sorry for the break in service. We're still looking into WHY we went off line. But at least we're back. Carry on.

You might have gotten hacked. Looking for the config file in /dev/null seems a bit suspicious.

Actually, thinking about web server scripts, the most probable thing is some admin fat-fingered the startup script and instead of redirecting stdout to /dev/null it was looking for config in /dev/null. But if there wasn't that type of activity going on then it seems suspicious.

What did you do to get it back? Did you re-install the web server, or did you get the web server directory off of backups and then restart or something?

It must have been the government in league with the aliens ... they were trying to track down Sifu Abel so they could stick probes up his ass.

The big question is what did you do during the 4 hour downtime Lunghushan? It must have driven you crazy being unable to post. I bet your ppd ratio has dropped because of this!:D I see you've been on the rampage getting it back up there since the forum came back online.....

Poking ain't in the UFC, so it don't work. In a real street fight, somebody gets poked in the eye, they'll all stop because everybody knows that poking somebody in the eye ain't cool.
