Help! I've broken my dreamhack!

[purplecat]

For a while my dreamhack has been throwing odd errors - e.g.,

file error - tropo-red.tt: not found at /dreamhack/home/8362-purplecat/dw/cgi-bin/DW/Template.pm line 365.\n, referer: http://user3.purplecat.hack.dreamwidth.net/

Today it was behaving very badly, with apache refusing to start and stop correctly, git throwing wierd errors when I tried to update develop and so on. I eventually realised I'd run out of space - deleted my back-up save of my old mercurial repositories and managed to get apache and git behaving again.

However, somewhere along the way I seem to have fubarred the database:


dh-purplecat@newhack:~/dw/bin/upgrading$ ./update-db.pl -r -p --innodb
Updating cluster: 0

cluster: status

Couldn't get master handle for population. at ./update-db.pl line 212.


Any idea what I've done, or how I can fix it?

Or even why I ran out of space - that worries me a bit too.

I cannot help with the errors, but the space issue is probably the apache logs - it turned out at one point mine had gotten to like 300mb because they weren't being rotated/deleted/etc.

If you've run out of space during an update, it's possible that some files are missing or truncated. I guess the database issue sounds like a problem with ext/local/etc/config-private.pl (where the password is supposed to be kept). Yours seems to be missing.
