Upgraded the server this morning to new release of the OS. Didn’t notice until recently that the upgrade broke stuff. Looks like I lost my carefully crafted httpd.conf. I had a backup from a week or so ago, so not completely hosed. If you noticed navigational issues this afternoon, that would be why. All fixed now.
As a side note: This gets me almost everytime I install a version of the Apache web server with this linux distribution or derivatives. The AllowOverride directive is off by default. The WordPress blog software sure needs that to function the way I want.

OK, which extension is doing that to your links? I LIKE that. It’s way better than when I add (pops) to a link… which I frequently forget to do.
I see it in your CSS is that the only place? Surely not. It’s *got* to be a plug-in… you’re not /that/ good at css.
At a guess, I suspect you’re talking about “Link Indication”? http://www.sw-guide.de/projekte/wordpress-projekte/link-indication-plugin/
and hey, I’m not /that/ bad at CSS either :p
Handy, I don’t get why you’d lose your httpd.conf when you update apache…it makes no sense for that to happen, at least not in any decent distro. Are you installing from source or a binary package? if a binary package, is it an official package or one from a secondary source?
It doesn’t make any sense at all to lose your httpd.conf when upgrading.
Of course…if you are using something non-NIX, then you are on your own, and it’s your fault
@Vox – FC4 to FC5 via something along these lines: http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/upgrading_red_hat_linux_with_yum.html (which now appears to be dead…)
Oh! RH/FC…that explains a lot
tho, honestly, it actually shouldn’t happen…there should be a n httpd.conf.rpmsave in the directory that holds your httpd.conf usually lives in….unless the apache package is badly badly made…and if it’s an official FC/RH package, I doubt that very very much.
Ah… yep, you’re right – there IS a .rpmsave there. Guess I’ll diff it out tomorrow and see how close I got. Thanks for that.
Glad to see the upgrade worked! Perhaps you should craft a post with the step you used since the original link went bad. I guess I could do it, but I’m far too lazy

Apparently he became case sensitive with urls yesterday. But there’s the link again.
