Well I wish you luck, have fun on vacation and the warning you have at the top is amazing (I don’t know why I think that.) so I think you’re safe.

The message at the top really looks nice.

Yeah, I noticed the day before yesterday when trying to read your post on Comment Spam. None of your posts were showing up in my feedreader, (Thunderbird), and I couldn’t get them from your home page. However, between the warning at the top, this post, and your changing things to non-rewritten URLs I think the site will be fine over your holiday. Have fun and don’t worry about it until you get back!

Hey Wolfgang, don’t worry yourself too much… enjoy your vacation! We’ll all be here when you get back :D.

I was having this problem a few days ago… In your apache configuration file, add this: <code> <Directory "physical/dir/to/your/site"> AllowOverride All </Directory> </code> My server, Westhost, turned AllowOverride to “None” on my site “for security reasons” and didn’t tell me. Once I figured it out, it was an easy fix.

I thought your blog allowed some xhtml tags, guess not. Ignored the <code> tags... they were for display.

Unfortunately this site is hosted on an IIS not an Apache webserver. So I have to rely on ISAPI rewrite. By the way I’ve just received a mail from my provider stating that they have upgraded their servers and that they have problems installing the ISAPI rewrite plugin. Anyway I gonna enjoy my vacation. If I find a hot spot I may check whether the rewrite already works or not. Take care, Wolfgang

It’s quite alright, no harm done. In fact, I think you ought to keep it like this, as that banner on the top is so darn lovely. ;)

Hope you get your rewrites turned back on soon but in the meantime I’m going to admire the cool message at the top. Great design.

Who cares about the links? I can stare at the beautiful index page all day! =D

Ahh… I changed off of ISS a few months ago for various reasons… but the difficult rewriting engine was one of them. But it seems your problem was not the engine, it was the server. I really get upset when servers make upgrades that screw up my site. Well, have a good trip man.

It’s really annoying, having problems with your website while you are about to go on vacation, or already having it. Not to mention having your vacation in a place that has no internet access, like I did. But my problem was a failure renewal of my domain name and hosting account, which expiry date comes at the middle of my vacation, and because the hosting company system had a problem with reading my credit card information they have already on my account records, the automatic renewal failed and my website sound as history for a while, before they send me an apology for that horrible mistake!
