I've got a site which allows for ssl and non-ssl browsing.

I've got two virtualhosts set up in Apache to handle the two scenarios, ie:

<VirtualHost *:80>
...
</VirtualHost>

and

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost *:443>
...
</VirtualHost>
</IfModule>

Now, my annoyance is that the (rather large) configuration is duplicated in both the vhosts (the only difference being the added SSL parameters in the ssl-vhost), so when I want to change something, I need to do it in both. It also feels and looks sloppy.

Is there any way to merge the two configurations?

Many thanks.

is it possible, or viable, to use Google Apps in combination with our server running Exchange 2007?

This being as we would like to keep emails securely in the cloud with Google Apps, but have the superior calendar/contact management of exchange.

What would be the best way to set this up? Let the emails arrive to Google and then have our exchange server fetch them using IMAP?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, James

I've been presented with an old MS Exchange 2003 server which contains a lot of important emails.

How would I best recover these emails?

My dream scenario would look something like this:

  1. Install program y on old server.
  2. Program y locates .xxx files containing users emails.
  3. Program y converts .xxx files into separate Outlook .pst-files for importing.

Is something like this possible?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have set up my WS2k8 R2 AD like so:

The OU "OU1" contains a security group called "GROUP1". I have applied some group policy to "OU1". The group policy is enforced.

My users are located in the default "Users" OU. The users are members of the group "GROUP1".

The problem is that the GP does not get applied to the users.

If I create users in the "OU1" OU, the policies get applied as they should.

Very grateful, James

my friend has asked me to come and install a new switch he bought.

alt text

The top two panels are just the panels that connect to the cabling throughout the floor. The third panel is the switch which I'm about to replace.

My question is, what is the box underneath it? Is has a networked hdd and a wireless phone thing standing on it. Close up:

I would really like to know what it is and what it does before I start changing things. There is no existing network documentation. I'm guessing it might do something with the telephone lines as they are about 10 numbers on the premises.

Very grateful,

James

I am installing a network and server for clients. The server will be running TS which users will use to access MYOB enterprise. There are 10 computers connected locally in a domain at the office. There are about 5 external users.

My question is, would it be better using the server to store the files for internal users, and have external users remote desktop in to edit/use them - or - would it be better using dropbox on all computers, internal and external?

Will remote desktop let several users view the same file at once? I know I've had problems with this in the past. I'll be using Windows Server 2008 R2. Dropbox lets users access the same file, and if they both save it, one will be saved as a conflicting copy.

What are your thoughts?

Much appreciated, James

Ive been struggling the last couple of hours with setting up DKIM on my Postfix/CentOS 5.3 server.

It finally sends and signs the emails, but apparently Google still does not like it. The errors I'm getting are:

dkim=neutral (bad version) [email protected]

from googles "show original" interface.

This is what my DKIM-signature header look like:

v=1; a=rsa-sha1; c=simple/simple; d=mydomain.com.au; s=default; t=1267326852; bh=0wHpkjkf7ZEiP2VZXAse+46PC1c=; h=Date:From:Message-Id:To:Subject; b=IFBaqfXmFjEojWXI/WQk4OzqglNjBWYk3jlFC8sHLLRAcADj6ScX3bzd+No7zos6i KppG9ifwYmvrudgEF+n1VviBnel7vcVT6dg5cxOTu7y31kUApR59dRU5nPR/to0E9l dXMaBoYPG8edyiM+soXo7rYNtlzk+0wd5glgFP1I=

Very appreciative of any suggestions as to how I can solve this problem!

Btw, here is exactly how I installed dkim-milter in CentOS 5.3 for postfix, if anyone is interested (based on this guide):

First post - was directed here from stackoverflow!

The problem: Google marks seemingly correctly formatted emails from my apache/postfix server as spam. Sample email as follows;

(I have replaced my domain with mydomain.com.au and the IP with a pretend IP)

how did you hear about us: Newspaper
  • I have tried sending it to non-google emails, and they arrive fine.
  • I have tried posting to several different google accounts, all end up as spam.
  • Mydomain.com.au uses Google Apps as email provider.
  • I have added "v=spf1 a mx ~all" as TXT in my NS.
  • I used http://remote.12dt.com/ to check reverse DNS and the IP seems to be resolving back to the domain name just fine.
  • My IP is not blacklisted in spam-lists (as far as my checks can tell). I host at www.jumba.com.au - in Australia.

The headers seem fine, and the SPF look up seems to pass (?).. Any ideas?

Kind regards
