Upgrading Apache

Right, so now Narelle complains that her English Teaching Web site isn't indexed by Google. Why might that be? Well, my guess is that Google just requests pages, but doesn't specify a language. At the moment, there is no bridge between the French and the English pages of her site. Hence, Googlebots never get to see the French pages.

Mind you, that's just a theory: I'm not all too convinced that the French version of the photojournal is indexed either, although there are bridges there. That'd be strange.

Anyway, it means I have to rework the language support of our sites, which was needed for the photojournal as well anyway. However, I know that Apache has changed its APIs and stuff when moving to version 2, so I'll start by moving to Apache 2, which hopefully won't be harder than apt-get install apache2 (who says Linux is hard to use?)
