Ya know I should have known better than to delete some files from a /tmp directory on the server. Sure 548 of them were old and could go...but there was that one file that our database needed to run properly. Doh!

Please don't do that again!
Got really scared thinking I was going to have to sit at the work bench and build tonight!

PS: Strange thing is, is my original link does not work anymore. Hmmm...

Ken,
Probably a cache thing. Delete your cache man!

That's OK Jim. Just don't EVER let it happen again! Fridays are slow at work here, I was really looking forward to doing some Armorama browsing.

Oh well, I got caught up on the Academy Awards and the Primaries. You know, unimportant stuff.

No apologies necessary, Jim. The outage wasn't that big of a deal and besides, it got me back at my workbench for a change.

We refer to that as an ID 10 T problem. J/K Jim, we still appreciate all the hard work.

I thougt it was thoughtful that there was a banner stating what the problem was instead of just getting a "page can't be opened error."
Thanks!!

No worries Jim

The banner letting us know about the problem was great.

I'd tried getting in a little before that, and got into the root directory. All those folders...
