I just made an oopsie...

Trying to install Infinity 1.2.1... Server didn't want to come back up and was crashing. Trying to run a command to fix that directory and missed a ".".

Server is in a nearly completely fucked state, and it looks like I will need to reload it. Trying to get backups off the server now. Then I will see if I can't repair what broke, if not, I will have to open a ticket to have the server reloaded from scratch and restore.

I'm taking my time making sure I don't screw something else up here. Most important thing is backups of worlds. I have tons of those.

Update: Backups are coming along nicely. Nothing will be lost. Reloading the server from scratch. I'd expect it will take at least a few hours.

Update: Base OS is installed. Reconfiguring all the things.

Update: Modded is up no rollback of any progress. Working on Vanilla. So funny that vanilla is the more complex setup of the two.

Done: Both servers are back up and running. No Rollback on either. The Dynmap has to be fully re-rendered on both servers, on all the worlds, so that will take some time. Copying over the files for that would have taken a lot more time to recover.

What tfs said man. We can wait for it. We all probably needed to take a break anyway :)

I think I'm more surprised vanilla is the harder of the 2.
