Red Hat announced a while back that they'd stop supporting Red Hat 7.x at the end of december 2003. So -- in order to keep getting the latest bug fixes and security patches, all cornerhost servers have been upgraded to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0.

The biggest change is that we're now running Apache 2.0. This shouldn't affect most users, but if you're doing fancy .htaccess tricks, you might need to change some things. There are also a few other small problems that have cropped up, and this page is meant to keep track of how to fix them.

problem: blogger won't upload files

The new FTP server disagrees with blogger (and with me) about how a tilde (~) should behave. If you're getting a "can't create file" error in blogger, just remove the ~/ from the front of the "PATH" in blogger's publish settings page - make it "web/YOURDOMAIN/" instead of "~/web/YOURDOMAIN" and you should be fine.

(Do the same thing for archives if you use them too - just remove the ~/ )

mod_gzip is gone

There is no mod_gzip anymore. Apache 2.0 uses mod_deflate instead.

If you have directives for mod_gzip in your config files, it will cause an internal server error. Just get rid of them.

handler change

Instead of AddHandler, you want an output filter:

# this:
#AddHandler server-parsed .html

# becomes:
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .html

# or:
#<Files *.html>
#SetOutputFilter INCLUDE
#</Files>
