Burninate [repair]?
+1 for TomTom's phone... although if it's his phone it might be running LAMP and RAID.

Are cpanel questions really 'professional sysadmin' related?
@EightBitTony Agreed. Just the same as many other panel systems. But as others have stated, there may be a legit need or interaction revolving around cPanel or another panel system. Like you said, all about how the question is asked, not the underlying technology being used.

John, probably the best explanation I have seen so far. I wasn't aware of the election process until I saw the thread on SO for next years mods. Thanks for the simple answer.

Should questions that are sysadmin-relevant but not sysadmin-specific be closed as Off Topic?
@lain Forgive me, I have work to attend to during the day, however in my experience on all SE sites the COMMUNITY does a good job of down voting questions that aren't worthwhile. Again, it should be about providing knowledge to help better the community without having to worry about one individual making a decision that a particular post is two inches over a threshold.

@lain You must really like to work alone. The point of a community is to be inclusive of everyone regardless of skill level, yes there are bad questions, we do a good job of down voting those, but most are productive and have a point.

Fair enough. Little harsh on the "not bothered to learn" though. We used to run Tomcat on Windows, worked great!

Ah, well that sucks. Seems like the best action to support the community as a whole would be to migrate. Thanks for clarifying, it certainly helps and I really do understand the various "limitations". Thanks for doing what you do.

Thanks @ChrisS that makes sense. I have a suggestion though that if you think a question would be better served on another forum then as a community lets move it to the right place as opposed to just closing it. Is that harder for you as moderators to accomplish due to system limitations?

When I said server I meant that he was trying to get Apache Server running, which is a server system, I was not referring to the OS. Again, I understand the position it just seems like you could see what he was getting at here and it feels like it falls under the guise of a server. Am I crazy?

I get that, but his question applies to a server environment in his post! He wants to disable the log for a SERVER, he should be able to do this regardless of the operating system that he uses. And again, why wasn't his question migrated. If people ask the wrong question for a certain community at least help them out with moving it to the right place.
