Upgrades, semester prep

Upgrading to postgresql 8.2
- did a pg_dumpall to save the old data
- it did not create a new 8.2 etc config, so I copied the 8.1
- now it is complaining about not having a locale to start under
- created a new database with initdb
- it still does not run from /etc/init.d
- it seems to run from /usr/lib/postgresql/8.2/bin/postgres -D /var/lib/postgresql/8.2
- strange
- data seems moved over, (pg_restore), but unclear if it will boot on its own now

Apache
- php is giving me fits
- it seems it was not enabled
- removed a couple of AllowOverride None, since it was complaining that they
were useless, I thought they were nice for documentation though

Subversion
- with the move to the new authentication, need to update this
- some progress, but I am having trouble with the authz parts of things

I spent hours on this, finally it seems that I was missing a line
AuthBasicProvider ldap
in my config. blech, it had been working before, and after the upgrade it stopped.
those are the sorts of things that are really frustrating
