of Sunday backing up the web site and Monday and Tuesday reloading the system software and restoring the web site. I think most everything is now functioning – except the Calendar but it wasn’t getting much use yet anyway. If you run into any problems, please let me know!
