After fiddling with twiki and apache2, trying to get user authentication on the twiki working - the twiki scripts just began hanging - no response, nothing in the logs, just connect and hang.
In exasperation I sent the thing a shutdown -r now.....and it hasn't come back (machine is in a remote location). Its sort of there - attempts to ssh back into the machine don't fail - they hang. Ditto http.
So I'm ready to start over on this with something modern. I'm gonna need a free Oracle BTW - I know they support redhat - should I expect that it will also work on debian?
There are too many options here for my poor head.
