It says Download Fedora Core 5 now in bold letters on top of the front page for the last 8 days. What else do you expect? :)

All of these work 100% reliably after a standard installation. Do not play with configuration options that you do not understand, and you will not break anything. In the unlikely case that you really need to modify something, read the manual first, and make a backup of all files you modify.
Also, please do note that this is not the Linux-Beginner-HOWTO. Documentation is available at http://www.apache.org, http://www.php.net, and http://www.mysql.com, as well as http://www.tldp.org/.

Again, stop playing with things you don't understand. A mainstream distribution like Fedora (or Ubuntu, likewise) installs everything in a more or less failsafe manner that works without any problems and is just perfect for 99.9% of all users. Do not tamper with it, and it will work.

If you absolutely need the "But I am root, I can modify every setting!" feeling, then learn how to do things before touching anything (also, in this case, gentoo would be rather what you want).

Oh, I hadn't seen that bold text, but I wasn't reading carefully anyway.  My mind was a little numb because of some coding that I had done earlier...

I understand, I'm sure that you have heard of a lot of people that tinker with settings, and all I was trying to get was that I've never been in a situation where a complete install was done and things didn't work straight out of the box on any level...Personally, I hate messing with settings that I don't understand but I also hadn't researched the stuff either...Just for that procise reason and because I hadn't had time...

I just didn't know if you ran into this as well...
