Unable to access the SharePoint Default.aspx Page due to WebPart

-
Have you ever encountered a situation where after you've added a rogue WebPart into the SharePoint site's default.aspx page, the site perpetually complains "An unexpected error has occurred."?

Such a rogue WebPart effectively blocks a user from entering the site to even correct the issue.

The solution is rather simple:
  1. note the site URL (e.g. http://mymoss/sites/mysite/default.aspx)
  2. add "?content=1" to the end of the URL (e.g. http://mymoss/sites/mysite/default.aspx?content=1)
  3. at the Web Part Page Maintenance, remove the rogue WebPart and you're done!

How to troubleshoot Apache Web Server?

Something like: Listen 80 ServerName myserver.com:80 ServerAdmin admin@myserver.com #ServerRoot " . " ServerRoot " /usr/local/apache2 " User nobody Group nobody #DocumentRoot " ..\wwwroot " DocumentRoot " /home/data/html " ErrorLog " logs/basic_apache.log " LogLevel debug #LoadModule log_config_module modules/mod_log_config.dll LoadModule log_config_module modules/mod_log_config.so <IfModule log_config_module> LogFormat " %h %l
