 * Hi
 * I’ve been using WordPress for the last 2 months and it’s been working like a 
   charm.
 * I use it by using localhost, linux, running apache2, mysql, … (LAMP)
 * However, today – about an hour ago, I was editing my menu (adding more categories
   to the main menu) and I noticed it just wouldn’t add it and it “froze”…
 * I thought, lets just restart apache2 and see if it is fixed… and now it won’t
   load my site anymore…
 * It says “Waiting for localhost…” but seems just endlessly stuck, doing nothing…
 * Anyone know how I can solve this ? I really must work on the site…

 * It worked again after restarting computer and completely shutting down apache
   for 5 minutes…
