experience with apache on opensuse 11.4

Today I had a apache webserver, which did not serve the page it was supposed to. It gave an "access denied" error. It turns out that the        
Options +FollowSymLinks
was in the <Location> block instead of the <Directory> block. Well. The funy thing was, that in order to let the configuration change take effect, a restart of apache was required. That is, I moved the Options thingy to the Directory block. But for checking I moved it back, and for that to take effect, a reload was enough. So for one change a restart is required, but for reversing the effect, a reload is enough. Strange, isn't it? (it took me hours to discover this, since I though a reload would be enough for both changes ...)

So finally I made it. If there is one piece of advice that is to be given: Read the objectives! Read the man pages of all the tools and files mentioned! Use all the tools and files at least once!

And: if you don't allready have a good background with X, don't spend too much time with it. There is plenty to know about it, but very little with relevance to the exam. If you do well in the other sections, you might just skip X.
