Did the earlier code changes do this?
The code change was on a page you can't get to, Matt, so that's not it.
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Natters 14, 15, and 16, and Bitches 9 are archived. That should do it for the time being.

I wasn't getting a response from buffistas.org for about a half hour, sometime between 12 & 1 PM board time.

Me neither, Sue. Couldn't get in for about an hour. I was very unhappy.

Okay -- 40,000 more posts excised from the database.
Questions have been sent off to istrata. Waiting on results.

In the "huh, curious" category, the first e-mail address listed on the istrata site (info@istrata.com) does not work.
Stay tuned.

In terms of responsiveness, I'm not impressed with iStrata so far.
One non-working e-mail address, and only automated responses to sales@ and support@

Sound like we need to check out the other one - Dreamhost is it?

Dreamhost was brought up, but not dedicated, I think. Their dedicated is pretty expensive. Their shared has the conueries thing, where you kinda pay for connections, but with the MySQL bug ...

Look! Reply!
sorry for the confusion regarding the iStrata web site, it's actually not a production site yet however we have been selling the products for almost a year now. I'll answer your questions inline below.
The server comes loaded with RedHat 7.3 with all the standard web hosting software such as the Apache web server, PHP, MySQL, etc. We also install the Plesk control panel which in addition to giving you a web based interface for almost everything you would want to do, it also integrates POP, IMAP, and web based mail. The latest version of Plesk (version 6) also includes MailMan mailing list software, and we should be able to provide version 6 immediately.
You also get full root access to the server and are responsible for the management and backup of the server. However we provide an autoupdate service that will keep the server software up to date and apply all security patches for you, so there's little to do other than to maintain your sites and keep a backup on hand. The DS1 server is $99/setup and $99/mo (as I said the site is not in production, specifically the setup fee is not waived as stated). You can add raid 1 (mirroring) for $249/setup and $10/mo. If you need the additional 512MB of memory (most folks don't), you can add this for $129/setup, $0/mo.

Huh. So they don't do nightly backups?
I need to go look at my list of management services now.
