- Good news! The Expression Engine HTACCESS nightmare was my own fault. I accidentally uploaded an htaccess file to the parent of all the domains on my shared hosting account. So it propogated down to every site unless that site had a specifically defined its own rules. Sorry everyone.
- Our sites were hacked! Probably by some drive-by Wordpress exploit but still, it hosed nearly every site on our hosting account and embedded itself into our Wordpress database tables in case it wanted to come back for more.
- I’ve setup Amazon S3 sync with Media Temple using this guide. It’s slightly intimidating but completely doable. Don’t get discouraged by terminal errors,double check your typing and that you’re in the proper directory for each command, (use ‘pwd’ to find out your current location.) I estimate that backing up this site and its database shouldn’t cost me more than a dollar a month. Allow me to explain using complex maths:
2GB data uploaded @ $0.17/GB + 2GB stored @ $0.10/GB = 54 cents.
I believe that’s called “worth it.”
