Dougal Campbell's geek ramblings

WordPress, web development, and world domination.

Server update

Earlier today, I upgraded the webserver on this box to the latest versions of Apache, PHP, mod_ssl, and a few other things. I still need to go back and do some tweaking, since the a lot of configuration file paths were different from my previous compiles. Currently, I’ve got a hodgepodge of symbolic links and config file hacks acting as a bandaid. If you notice anything misbehaving, please let me know.

    Okay, there have been some itermittent funky things happening, but I think I’ve tracked a couple of them down. The more major item was that the new compile of PHP was looking in a different location for the php.ini file. I’ve fixed that, which should hopefully eliminate some of the stranger problems.

    The more minor item is that the WordPress get_links_list() function has been changed so that section headers now get an <h2> tag around them, which made some of my sidebar headers become huge. I’ve modified my styles to compensate as a quick fix, but I still need to go back and add the header elements to my other section titles, to be more semantically correct.
