Yesterday i tried to replace the apache2 config in
/home/okfn/svn-okfn/trunk/etc/petition.publicgeodata.org just to put a flat file
in that directory, saying 'thanks' and pointing back to the main site. 

When i restarted apache though, nothing changed. What am i missing? 
I don't recall having to commit anything in order to propagate changes
before... I think i need a second pair of eyes.

(Using an external petition service for Benjamin's pan-Euro round of
'publicgeodata manifesto' would be a good idea. Is there a decent one?)
