[Xitami] HELP - strange error making website inoperable

Still more info.

As I investigate this more it occurs to me to me that I did a MS Update for 
the server Windows 2003 server last night - it applied 13 patches.  One of 
which was a DNS patch that now reserves about 2500 UDP ports to handle a 
security issue recently found with both its DNS server and client 
applications.  This range of UDP ports goes from about 49160 to 65523 - 
consuming about a total 2500 UDP ports.

I don't know if this is necessarily affecting the Xitami/MySQL interaction, 
but it did remind of the automatic updates applied to the W2k3 server last 
night.  I was so busy, and tired, with many migration issues last night that 
I completely forgot the updates were applied.

Still...anyone have any insight where I can look?  Currently I am trying to 
find out how to uninstall those updates....the errors I am getting have to 
be related to the updates.  I think.
