Hey guys,

Did you change/remove content off the site? I'm getting 404s for a large number of URLs, including /blog...for example. Wondering if there were changes done that got automatically picked up and pushed out?

No, I have not changed anything.

I haven't touched anything since the launch. I'll talk a look when I get into the office today.

Looks like something is broken with the CMS getfirebug.com uses (Perch) - I can't log into the control panel at https://getfirebug.com/perch/ - I get redirected back to the log in page, and nothing happens.

My guess is we're being affected by bug 537778 again, which doesn't make a lot of sense if nothing changed on the server. But the symptoms are the same.

fox2mike - I can send you the admin log in - ping me on IRC.

With help from Neil, this seems to a perch randomly deciding to wipe out data from the DB issue.

I've restored a dump of getfirebug_com_perch from the 22nd and the site seems to be okay now. Neil is manually fixing stuff that isn't in that dump.

Calling this done from IT's side. I'll be happy to know what the issue was though that cause perch to misbehave.
