vweb Online Again

I made a post to "History of the Network". It is repeated here, for convienence, since it applies here too.

Since there was a GRUB 17 error, I knew that Linux wouldn't work, and that GRUB didn't work. I couldn't access the rescue system either, because of that error. So I knew I had to fix it offline.

I used the Sys-Resc CD, which I'm always using, to boot the machine. I could confirm that the filesystem was damaged. So I ran fsck, to check and fix errors on the filesystem.

I "should" have ran it with the "-a" switch, but I didn't. I had to say, "yes", to all the errors, since I didn't use that switch.

Then it worked and I could see files on the system again. Before trying it out, I backed up the system, as I don't want to lose the websites, if at all possible. If there was no changes since I created the system, I just would have re-installed the standard pattern, but there were changes. So now, I have a backup image of the system.

Then, I tried the system, and it was indeed fixed. So now the system is fixed, and the server works again. And we got a backup out of the system too!

vweb is functioning again, and everything is okay.
