For the list and lurkers like me, I generally try to answer questions
diagnosing from the bottom up so it is always useful to have as much info
as possible, like Linux distro and any background information and any
special configuration changes you have made to the service. In this case
installing another package that has an HTTP servlet can do damage without
you realizing to port 80 services. It is good then for the outside world
when they view Hants LUG questions. Not a moan just a hint observation
guide thingy.
