Things that worked fine yesterday suddenly don't work anymore

The most likely reason for IMAP, DNS, and web hosting to suddenly stop working is that there is a syntax error in one of the files in your ~/.domtool directory. Admins sometimes need to regenerate all domtool configuration files after making a change to domtool; if one of the files in your ~/.domtool directory has errors, it could prevent other files in that directory from being activated.

To figure out whether this was the problem: for each file <FILE> in your ~/.domtool directory, run

domtool -tc ~/.domtool/<FILE>

If you see any problems, either move the file into a different directory, or fix the problems.

When done, run domtool on each file in your ~/.domtool directory, and everything should be back to normal.

It is highly recommended to keep files in a different directory while testing them, and then copy them to ~/.domtool once you are certain that they are error-free.

If you don't find any errors in your domtool configuration, then you might want to file a support request.

How do I read my Apache logs?

They are stored in ~/.logs/apache in subdirectories corresponding to machine and domain, and are updated every 20 minutes.

How do I run screen for a long time on mire?

/!\ Needs verification from someone knowledgeable in Kerberos.

If you want to have a long-running screen session, then log into mire and do the following:

pagsh
krenew -K 540 -t -b
screen
<C-c a d>
exit  # to exit pagsh

Then you can reattach to the screen session using the normal:

screen -r
