Hah. When I left job[-2] 18 months ago, they were still running FC7 as a public-facing web server. I had no control over that either, as the Devs weren't interested in upgrading or migrating. I had to keep it running but had no choice but to leave that steaming pile right there since the Devs never bothered to document an install process that anyone else could use.

I do that sometimes, but usually only when I'm giving them one of those "go hire a professional" non-answers.

Whining about downvoting generally doesn't do much to engender respect. Answer a few questions or ask some good ones, and we'll see.

I regret only that I have but one upvote to give for this question.

Hope it goes better than the last 2 or 3 times the FAQ/Help system has come up for revision......

It's possible. I don't know how it works either. Perhaps there needs to be more repercussion for primarily posting questions that more closely resemble a steaming pile.

@einpoklum You don't have the slightest idea what you're spouting off about. Try learning how the Community actually works before slandering others.

You're banging on about a question posted 20 months ago when we had a completely different set of FAQ and Help docs? Get a grip.

@SvW You address one of my issues perfectly. If a question can be solved by a simple Google search with a quoted string, it's too elementary for ServerFault and needs to be punted. 80% of what I flagged I feel falls under the category of n00b question. If you disagree, you ALL are free to disagree and vote accordingly.

Granted, I'm the one going through and closing the crap from the user, but that's what the review queue is for. If you think the questions should be left open, I encourage you to vote to do so. That's why it takes 5 votes to close. Personally, I think tha user posts crap so frequently that they're abusing the system and many of them should simply be outright deleted.

Frankly, there's so much utter crap and I have so little time to deal with it that I've given up.

Sorry to say, but having an expectation that people will help you figure out how to develop and deploy a new application on a 12 year old version of Linux is just ridiculous.
