# Apache: Your host is an idiot

Ok, I broke my Web server and I didn't even notice. I broke it so badly that when it re-started, it didn't even create an access_log. I noticed it a few minutes ago, switched over to my backup Web machine, fixed the problem, and re-launched the primary Web server.
What did I do? I removed the default cURL RPM that came with FC3 and replaced it with cURL compiled from source.
Unfortunately, PHP couldn't find libcurl.
I am amazed the server was still running in any form.
Off to run some more tests...UGH.
