And when someone visited the post it tried to regenerate a new short url (and this often resulted in 4-5 short urls being created) with title “301 moved permanently”.

Overall, tracking 891 links, 93,876 clicks, and counting!

I first thought the problem lied with my odd server setup (nginx proxying an nginx proxying an Apache -- don't ask, it's a long story ;)) but manually doing API calls did generate a short url without any problems...

I quickly disabled my tweet-on-publish option and didn’t really figure out why this was suddenly happening (except that my yourls site moved to a new server).

That’s when I had this magnificent idea… Check if cURL is installed… ;)

And guess what; it wasn’t.

So be sure to install curl and php5-curl (and to restart Apache). Seems like that solved all my problems!

Just updated the old, somewhat boring theme, to this new white, clear and simple theme.

Let’s see how long it takes me this time before I grow tired of it. ;)

Also Yourls is now fully functional (see page sources for the short URL) on this blog. It’s now also using the yeri.be domain instead of tuinslak.be… Made more sense (length-wise). ;)
