Things have been fucked since about 7pm yesterday evening yeh

I couldn't get into FTP last night. I couldn't get into Plesk or ssh.

 From what I observed, it began with mysql 'too many connections'.  
Yes, once again, adelaideimc processes running into 30s or 40s. I wish  
a solution for this had been implemented but it appears we gave up?!?!
I'll email Roman about it. One Indymedia site getting spam should not  
bring a whole server to its knees. Something was meant to be happening  
with htaccess to try and block them from entering the site but I don't  
think it ever came to pass.

Anyway, following mysql going down, for some reason everything else  
seemed to follow with it.

Since we can't actually get in to do a reboot, it appears on  
ServerBeach we can do a remote reboot through MyServerBeach here
https://secure.serverbeach.com/mysblogin.php

Dave can you login details or look into this one?
