Fenux.Net - The Life of a Geek

So I've got the server set up and I'm migrating websites to it. I've got most of them moved (the easy ones) and I'm working on the others. On the 17th website I ran into a problem. Apache would just crash on me. It was weird.

Every time I create a new website on the server, it adds the www user that Apache runs under to the domain's group. Apparently, FreeBSD has a limit of 16 groups that a user can be a member of by default. It's a little variable to change in /usr/src/sys/sys/syslimits.h. I set it up to 50, but now I've got to recomiple the whole operating system to make it work. If only it would let me change it on the fly. Silly programmers.
