A couple of days back I had a terrible fright when the Drupal Developers Network went down! (Its a new site I just launched  to help Drupal professionals with gig and job listings).

It looked like the site started spitting a 500 Internal Server Error as soon as I had enabled the devel module; which I love for its crafty menu links like 'clear cache.'  After a couple of days of pondering why devel would muck up I came across a post on realjenius.com that details why the module won't work on Dream Host!

Well, the site's back up and running thanks to the helpful fellows at Dream Host and fact that they include automatic backups of both files and databases with their virtual hosting packages! Phew.

Alas, I won't miss the devel module thaaaat much; at least I can create custom menu items to do things like flush the site cache.
