Well, the problem seems to have been a wierd disk usage error at my isp (my fault). I had thought I was being clever and gave my user a quota of 5 mb for email, not thinking that that might be a 5 mb quota, period.

So I removed that and wehn the system updated I rebuillt the site and it seems to be working again, except for the comments to my culture war story, which still are invisible.

Ah well... and I'm sick by the way. Throat hurtin', nose stuffy, dry hackin' coughy sick. beh.
