How (not) to Migrate Servers

Sometime yesterday afternoon, I started getting a reports of 404s on the units server. I couldn't look into this till this morning, but it turns out that the host it was on decided to commit ritual seppuku and wipe itself out. Fortunately, the code is backed up, but the config.py file is listed in .gitignore, which is where all my api keys were. I've trimmed a few services that weren't working and probably never will. Most of it is now up and running on a new box. If anything's broken, please let me know.
