Unexpected Outage

Today’s word is: “oops.”

I was taking a little break from my actual work to push a small tiny code change into production, but didn’t realize the WAR file (the archive file that contains all of the diysearch java code and dependent libraries) had a build problem. I didn’t realize this till *after* the archive was moved into production, and after crawling through mountains of log files trying to figure out what the problem was.

Well, to make a long and dull story short, I did a re-build, and pushed the entire WAR into production.  Everything is working again.

Sorry about that.
