Run chkconfig to make sure the set of services to be run is # correct. # Run fmtutil-sys --all, which does something that makes TeX work. # Ensure that PHP isn't broken: # # mkdir /tmp/sessions # # chmod 01777 /tmp/sessions # Reboot the machine to restore a consistent state, in case you # changed anything. # (Optional) Beat your head against a wall. # Possibly perform other steps that I've neglected to put in this # document.
