There were a couple of power outage at home today.

The server did not come back up automatically.
The reason is the BIOS is still checking for keyboard's presence.
Without the keyboard, it hangs.
I thought I changed the BIOS setting to not check keyboard's presence but it didn't seem to be the case.

After the server is finally up and running (thanks to Ping's assistance), I was finally able to connect to the server.
Then, I realized that MySQL was having problems starting up.

The reason was, mysql-bin.000018 in /usr/local/var was corrupted.
I had to remove /usr/local/var/mysql-bin.000018 from mysql-bin.index then MySQL started happily.

Then, I realized BBS is showing blank pages no matter what URL(php file) I provided.
After searching the whole afternoon, I finally found a useful post.
It said to clear the cache folder (except .htaccess and index.html).
After I cleared up the folder, bbs started to behave normally.

Apparently, this power outage caused some issues.
I am glad to pick up some knowledge during this incidence.
