Re: [GTALUG] Websites down after upgrade

Everything was fine. Something went wrong during the upgrade and one of the troubleshooting things I tried was to uninstall and reinstall apache. I didn't realize that that disabled all of the sites and modules. On Fri, Sept 15, 2023, 10:40 William Park via talk wrote: > That begs a
