I Do Not Want A Third Thing

[kerravonsen]

I have borked my server. My main desktop is still working, so I can browse the web, which is why I can make this post. However, my server is webserver and mailserver, so katspace.org is off the air, and no email will get to me until I fix this. I have already spent all day trying to fix this. It is time for me to go to bed, and bang my head against it tomorrow.

No, I don't want to go into details of how I borked my server. I will just say: failed upgrade, and failed install x 4.

I also did a bit of crochet while I was waiting for stuff to install, I suppose that's a tiny silver lining.

It always pays to have the hooks and yarn at the ready.

Indeed.

Oh dear! I hope it's not too hard to fix.

Hugs you. Computer problems really suck.

I dont know the intimate details of servers, but if you can back out of it, like a system restore, that may be your salvation. If you have it backed up, wipe and reload.

I am at the stage of having wiped EVERYTHING and re-installed the entire system FOUR times, with the re-install not going to completion. (Don't worry, I have backups of files on a separate disk).

usually by this point in our household the air turns blue, OH likes to let off steam even if computers can't hear.

Hopefully a nights sleep and subconscious processing will provide a solution. Sure it's not the upgrade that is borked?

Entire system has been wiped. The re-installs are not working. Will try a different method today.
