Oh, this was *worse*. It's a long weekend with the Jubilee, which means it's largely panic-stations with people getting enough food in.

No, I spent this afternoon doing the weekly shopping before this country goes mad because of the Jubilee weekend... fighting with the maddening crowds in the supermarket is almost as tiring.

Ah, yes, I see. Tiredness is wonderful for making read good.

Haven't listened to it yet, to be honest most of my recent playing has been between Blur (driving game, though the studio appears to have been closed by Activision), Torchlight and a little known game called Slydris.

@Nao, feel free to go nuts with optimising the anti spam Q&A code, I deliberately didn't optimise it while writing it because it was done in stages, and if you want to fix the alignment of buttons, please do feel free.

Sadly if only people were happy with that, people love having one-click updates to things...

Oh yes, it certainly happens if you go to cross-platform discussions (like I do at Another Admin Forum, but it's very prevalent at WebHostingTalk)

Hmm, I suppose that makes sense. Need to check on that, though, because I didn't think FPM did the whole different user thing.

Wait... how will FPM make Apache run in that user/group? FPM is what you use to run a pool of PHP processes that nginx can use...
(I've not used FPM with Apache. But the design of FPM is fundamentally stronger than doing it any other way because things aren't just shoved at FPM the way they are with other routes)

Well, it's as old as SMF, and routinely beats SMF in 'best forum' discussions and polls etc.[1]
But imagine the announcement were about simplemachines.org. That's the scale of what they have to deal with.

| 1. | Though I honestly have no idea why. The admin panel is confusing, I find it more so than SMF's! It doesn't install properly out of the box on localhost without help, and it's trying to pretend to be vBulletin 3.x. Oh, and the MyBB fans are even worse than Apple fanbois for hyping the software and ignoring competitors. There are many MyBB fans I've met who won't even sign up to an SMF forum because it's 'worse'. Until you reskin it and it doesn't look the same as SMF default themes, of course. Then they join because they don't realise it's SMF. |

Bastion is an excellent game, Psychonauts slightly less so, but easily well worth putting some cash into the mix - especially considering you get all the games for Win/Mac/Linux and you get all the soundtracks (and both Bastion and Psychonauts have great soundtracks, I haven't yet dived into the others)

I'll agree with FPM (especially as it means you can run nginx instead of Apache), but I can't in good conscience recommend suhosin. The number of times I've found software randomly break for no apparent reason just because of suhosin, I find it's more effort than it's worth.
Groups/users is sort of irrelevant if you have software that can update itself through the admin panel since that requires making the software writable by the web server user. (Yeah, I know that suPHP and PHPSuExec are supposed to do this but rarely seem to work properly in that respect)

Correct. The name in available-sites (at least that's the default Apache folder name) is only an internal name for your reference.
ServerName is the directive that tells Apache what to look for and ServerAlias is for declaring alternative variations of the same handler, exactly as you indicate - you can declare ServerName example.com and ServerAlias www.example.com and Apache will match either to find that host. ServerName must be declared once per host, but you can have as many aliases as you want.
