Blog Up, Blog Down, Blog Up

May 14th, 2007

My blog crashed again this weekend. Perhaps you noticed. I submitted a trouble ticket to my web hosts and got a fairly quick response. It turns out, my hosts upgraded PHP and didn’t notify anyone. I was informed they would be rolling back the PHP by the end of Saturday. But as of this morning, my blog still wasn’t up. I checked the error log and it looked like there was a PHP problem in one of my WP plugins. Unfortunately, it was killing my blog so that I couldn’t even access the admin and deactivate the plugin. So I logged into my website control panel and completely deleted the files for the particular plugin (WPlicense, for those keeping score at home). And now, my blog is back up.

I’ll tell you what, I would really like to go for…oh, let’s say the next four weeks at least without a blog problem.

    And people mock me for having a fully-hosted blog on a non-mine domain. Hah, I say. At least I don’t have to deal with all of that kind of stuff.

    Anyway, good luck…

    When I was having my previous blog problems, with the mod_security issues, I seriously started thinking that a WordPress.com blog might not be such a bad thing, rather than having my own domain to worry about.

    Hmmmmm……as tv has shown me….you cannot go too long without being the “master of your domain.” Ha!

    You can learn a lot from TV. And by “a lot,” I mean everything.
