More bullet-points from the field of battle:

• First I had to add shell info to each of the user accounts before FTP would work. Then I had to tell ProFTPd where it could go stick its notion of defaulting to a chroot home directory login for all users. On account of this, RDS info for many of our stations’ websites was nonexistent until midday. Argh.
• The default Apache config file in Fedora Core 3 is set not to run CGI scripts. Um, what? (This broke Mari’s and Dawn’s sites. Argh.)
• The upgrade to a newer version of PHP somehow managed to leave our comments script mysteriously broken. Luckily someone posted a simple and effective fix on the dotcomments support group. Whew. I’d never have figured that one out on my own.
• While trying to solve the previous mystery, I discovered that ‘jhead’ was missing on the server. This is a JPEG header information program that Gallery uses… and we have Gallery installed a few times on this server, donchaknow.

I’m sure there’ll be more. There’s no way I can be allowed to get more than three consecutive hours of sleep, after all…
