The following error is something that took me absolutely ages to resolve so I thought i’d post it for others to read about, the error as seen in my Apache error log:

C++ is a language that’s long been an enigma too me. After looking at a few pages of C++ code when I was much younger it was catalogued in my mind as an amazingly complex language that it would take anyone weeks to learn. Five years on and my internship at Citrix Systems has finally [...]
