Almost Broke My Server
In making some remote tweaks, I managed to munge something that made the webserver stop responding!
I'm just trying to tweak the Apache web server and get some stuff to behave. Specifically, I couldn't get into my Bugzilla installation because I missed a line in the Apache server's configuration. I made the correction and restarted the server. Poof! I couldn't reach any page on any of the sites hosted on the server. Made me sweat in my seat for a bit!
I think it ended up being the firewall at the office causing disruptions to the server. When I tried through the HTTP tunnel on my Webmin installation, I could get to the sites served by the server, but I couldn't get them from the office's firewall. Made me nervous.
