Need to disable a Drupal module but can't do so from within the site? (This could happen if the wayward module is preventing you from reaching the Modules form!) Look for the module's entry within the "system" table of the site's database, and set the module's status to "0".
(From within phpMyAdmin: Select the "system" table from the column of tables at left. Click the "Browse" tab. Find the row for the module you wish to disable, and click the "pencil" icon in that row. In the resulting form, input "0" for the Value of "status", and click the "Go" button. Done!)
Dreamhost reliability (Re: Hosting Deals!)
I've had downtime, but nothing like 10%! My downtime so far has been well within reasonable expectations for a low-cost service, and good enough for a gaggle of sites that, I have to admit, don't yet have critical life-or-death uptime needs.
I wonder if you've had the bad luck of being placed on an exceptionally flakey server cluster. I scan Dreamhost's RSS feed of problems and upgrades, and it does seem that my server cluster is very rarely mentioned. Maybe I'm one of the luckier customers?
Poor Dreamhost performance?
Just stopping by to ask how satisfied you are with Dreamhost? I've been with them for a little over a year, and have had as high as 10 - 15% downtime. Lately, it seems to have become worse. I'm wondering whether you would still recommending as a hosting provider?
