Okay, We Are Back!

Okay, after a 3 day downtime from a damning configuration error, darkernemesis.com is back.

For anyone that is interested, the problem I was having was that URLs weren't being read properly so individual entries, albums, and photos, and a schloo of other pages weren't working properly. I kept getting an error that simply said "No Input File Specified". Descriptive, isn't it. I thought so. After 3 days of using Google and support forums to try to solve my problem, I figured out that I needed to set one variable in the php.ini file.

So, if anyone is experiencing the same issue (PHP5 as CGI) and are using the php explode() function to parse their URLs to make them more search engine friendly, and are frustrated with not being able to figure out what is causing the problem, add the following line to your php.ini file:

cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1

Not that anyone cares, but it solved my problem, hopefully it could theoretically fix yours too.
