For anyone with links to our site, I changed theWordPress installation to be in the root directory of our site, rather than in the journal folder. Never fear though, I created a symbolic link so that no links will be rendered 404. Let me know if anything doesn’t work right…
I’ll be the first to say it… I’m a sellout. If you don’t have a browser that blocks ads then you’ll notice a little text-ad in the upper-right section of the journal, and at the bottom of the gallery photos. I’ve been seeing too many searches coming in from MSN, Yahoo, and Google, for the various Apache/Linux fixes that I’ve posted so I thought it would be a good idea to try and recover some costs for the hardware running this site. I’ll hopefully be able to generate a little revenue stream to repair the old server and have some spare parts in case it goes down again! If faced with another hardware failure like last month, I wouldn’t be able to get this thing running again without some extra cash.
Everyone give Ben a big round of applause…
The new photos are up for the month of July!
Had a little server downtime today across all the sites (same server just different VirtualHosts). Apparently, after the last udpate, Apache decided to change where mod_rewrite and mod_auth_dbm looked for their respective modules. Of course, the old files still existed in the same place as they had always been. I just had to dig into the directory tree and find that there was a slew of new files since the last patch. In the meantime, I recompiled both PHP and Apache and was about ready to download the source directly and do it manually rather than with Slackware’s package tool Swaret.
So, for anyone that happens to use Slackware and like to keep it updated, I’ll post the specifics and save you some time.
When restarting Apache you may see this:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/mod_rewrite.so into server:
/usr/local/apache/libexec/mod_rewrite.so: undefined symbol: dbm_fetch
I just finished adding the 1,024 pictures (took 3 CD’s) from June onto the server yesterday. Have fun. The July pics are already sorted but will be added later this week.
We’ve officially password protected the photo gallery. If you want to be with the “in” crowd then just send us an email and I’ll hook it up…
