Well, it’s finally up and running.

 

I’ll be getting a backup of the subscription list so that I can do a mass email if something like

This ever happens again.

 

Here’s what I understand happened:

 

SEDS went to reboot the server one day and it would not boot up.  The drives appeared to be

good and all of the data and software appeared present, but it would not boot.  The hardware

and software people kept pointing fingers at one another.  They kept trying fixes as they

didn’t want to wipe everything and reload from a backup as it looked like the solution should

be something simple.  To compound the problem their best expert was out of state and parts

that were suspect had to be ordered in overnight each time.

 

They finally just went ahead and reformatted the drive then loaded in the most recent backup.

The system booted up just fine.  I don’t think that anyone ever figured out for sure what the

problem was, but it is working just fine now.
