What I find strange is that the common files package seems to be installed,
but some of the files in it are not installed. That seems to be the hurdle
that I can't pass, though that is more likely to demonstrate my knowledge
limits rather than computer problems.
There's a lot of brainpower going into this issue from several people. I
wonder, would I be better off just forgetting it, uninstalling apache and
using something like lighttpd. I ask this as a genuine request for opinion
as I have absolutely no experience at all with "lighty" and have seen mixed
reviews.
