I just found this post from Earl detailing a fix for the hang that ecto experiences trying to pull category info from Wordpress 2.1.

The Modssl howto is gone.

Folks, it’s almost 2007. I can’t think of a single Linux distribution that doesn’t ship with an SSL-enabled web server. Use the one that came with your distribution. If your needs are so specific that you need to build your own, you probably already know what to do.
