Help! I've broken my dreamhack!

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
      0: ERROR: Can't connect to the database (clust#0), so I can't update it. (Access denied for user 'dh-purplecat'@'localhost' (using password: NO))

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.

Fetching updates on Dreamhack?

How does one update their repos on their hack now? The 'old' script no longer pulls anything for me (what used to be on http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/wiki/index.php/Dev_Maintenance) and I don't understand how I can keep up with changes. :/

(Context: I'm on Windows; I use PuTTY and WinSCP).

Edit: ok, if anybody else wonders, short answer is you can no longer update your hack using old methods. :/

Edit 2: long answer is you can switch to the new system. See comments for detailed instructions. :)

Testing changes on Dreamhack

I'm trying to do some of the trivial styles bugs - specifically, at the moment, looking at core2 issues. I've edited the file in ~/dw/bin/upgrading/s2layers/core2.s2 but the changes just don't show up. I've tried restarting apache but they changes still aren't working. Is there a step I'm missing to get the new files to be used?
