Server Restoration
Out of the blue, it seems the host has wiped the EP server!
Well, here's their explanation...
Quote:[wee] experienced a brute force on the SolusVM API for the administrative section. This caused the above affected nodes to become compromised before wee were able to stop the attack.

I'm not sure how they've actually managed to be compromised by a brute force attack.  Sounds rather sketchy, but at least they've provided a reason I guess...

Anyway, the system was wiped and they ain't restoring it, so I've had to go through the painful process of setting everything up again and pulling from a backup.
Being a backup, some more recent data has been lost, but not too much.

Still need to go through fixing config up etc, but it seems that most things are alright.  If you notice something different, please do tell though.
(I'm also experimenting with a slightly different setup, since I've had to take the trouble anyway...)

Sorry for the downtime.

RE: Server Restoration
Everything seems normal.  Nothing serious to report.

Edit: Except for those SQL errors.  Now everything is normal.
