OK, I put the fake command in and now I'm getting an error via web page: Internal Server ErrorThe server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.Here are the last two log file entries for that httpd request: 12.34.567.89 - - [19/Apr/2008:13:46:23 -0400] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 500 616 12.34.567.89 - - [19/Apr/2008:13:47:12 -0400] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 20 I Changed the IP's. I guess there were two seperate errors, the last error - even when I corrected and removed the fake command and reloaded, I could not access the site, so the second error indicates the fake message removed but all else being (supposedly) correct the same in the conf.d file. Then I deleted .htaccess and .htpasswd and now I can again access the site again. Use video conversation to talk face-to-face with Windows Live Messenger. Get started! |
