Driving me NUTS
![[mail]](img/envelope.gif){kind=small}
I awoke this morning to see a message from our server that our web server had failed. But when I logged into the machine, it showed the web server humming along just fine. Normal debugging showed no problems.
But I couldn't connect to oub blogs nor to our wiki pn the press subdomain; though I could get to everything else serverd up by our web server - main web pages, other subdomains. But my browser wasn't giving me any error messages when trying to connect to something under press.teleinteractive.net, just "loading" - never timing out, never showing anything.
So, hmm... 
"Crazy", I thought... Perhaps, even though the last changes we made to the various web server configuration files were several weeks ago, that an update that I did on Friday to another package on the server was somehow causing an "infinite loop" to be happening as the web server stepped through those various configuration files. So, I started going through that debugging.
My partner sent me an IM, and in describing the problem to her, we discovered that she was having no problems getting to anything from our server at all.
I then tried different browsers, IE, Opera, Netscape - all fine. 
No, no, no... All those hours debugging the server to find out that Firefox needed to be restarted on my laptop.
Arggghhhh!!!!
