When moving a magento instance to a new server, it seems the product cache exhibits some very strange behavior making a fix to the new server almost impossible after the fact. That means the problem is an imprecise backup and transfer process. The problem seems to be a result of a mismatch between the database and some files (cache).
Apache Permissions on ServerRoot Directories In typical operation, Apache is started by the root user, and it switches to the user defined by the User directive to serve hits. As is the case with any command that root executes, you must take care that it is protected from modification by non-root users. Not only must the files themselves be writable...

I found a lot of misleading and confusing How-To stuff when installing an SSL certificate on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Apache 2.22. I also share most people confusion when it comes to encryption. Only after a lot of repetition has the fog begun to clear. It helps to realize: The “key” is your PRIVATE file. Don’t ever share it. Its stays...
There are so many variation of how to setup Apache VirtualHost that its difficult for a beginner to figure it all out. Here is how I have found works best for a LAMP server that you own. If its not a standard Linux distro (Debian/Ubuntu here) all bets are off. sudo vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/www.example.com copy this code into the file <VirtualHost...
One of the real problems is later finding where Apache puts the various files you need to manager Apache (in many different directories in Ubuntu). I can highly recommend Linode installations. Easy, fully functional, optimized, ready to go, LAMP stack. Apache Configuration Files Apache2 is configured by placing directives in plain text configuration files. These directives are in these directories:...
