Some of you may have heard of a webcomic host called DrunkDuck.

About 2 months ago the site (that's been under new horrid management for the past 3 years) went down. Due to a billing issue the server for the site was erased by the host.  The admin of DD was asking if anyone knew how to rebuild a virtual server. I had vague knowledge of linux and servers and a good sense of googling + reading documentation so I offered to help. And succeeded in rebuilding the server.

But now it's not as easy as simply reuploading a backup of the site. The original person that coded it is not responding to our messages (I have no idea what terms he left under).

So I don't know how the site was put together. It is running on PYTHON. I'm currently looking through the code to see what all needs to be installed attempting to reverse engineer it but have zero experience with Python.

Basically I'm trying to find out if anyone may be able to attempt to aid in reverse engineering the code to see what all was installed and how the server/site was configured.

If we cannot find anyone to help for free it will become a commission job. So if you're willing to try getting it to work as a paid gig let me know that as well.
