    I have had slice host reactivate the slice after they shut it of for not deleting spam urls. When I now try to cap console I get:...

    So it looks like ssh was not configured to start when the box started. Should be all fixed now, let me know if it still gives you problems.

    I'll look into this tonight.

    rss_feed_fetcher daemon doesn't start after cap deploy...

    No you shouldn't. I just pushed out a fix that I tested and seems to properly and consistently restart rss_feed_fetcher after a deploy.

    No problem... and you are not at all silly. I left it broken.

    Actually you just need the last 2 steps since cap is run on your local machine. I deleted the link.

    I also ran into this issue: /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/completion.rb:10:in `require': no such file to load -- readline (LoadError)

    I had to re-install ruby enterprise to fix the problem. I wonder if this was introduced since I first installed REE. Have you destroyed any links in the past month or so?

    The copy this url link doesn't seem to be working for me anymore. Perhaps I'm having personal problems.

    I should have fixed this a long time ago. It only took a couple hours.

    Done. All paying customers have a year of free service.

    Sorry this isn't fixed yet. I wish I could make more time, but I feel like I'm drowning in urgent requests.

    upgrade slice to 512M RAM

    It looks like the background processes (email_notifier, rss_feed_fetcher) are eating up a bunch of ram and causing the server to swap to the point of becoming unresponsive. The quickest thing to do is upgrade the slice to 512MB. The other option would be to change the daemons to background jobs and run them periodically with cron instead of keeping them in memory.

    upgrade slice to 512M RAM

    Something is using up all the memory on the box, not sure what yet...

    how to deploy when have added new gem requirement?

    You can add the dependency to config/environment.rb and then *usually* cap deploy will install it, sometimes that doesn't work which is when you need to manually install it. FYI I think they have fixed this in rails 2.3

    Change avatar model (avatar.rb) to use s3 for attachments like attachment.rb.

    Setup avatars to backup.

    this task is no longer necessary because avatars are stored directly in s3!

    I turned on slicehost backups. The schedule is set for daily and weekly backups. I think it is a good idea, but they cost an additional $5/month. Do we want to keep backups?

    Just give me the green light and I'll switch this over to s3 and copy over the handful of avatars. Should be a seamless migration.

    Change avatar model (avatar.rb) to use s3 for attachments like attachment.rb.

    I think the only reason we didn't do this before was because of having to migrate the existing avatars.
