What the EFF, Dreamhost?

[jetpack_monkey]

My dad's website (which I designed and do some admin work on) has been going up and down, up and down all day. The Dreamhost control panel tells me that the site's directory doesn't exist, nor does its Apache configuration, which I could buy if the site wasn't working half the time. Also (this is a Drupal site), when you go to any of the "hard-coded" pages ("admin", "blog", etc.), you get a 404 error. Makes no flipping sense.

Also, it keeps rejecting my FTP password.

No idea what's going on, but I am not pleased.

The user for the server needed to be configed to remember where the hell the site files are and what permissions they have. I have done so, and the site is now loading. Please let me know if -- *shoots self in foot to prevent the perky customer service voice from taking over*

I think this is something you can't do from shell (it takes sudo).

Now, if my work would stop fucking over my friends this week, I would be SO grateful. Grrrr.
