Edit: OK, it looks like the fix has survived the test of time. Yay!
Boring techie stuff.
I have a handful of services spread across a handful of virtual servers, and I’m consolidating them. One of them is arguing with my wordpress install (well, technically, it keeps dropping the http/https iptables filter rule allowing connections from the world at large). I think I’ve got it bandaided, but if everything goes unresponsive, that’s why. I’m still untangling why, so I don’t know if I have a permanent fix yet.
Just letting all zero readers of this know.
Cheers!
