[svlug] Apache showing -DNOHTTPACCEPT

I suspect "-DNOHTTPACCEPT" is just a runtime error condition flag:  The
process instance was starting up, but with a flag set saying "You're
running in failure mode, at the moment:  Don't answer HTTP queries,
except to say that you're on strike because of an internal error."

The question, then, was why.  Invariably, that turns out to be a severe
configuration file error, .htaccess error, or permissions / ownership
error on some key file -- and the error_log file gets full details.

So, in short, you merely looked up the wrong thing:  Looking up "500
Internal Server Error", rather than "-DNHTTPACCEPT", would have taken
you to the right information, quickly.
