So ... apparently UNC is having network problems. Regardless, I was unable to FTP into any of my servers this morning (which was frustrating cause I had a few usericon-related bugs to fix).

So I decided to finally switch to using sFTP (ever since Borst forced me to download the openSSH client from UNC) since sFTP seemed to work.

But in order to get sFTP to work for Tabulas, I had to enable openSSH on the account.




Big mistake. You see, I'm using Ensim to manage the server (which is a control panel to add/remove/edit sites). The problem is when I enabled openSSH, Ensim deleted about 50 lines of custom code that told Tabulas that http://www.tabulas.com/~roy/ is actually http://www.tabulas.com/home.php?user=roy

All those profile.html, gallery.html, etc.html all link to some PHP page, and those commands vanished. Needless to say, I swore a few times.

So I spent some time remaking those lines of code ... and restarting httpd, until httpd gave me a semaphores error (it seems to occur if I restart httpd too many times). So then I had to reboot the friggin server.


But I think I got everything fixed and working. Hopefully ...
