Broken blog!

I did it again, I broke th' blog by doin' a Debian security update! All o' this a few hours after findin' and fixin' th' problem that SIVART were bein' experiencin'!

I don’t know exactly what broke th' blog, I’ve tried every suggestion I could find at th' WordPress about blank blog pages.

My solution… A brand new Virtual server runnin' a cutdown version o' Debian 3.1 (Stable)!

I restored th' blog t' this new server, however th' blank blog page bug also manifested on this server.

I decided t' upgrade t' th' latest version o' WordPress, and me blog is back! (And yes I tried this same step on th' auld server, with no improvement)

The next problem were bein' how t' let th' real world see this new server, me ISP only provides me with a single IP address, and I’m still hostin' other sites on me auld server.
Simple solution, I modified th' virtual webhost on th' original server t' now act as a reverse proxy t' th' new server.

So it’s all up and runnin'… total outage a little bit o'er 12 hours! Walk the plank! I did manage t' get about 6 hours o' sleep somewhere in there!

This isn’t th' best solution, but it works fer now… I’ll review and redesign th' setup when I have a spare moment, I'll warrant ye! 😉
