manganese yesterday

Apache was down on manganese for most of the morning yesterday. Something happened in the early morning hours (around 4:00am). Rackspace looked into it and wound up rebooting the server. When it came back up, apache wouldn't start.

It looks like the apache configuration was corrupted. I think the generator script died in the middle of creating the files. The watchdog script doesn't check for a broken configuration (yet) so it wasn't able to fix things. The generator (which is triggered by changes made in the control panel) ran around 11:30 and fixed the problem.

Sorry for not taking care of it myself. I've been sick in bed with the flu. :/
