Doh! but I’m glad I checked here and saw that the machine had changes. Too bad we didn’t preserve this information.

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is

@Henrik: Well, until the person involved checks the site to see what’s going on, we won’t know. As I said, it could be some corruption issue, although more often it’s some coding error that prevents calling the sidebar.

Peace,

@Gene Steinberg: Not always though, it depends on the nature of the database error.

@Henrik: That is possible, but if the database is at fault, other than a situation involving damage/corruption of data, you should be getting a message about not being able to access the database.

Unless there is some reason to use 2.0.5, there definitely should be an update there. For those using the 2.0 branch, they can go to 2.0.10, or otherwise to 2.1.3.

Some plug-ins might be broken with the latter, but that’s something Shannon will have to check, as I’ve long since left that behind

Peace,
Gene

@Gene Steinberg: It may be that Shannon is having issues with the database connection, it can also has to do with the file user access rights in the directory where her blog is situated. In any case - Shannon; you should update your wordpress installation - your pagecode says 2.0.5.

@Rachael: Love your site

@Shannon: This would have to be a problem with your site, not DreamHost. With DreamHost, either it works or it doesn’t work, or loads very slowly. That your sidebars aren’t appearing may be a coding issue, that you have to check yourself.

You’re all missing the point. If We’re able to see your sites from here - then there is another problem creating the outtage over the entire Internet network. A traceroute to Level3 shows a potential problem on their end.

‘Schweppes’ looks busted. Been trying to hit other sites on that machine, no dice.
