I'm open to suggestions if anyone else has any ideas. It's probably going to be slow going as it's a free time project and I really don't have any free time. It's been over a month since I nuked my test box try to get a block explorer working and I have not even had time to re-image it.
Hi DaveF,
How far did you get with the Abe installation before nuking the test box?
I'm up to the point where I have fcgid installed and am trying to make Abe work through mod_fcgid so I don't have to call
http://example.com:2750 to see the chain.
The problem I'm running into is with Apache v2.4 and trying to avoid mod_cgi or ScriptAlias from getting in the way of the Abe script being executed with mod_fcgid using a handler for the Abe script. I'm pretty sure I had it right "just once" and then went to test another change in the configuration and then never had it working again and always coming up with a 500 even though permissions on the filesystem were seemingly good.
I figured once I had Abe going at its best then I'd take a look at the Insight block explorer too.
Best Regards,

If you got it working just once you are ahead of me.
I followed the step by step build. (actually found a youtube of it) Once it was running I went to 127.0.0.1 page (yes I built it on a machine with a gui) and as soon as I got there the MySQL daemon threw an error and died.
I wiped the DB and redid it, same thing.
Figuring that I because had put in an older version MySQL for compatibility reasons and that was the issue on a new OS I went to Postgre and that although not causing an error it just did nothing.
Pulled out both db and started fresh with the latest version of MySQL again and the latest version of Python everything fully up to date and then for some reason I could not get the coin daemon to run. It had been fine up until then. So some update that got installed during the 5.7.17 MySQL update or the latest Python update was causing an already compiled app not to run.
So I started to roll back packages 1 or 2 at a time, I did a reboot every time. Somewhere along the way, bam, reboot loop. So I walked away from it "for a few days" That was over a month ago...
