pvera's Journal: Apache runs great if you leave it the hell alone

Sometimes freeBSD can be too good for its own good. The ports system is so convenient for upgrading and fresh installs that I don't spend as much time figuring things out than back in the day when I would reinstall Linux just to change apache. Pretty stupid.

Yesterday I pretty much killed my whole freeBSD virtual colo/jail system. I upgraded from Apache 1.3 to Apache 2. And I broke it. Big time. After a whole hour of terror I managed to fall back to 1.3.

Lesson learned: Leave Apache the hell alone and it will run forever. Period.
