Late nights are good for some Linux work…
Yeap.. especially when you’re half asleep and you’ll make mistakes that will never happen during daytime…
So late last night (or early this morning, if that’s what you like you call it) I was trying to install RT (Request Tracker) and RTFM (RT FAQ Manager, not Read The Fucking Manual, you moron!) together with Paul, remotely onto our server in US…
We started the installation at 2.40am and ran into a few hiccups… first we didn’t have any mod_perl or FastCGI for our Apache web server… it was supposed to work on plain vanilla CGI anyway, but there’s no way to figure that out since the manual didn’t mention anything and the RT mailing list archive came up nothing related to our problems… decided to install the module, and then due to some misconfiguration on the httpd.conf file, we still couldn’t get it to work until finally, it worked at around 4.40am!
Yeap, a whole 2 hours to tinker and get it running… gosh, during that period I think we restarted apache over 30 times! And then we both decided it was enough and went to catch some sleep…
And this morning at 11am I was dragged out of bed by my dad, just because he wanted a letter printed… He was up last night as long as I did, why didn’t he bother to ask for the letter printed back then? Arggh! Now I can’t sleep!
It should be outlawed to drag someone out of the bed so early when one slept at 5am!
