How to Vote, 2006

At least, this's how I'm voting:

All Republicans.

No on Irma Raker, due to activism on death penalty (sorry if I'm mistaken, Irma).

Tommy Le for BoE; the others are too radical.

Scofield for BoE, or Kauffman. Navarro too radical.

Question 1: against.
Question 2: for.
Question 3: for.
Question 4: against (needs a whole bunch of changes).
Question A: against (no language concerning members who already have another job).
Question B: for.




Get the new Windows Live Messenger! Try it!

Setting Up Apache: Unable to Open Logs

So, first the installer won't run. So I have to use the cmd window, do a msiexec /a on the .msi file.
 
Then, I have to manually change @@ServerRoot@@ and @@DocumentRoot@@ and some other @@ items.
 
Then start it manually with httpd -k install. Then try to start it with net start apache2. This gets me
The Apache2 service could not be started.
A service specific error occurred: 1.
Had to create htdocs folder in my @@DocumentRoot@@ folder. OK. Then it was
Unable to open logs
So I had to create a logs folder there too.
 
But the same error occurs! Only this time there are entries in the error.log file - can't file mime.types. Apparently some or all the files in conf/default have to be copied to conf.
 
And it works!
 
Hope this helps someone. Why the installation isn't easier is beyond me.
