I had a motherboard failure a couple of weeks ago in my CentOS server. I couldn’t get the same model to replace it, so ended up with an Asus P5Q board. Slotted in OK, but I then had all sorts of fun trying to get it running properly with CentOS 5.3. Issues being: Network card … [Read more…]
Installed Windows 7 RTM the other day. First impressions – I like it. Clean, fast, a big improvement on Vista in several areas. I like the less obtrusive UAC (you could get Vista to do the same, but this is a good compromise out of the box). A few things are going to take a … [Read more…]
Upgraded WordPress today. Had some issues but all sorted now. Very happy with CentOS, easy to use and maintain. Just need some more RAM for the server now!
Went to NZ (South Island) over the 3-day long weekend – very beautiful. Highlight had to be the hot thermal pools at Hanmer Springs. 3 days wasn’t really long enough, but it was nice to get away for a break.

With a lot of help from Google and a good howto for another Linux distro, I last night got OpenLDAP up and running on one CentOS 5.2 virtual server, and 3 other servers working as LDAP clients, one of which is now running as a Samba PDC with LDAP back-end. Added some users, set passwords, … [Read more…]
Fun running everything on the same server under SSL – Wordpress, WPG2, Gallery2.
Well, most of our web services are now live on the new server – blog, gallery and website. Webmail still to come though. Configuring it all for SSL has been a fun exercise! I have managed to get WPG2 working with Gallery2, WordPress and SSL so I will post up a howto soon.
