No problem :)

Compared to my error that's nothing. 

And I'm blocked from fixing it because of the ports not being open at my office - the same issue with how I can't access the SVN from here.

One minor niggle with the forum software is that when you make a post and get some error message when posting, the reply might actually appear in the thread but not in the list of recent posts. This seems to have no other negative effect though.

My one advice about admin'ing is: if it ain't absolutely broke, don't attempt to fix it. Do as little as possible - a seemingly small problem can turn into a world of hurt.

Also back up the rmqboard.db file now and then.

That's about all. This specific error is probably fixable once you can get into the server.  :)

ijed:
Yeah, I don't see it being a massive problem - once I get out of the office.

Was just unlucky that my mouseclick typo hit a very nasty bug in our very slightly outdated SMF version. 

Ah well. 

We should be back up and running tomorrow.

Yeah, backing up the database is the most wise thing you can do.
If you lose the infrastructure you re-install everything, losing the database is much more traumatic.

ijed:
Well, today has been a cruel lesson.  It seems there are tools to autobackup the database, which is basically all I needed - an undo button.

All going well, it should be back up in a couple of hours.
