POL Action Server Problems

Hi everyone,

Looks like there's a little problem with the quake2.theplanet.net server
at the moment - I think the quake2.conf file has gone missing or
something equally horrible.  Either way, on uploading and restarting the
AQ2 servers to instigate new maps (namely deepcanyon on DM and campblud
on TP), the servers refused to reboot (couldn't execute server.cfg :(
).  Dave's been copied in on this mail (and Dave, just type "cd /", then
"ls" on quake2 and you'll see a hefty part of the problem (and it wasn't
me! I found it that way!)) so we'll get it sorted asap.  Apologies, but
now I -have- to sleep.

What time was this?  I went on a couple of times last night and there was
no-one around but the server quality seemed fine(or as good as usual
anyways! ;o)  )

Good luck that man :)  No, seriously, isn't it awful when you find that
all the hard work you did and either been deleted or corrupted :) 
Thankfully only happens occasionally here :)

The filesystem was still there but I appear to have mounted a NFS partition
as / and as the NFS partion had nothing in it, it appeared to have no
content.

All OK now paul just has to restart the aq2 TP server

As you've probably noticed, things are back up and swimming. :)

And yes, campblud.  As always, enough moaning will get me to remove it,
if the case for its removal is pretty sound.  I liked it though, in the
quick test run I gave it (though I found getting down out of the tower a
real git).

deepcanyon, though, is way cool! :)  Thanks to all who pointed it out!

It was about 01:30 when I was looking.  My brain was too much like swiss
cheese for me to have a hope of figuring it out. :)

No, employing the disadvantaged youth whilst also strengthening the
contingent of sound northern blokes in the Republic of Yorkshire.
