Apparently there is the possibility that WordPress will occasionally fall on its sword. My blog is broken and I have no idea why. My server is up, my database is working, other test installations I've installed are functioning normally.

Doesn't that just suck?

Please stand by while I engage in a little percussive maintenance.

Update: Not my fault, not WordPress' fault! I spent some time this morning beating on things in a semi-orderly sort of way and ran into some curious roadblocks. I opened a support ticket with my web host and was directed to an open thread on their support forums.

Apparently they upgraded 27 servers, including mine, with newer versions of PHP, MySQL and cPanel. And everything worked just great… until they all broke. So I'm sitting tight and watching the progress on the support thread.

Update #2:All better! The tech team at my web host put on their grass skirts and did the six nines dance and everything is up and running just as it should be.
