   Do I wish to keep troubleshooting this issue, or do I wish to rebuild the VPS from scratch, kill apache immediately, go through the entire setup process, and see if that works? That's 1-2 hours of work. Troubleshooting could be much longer, and neither guarantees a positive outcome.

   A wise man would take a break. I am not that man.

     @silverwizard I genuinely appreciate the offer. Though, I'm not set up on any of those platforms, so that's a bit more to keep in my brain.

     I may just start over, but I've got a couple more ideas in me.

     @silverwizard As for problems, I've run into issues with Apache, with my defaults of my old web host's OS image, and then the biggest problem has been nginx, though it's likely apache is the root cause of that issue.

     Time will tell.

     @silverwizard If I can figure this out properly, I'm going to spin up a VM and build a mastodon instance on it to serve as a guide for other newbies trying to set up. If I can cover some of the issues I've run into, maybe it'll help others. Plus, if I do the job well enough, I may get a little ad revenue from the video or something. :)

     @silverwizard Not intentionally. Apache is pre-installed with the OS. If I nuke & pave, I'm going to do everything I can to scrub everything apache from the system before I install nginx. Perhaps that will help. The remaining issues feel like a port conflict, but I can't find it.
