broke ab site for 30 minutes today

(written 18:21 Wednesday 23 October 2019 JST)

Today I knocked AB's admin site offline when I tried to set up a test admin site on the same server. It ended up doing repeated redirects until the browsers said enough is enough.

I kept thinking I must be close to fixing it and ended up taking 30 minutes before I gave up and went back to original configuration.

Client was understanding, but it really ain't good for a live system. On the bright side, I can correctly describe the situation as "ironic" as I was setting up a test system so I would not risk breaking the live system,.. so I got that goin fqor me, which is nice.

I arrived at my morning lesson today with souvenirs from Hawaii, some of which were specifically requested by specific people. None of the requesters were present in the lesson. It reminded me of my blog entry I can do anything and no one cares.

must remove the public directory from my netlify repo

Ahh I wonder if this is what caused Netlify to crash on a date. I was getting an error like

5:33:39 PM: Error: Error building site: failed to render pages: open /opt/build/repo/public/blog/2019/10/02/how-to-prepare-for-a-bigger-than-normal-event/index.html: not a directory

searchable phrase is probably "index.html: not a directory"

The problem, I think, was that my public/ directory was in the git repo. I have just removed it and hope that fixes Netlify.

Yep. Fixed.
