[svlug] Apache showing -DNOHTTPACCEPT

[Skip Evans]

"D'oh!!!"

Yes, of course, I should have looked there first, 
but I got pretty caught up and stressed trying to 
find out what this directive I had never seen 
before was and I ran off on a tangent.

As soon as I looked at the error_log file I saw a 
mis-config in an .htaccess file they had copied 
from another directory without looking in it to 
see what password file it was using, hence the 
server error.

Interestingly, correcting that alone got rid of 
-DNOHTTPACCEPT from the httpd instances, and all 
is working well again.

I must apologize for a lack of diligence and calm, 
rather thoughtful analysis of a problem. When the 
client panics it is time for me to NOT to, yah.

Thanks bunches,
Skip
