Day: November 2, 2008

Patches = reboot
Since July 22nd, no patches have been applied, but new ones were available. In all, 11 of them: one big consolidated patch (that included a number that I already had installed), about 8 that were not included in that update, and TCPIP. Of course, I made a backup of the system disk, and when that ran, the connection was lost but the process continued and died once the backup was done.
Updates of this type means a reboot – and all went well, except that the VMS wiki seemed to have lost the stylesheets, and the main page that is not updated – I need to create a new text anyway so up to that time, it’ll be just the reboot text. It’s just a logical to be set properly. But that new file is not yet finished and uploaded….
The problem with the VMS wiki was simple: the logical referring to the static pages referred the wrong device: LDA21: in stead of LDA11: ; I changed the references to the containers for Python and related software, but forgot to adjust the MOIN_STATIC logical. Well, tha’s settles now.
Old error solved
I got a mail yesterday siganlling there was an “s” missing in on eof my older pages: The “back home” link was indeed short of an “s” – referring “grooternet” in stead of “grootersnet”.
That was an easy update. Thanks, Mira!
