When setting this server I ran into a a couple of problems, this has bought up a couple of questions:

1. How can apache manage some URL rewrite rules without mod_rewrite being enabled?
2. Why isn’t MySQL using UTF8 by default already?

MySQL and apache managed to fix themselves on aptitude update and so I have manage to import the old blog enteries.

However update has wrecked my NVIDIA graphics driver. I’m already missing Beryl and Xorg

I think the CEO’s of a lot of record companies need to be forced to write a 1000 lines of

Copy Protection: A clever method of preventing incompetent pirates from
stealing software and legitimate customers from using it.

Then maybe we might be able to play our music. I found it on the GNU humor pages.

I’m also going to change some of the apache error messages.

I had included the web 2.0 youtube video as an embedded object but wordpress + complete RSS didn’t strip out the object as I had expected it to.

Webmin deleted my enabled apache virtual servers and Beryl is crashing on loadup. So I’ve had a fun day.

I making mess ups all over at the moment.
First webmin, next internel DNS and ssh, then apache config (working now) now phpmyadmin. I’m having a great day.
phpmyadmin is giving 500 error anyone know anything about this error.

Still got no window decorations on beryl.

Still haven’t fixed apache’s ssl configuration. It’s good it is not an important part of the website.
I tried to recompile the kernel and install the latest nvidia drivers today. I recompiled kernel, shutdown X11 and installed nvidia drivers without a hitch. Rebooted and found I had no sound as ALSA was using the dummy driver as default. I tried to run beryl (svn) but it crashed locking everything, even sysrq calls. After forced reboot X11 won’t come up.

I’m trying to get apache to do https:// but it refuses anyone no of any ssl/apache config howtos.
