Some Downtime
Originally published on my old blog at cumps.be on August 14, 2007.
The blog experienced a bit of downtime today due to a software problem. When bringing everything back up, things seemed worse, however. My personal wiki kept serving me blank pages, and this blog kept saying it wasn’t installed.
After some searching I found the DokuWiki issue: somehow blank pages ended up in the cache. Clearing out the cache folder fixed the problem.
As for the blog, apparently the wp_options table was locked when everything broke, and the lock was never released, making WordPress choke on it. A table repair in MySQL fixed that problem.
My apologies to readers out there who tried visiting the site. Just when my visitor count starts building up, something bad happens, for the first time in years. Typical Murphy!
