a different kind of development with an attitude
Slicehost has a new Kernel for their slices. 2.6.24 to be exact. They mention to request support to upgrade.
15 minutes response time on average for the past 2 support tickets I’ve ever sent.
I’m loving my Slicehost account.

Okay. That’s a weird warning, but apparently it has to do with VirtualHost configuration that I’ve never bothered to read up on or get right, because ultimately in the end, it is just a warning and Apache still gets the whole thing right.
Still, now that I’m running my own VPS, I might as well get it fixed. So here’s it.
This apparently affects Apache configurations on hosts that only have 1 IP address for a variety of domain names or subdomains. The correct fix would be to declare a single NameVirtualHost as a wildcard and have the VirtualHosts sections in the configuration define the address using the ServerAdmin directive.

Finally got SSL working with apache properly. Its still giving me warnings about namevirtualhosts but at least everything is more or less functiona.
Will probably try to get the warnings looked over at some later time.

Had enough of Site5’s lousy tech support. I think I can do better myself.
Contemplated getting hosting under mediatemple, but after reading online a little and finding out about the GPU nonsense, I guess paying the same amount for an account with Mediatemple is in no way comparable to paying the same amount to run my own server.
So here I am, at Slicehost running this on the basic 256mb slice. Not a lot but sufficient for my needs.
As usual, the setup is as follows.
Everything is distributed the way I like it. Booya.
Did I mention sweet sweet SSH access and even sweeter Subversion? Heck, I could even install Git if I wanted.
