Hey, guys, I've set up a testing environment for code or infrastructure that I intend to push live at some point, and I'd like as many of you as possible to bang against it for the couple of weeks or so in order to make sure things aren't broken beyond belief.

Can you do that for me? I'll love you forever if you can.

yes <3

Pardon if I'm being dense, but... are there any changes at all, other than the "Contact" link and the old home page? I can't find any...

The infrastructure is really the only thing that's different at the moment. Changes will appear here first before they appear on the main site itself. I have a few changes I'll be rolling out here in the next week or so that won't show up on the other side for another two weeks.

http://e621.net/ is running under mod_passenger, which tosses exceptions from time to time that should never happen. It will be moving to Thin like beta in about two weeks.

http://e621.net:8374/ is running under Thin, which, I hope, tosses interesting exceptions when they're necessary instead of, e.g., flooding my inbox with 5000 messages about a missing template that isn't actually missing.

yay fake 404! Dade Murphy go beat the system into submission, just like the house wife it is.
