Today at work I accidentally uploaded the wrong configuration file to one of our development websites. What this means is that I screwed up all of the basic properties for accessing databases and mapping URLs for the whole site. This instantly resulted in about 100 error emails being sent every minute. I corrected the problem immediately but due to our server’s terrible caching problems the errors persisted for another 30 minutes. It’s kind of awesome how when I screw up the server recognizes the failure instantly but when I correct an error it takes the server 1/2 to recognize the change.
