Blog was down

That was a strange one… Going to have to keep an closer eye.  I hadn’t looked at the site for a couple of days.  Seems like sometime yesterday, WordPress stopped working.  My first thought was the circuit was down.  Next (when the green lights were flashing) I thought there was a domain / DNS issue.  But I could surf, and loaded other pages at theczechs.net.

Really stumped, I looked at the files in the WP directory.  Thought the site may have been hacked, but all looked fine (as far as I could tell.)  Thought about a PHP problem, and potential PHP or other cache issues.

I was exploring my options, and thinking through a restore from backup.  I hadn’t restarted in a long while, so decided to give that a try.  This isn’t a Windows box, and so it really pained me to admit the restart of the server brought the blog back to life.

Oh well, sometimes you do what you have to do.  What I have to do now, is keep watch to make sure there really isn’t a true underlying problem.
