Bah! Silly Drupal!

Sorry folks, site has been down for quite awhile with a pesky 500 internal Server error. I finally got around to taking a look at it.

What happened was that I took a gander at the server error log, and noticed I was getting:

“SoftException in Application.cpp:256: File "%directory where the files are%”/index.php" is writeable by group”

I did some speedy searching, ran across this handy forum post, and decided I would try it out. index.php was wide open (not sure how this changed), so I laid the restrictions, set it to 644, and Drupal was happy. (Yay).

Anyway, long story short, the site is back up.
