I'm gonna have to disagree to you.  Fritz's reply was simply to the
point.  There was no hostility that I could see.  If Spyros had been
backing up his server, he would have simply been able to restore the
ASSP folder and been on his way.

Anyways, I don't think the assp mailing list is the first place he
should be looking for help since something obviously got corrupted on
his hard drive and how are we to troubleshoot that?  If that is not the
case, then Spyros should have explained better and not started the topic
with "Problem with assp after power outage".

Seeing as you had a power outage, I would assume that you're implying
that your server lost power.  "If" everything was working prior to the
power outage, what should be your first step in the recovery process?
Well, mine (upon discovery that something wasn't working as it should)
would have been to run a chkdsk (since mine runs on Windows) to clean up
any hard disk corruption.  If it still isn't working, then I would have
renamed the ASSP folder to assp.old and tried to start from a fresh
install copying necessary components from the assp.old dir (all assuming
I didn't have a backup, which I do).  You may even have a problem with
your perl folder.

Just so you know I'm not being mean/argumentative, just frank, I'll add
a nice smiley face :-). 

Kind Regards,
Brett
