DISQUS

I believe there would be a more detailed error in the Error log.

In a command prompt, you can also go to your Apache /bin dir and then run

httpd -t

Which will run a syntax check and then bonk out with any syntax errors and/or complaints about missing modules.

When I have compiled Apache and needed Proxy stuff, I usually specify these modules:

- proxy
- proxy-connect-http
- proxy-balancer

I know that you are not necessarily compiling Apache, but doesnt the Windows version make all these available in the source, and they just need to be enabled? Make sure those 3 are enabled.

Wow, this is quite a mouthful. Your discourse is depressing at times, but so is our reality.

In a way I feel that there is little hope, without massive change in the government. I am a product of this country, a product of this democracy, and while I enjoy a good life, I feel that it is at the sacrifice of many.

My naive belief is that Capitalism has its flaws, mainly that there is the ever increasing desire to "make a buck". If you're a share-holder you want to increase your investment. Public companies are under the fire to increase their revenue and constantly grow. Year after year, quarter after quarter, grow, grow, grow. This is what Wall St. desires. And what happens to a company that is just "maintaining"?

I dont think it is possible to constantly grow. If you think about it on a rudimentary biological level, then yes, its /not/ true that a system can grow infinitely. Obese people have health defects, the human system does not desire over-weight people. Physics wants lean and mean systems, decrease entropy as much as possible. Everywhere you look systems desire non-infinite growth. Its not natural. And if you extend that to our financial markets then it follows that it is not natural to expect corporations (systems) to grow. But if you're Wall St, then you have this un-natural desire/pressure to grow, grow, grow.

All I am trying to say is that I think that Capitalism is as much a problem as a solution. It puts too much weight on a fantasy idea of infinite growth without considering reality. Is it truly possible for corporations to grow year over year and not have a significant impact on their environment (whether you define "environment" as being Mother Nature / societal or the welfare of the employees involved)? I dont think so.

Political lobbyists are a huge detriment to progress. If we can somehow separate politics, that is, the legislative branch, from the nectar of lobbyism then our "leaders" can make decisions that benefit the majority of our society and not just the upper class.
