IRC [00:16] *** holycow parted the chat.
IRC [00:38] <Dossy> Apache Error Log Escape Sequence Injection Vulnerability: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9930
IRC [00:38] <Dossy> Do we even care?
IRC [00:38] <Dossy> Probably should, but man, this is pretty silly if you ask me.
IRC [03:49] *** frankie joined the chat.
IRC [08:15] *** siddfinch parted the chat.
IRC [08:18] *** siddfinch joined the chat.
IRC [11:06] <jhavard> well, I did it.
IRC [11:06] <jhavard> After whittling down the number of sites I maintain, I switched over to openacs
IRC [11:06] * jhavard is running aolserver and aolserver only.
IRC [11:36] *** frankie parted the chat.
IRC [11:48] *** holycow joined the chat.
IRC [12:35] *** bartt joined the chat.
IRC [13:17] <Dossy> wait, so are y ou running aolserver, or aolserver+openacs?
IRC [13:22] <jhavard> aolserver+openacs
IRC [13:23] <jhavard> by "aolserver only" I mean all my sites are running under aolserver (although not all are running oacs)
IRC [13:24] <Dossy> ok
IRC [13:24] <Dossy> cool :-)
IRC [13:24] <jhavard> For example: http://wisedonkey.sevensages.org/
IRC [13:24] <jhavard> nothing but static content.
IRC [13:25] <jhavard> Let me know when your eyes stop bleeding.
IRC [13:26] <Dossy> heh
IRC [13:26] <Dossy> i gotta run off to a meeting - bbl
IRC [13:27] * holycow smites jhavard down with a nerf bat
IRC [13:27] <holycow> lol
IRC [13:27] <holycow> i think my retinas have detached
IRC [13:31] <jhavard> that's not even the "good" truchet
IRC [13:33] <jhavard> (un)fortunately, I deleted the image.
IRC [13:41] <holycow> ://www.nata2.info/humor/flash/rgb.swf
IRC [13:41] <holycow> jhavard, how do you handle the virtual domains?
IRC [13:50] <jhavard> Actually, I have a very neat method of doing it.
IRC [13:50] <jhavard> First off, on the single domain that uses openacs, I don't.
IRC [13:51] <jhavard> For the other domains, my main config file uses The Power of Tcl to make configuration easy.
IRC [13:53] <jhavard> http://wisedonkey.sevensages.org/configs/main.tcl
IRC [13:54] <jhavard> http://wisedonkey.sevensages.org/configs/generic-server.tcl
IRC [13:56] <jhavard> So, the most I have to do when setting up a basic virtual host is add it to server_list in main.tcl
IRC [14:01] <jhavard> I think I'll try doing openacs as a virtual after lunch.
IRC [14:04] <holycow> backo
IRC [14:05] <holycow> no shit
IRC [14:05] <holycow> oh thats cool
IRC [14:05] <holycow> :)
IRC [14:05] <holycow> thanks for that, appreciate it
IRC [14:31] <Dossy> jhavard: are your configs based on the stuff that Jorge posted to the AOLSERVER list?
IRC [14:32] <jhavard> nope
IRC [14:32] <jhavard> I wrote that back when I first picked up on aolserver.
IRC [14:32] <jhavard> In fact, that's how I learned tcl... writing that config file.
IRC [14:34] <Dossy> good!
IRC [14:34] <Dossy> That's exactly why I can't understand why people gripe over difficulty configuring AOLserver.
IRC [14:35] <jhavard> Difficult?!
IRC [14:35] <jhavard> Hah!
IRC [14:35] <jhavard> It's easy.
IRC [14:35] <jhavard> It's logical
IRC [14:35] <jhavard> and scriptable!
IRC [14:35] <jhavard> The problem is that they want an apache-style config.
IRC [14:36] <jhavard> they want a config that works out of the box
IRC [14:37] <jhavard> These are the same folks that tend to use xml for everything.
IRC [14:37] <jhavard> "BECAUSE TEH XML IS THE BETTOR SALUTION!"
IRC [14:47] <holycow> lol
