+## history not loading issue (possible fix)
+
+For a day or so i had a bug in the install script turning symbolic links in /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled into copies of the files they were pointing to.
+
+This can cause some other issues with my install script which fiddles with the lighttpd config files to make mod_setenv work.
+
+Anyhow if just rerunning the install script does not fix your history loading issue, you can try this:
+
+```
+cd /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled
+for i in *; do if [ -f "../conf-available/$i" ]; then sudo ln -s -f "../conf-available/$i" $i; fi; done
+```
+
+After that rerun the install script.
+If you still have history loading issues, get back to me via the github issues or the various forums i frequent.
