The joys of running websites is that you often end up troubleshooting issues that crop up. Sometimes the error can be something really simple, or fairly obvious. Like you switch to the latest version of PHP but forget to install all the required PHP modules. Other times, however, the error is more niggly than anything else, so you put it on the long finger.

Mod_Rewrite Help Needed!!
As I mentioned yesterday I switched this blog over from michele.me to michele.blog. And a BIG thanks is owed to Don and Paolo from the .blog team for helping me get that domain in the first place!

Working With SuPHP Permissions and Ownership
I switched one of my web servers over to use SuPHP a few weeks ago, as it's a lot more secure. However moving from mod_php to suPHP does require a small bit of tweaking of files and directories. Under mod_php you can easily end up with a lot of files and directories being owned by the Apache user, which on Debian / Ubuntu is "www-data". You'll need to change the ownership … [Read more...] about Working With SuPHP Permissions and Ownership
