We use apache, mod_php, and mod_wsgi to serve a central wordpress site, with some paths instead powered by Django, so for example these pages might be powered by Wordpress:

oursite.com/
oursite.com/video/

but these URL's might be Django-powered:

oursite.com/our-cool-django-app/
oursite.com/schedule/

Right now, we use a long list of WSGIScriptAlias to map particular paths to Django. This annoying and labor intensive.

So, is there a way that we can configure things such that:

  • One or the other first attempts to handle the URL (I'm not too concerned) first
  • If that handler returns a 404, try the other one

I'm particularly interested in an Apache solution, but will consider alternatives.

We have a web server (on Slicehost) with an IP address that has been blacklisted in at least one DNSRBL (FIVETEN).

The host is not currently a source of mail, in fact all mail for the domain goes through Google apps. The only association between the domain and the host is the "A" record. My understanding of blacklisting is that it's only servers in the SMTP path that matter.

Meanwhile mail (personal, direct email, not bulk) from the domain seems to be getting blocked and/or silently discarded by certain recipients. We may even have a case of a host refusing to send mail to the domain, which is also troubling (I haven't yet confirmed if this has happened more than once though).

The questions then:

  • can the lost email and the RBL'ed web server be a related phenomena?

  • if not what other troubleshooting do you recommend for the email issue?

Also I'd appreciate any comments on the relative importance of the FIVETEN DNSRBL, is it worth caring about? http://www.five-ten-sg.com/blackhole.php

When an OST file is corrupted, Outlook (2007) complains:

""" Errors have been detected in the file blah.ost. Quit Outlook and all mail-enabled applications, and then use the Inbox repair tool(Scanpst.exe) to diagnose and repair the file """

Living right next to scanpst.exe is scanost.exe which, so far as I can tell:

  • Only works with OST Files
  • Lets you browse your mailbox hierarchy, rather than make you locate outlook0.ost and scan the whole file.

My question is: Is there a functional difference between doing a verify and repair of an OST file in ScanPST vs a "scan all folders" ScanOST?

Or, more concise: Is there ever a reason to use both?
