Finally! i installed OpenX Ad Server and was getting a require_once() Pear error all because their script requires .:.:/usr/bin/pear in the include path…(yes .:.: not just .:) yours is the only website in all of google with that one line that finally made it all click for me!

Big Thank You!

Ryan, you really saved my bacon here. I had a subdomain.example.com so the big SCARY wasn’t necessary. Thanks so much for your post, this was a hair puller for me yesterday, betting my Flex app with php webservice deployed to a CentOS box with Plesk. Thanks again for taking the time to post. –Doug in Paia, HI

@Ian Thanks for point that out (updated now), Vim purgatory is no place to spend time, it’s happened to me before.

As for your other point, for a Media Temple it would be ‘apachectl graceful’, I went with the init stop/start after reading a knowledge base article outlining an Apache restart, but you’re quite right, that command is more proper, as I say I’m no expert. ;-)

I’m sure you meant ‘:wq’ not just ‘wq’ unless you want people stuck in Vim purgatory!

You should also restart Apache with ‘apache2ctl graceful’ not by interacting directly with the init job.

Ian.
