Greetings; I found the problem, something had replaced the index.html, which was a link to the front-page.html of my web site with the default apache index.html.
Restored that by rm'ing the renamed copy of it, then cp'd the ~ version back to the real one, voila! Web page functions normally. I haven't a clue what did that, I did not run anything that would have changed that while attempting to make it do an automatic conversion of an http access into an https access. So whatever did do it, I want to protect it from everything including me until such time as I remove the protections so I can edit it. But I cannot make those links immutable, chattr won't let me. And apparently I can't remove the owners write perms. So how can I freeze these solid until I restore write perms? Is there a way to do this? Thank you.
