Manila server is dead!

[Grant Dunham]

I've had a similar message several times over the past month. Our server 
is on Windows 2000. (So I don't think it's a OS X problem.)
I fixed my problems by copying my most recent backup of config.root. 
There's a entry in config.root - mainresponder.domain that should 
contain an entry for every site on your server. For some reason, it just 
disappeared.  I blamed the first two times on a faulty network.  (I had 
a user who was accessing his sites via a faulty hub.  There was lots of 
other network problems with that hub.) We changed out the hub and it 
seemed to work. But I got the message again just last week. I have not 
traced the problem yet.
