			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Reason </strong>why you see this message is due to PHP memory leakage. PHP is trying to load a large image or file into memory and is not finding enough space for it to load.</p>
<p>If you think, that you will need the necessary feature to upload large files then there are two ways by which you can enable this feature.</p>
<p><em>i) Edit the physical file and have the line</em><br />
<strong>ini_set(&#8220;memory_limit&#8221;,&#8221;20M&#8221;);</strong></p>
<p><em>ii) Edit php.ini </em>and add the following line. You need to restart the apache/IIS server once php.ini file is modified.<br />
<strong>memory_limit=32M</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are different variants of Linux in the market like <strong>RedHat, Debian, CentOS, Ubuntu, Mandrake, Suse</strong> and a Linux beginner often ponder why they call Linux distributions by various names. The kernel or the heart of all the distributions is Linux and in bringing it to different market usage different community or vendors have adopted the kernel to serve that purpose.<br />
<span id="more-863"></span><br />
<em>Some of the key differences in these distributions are listed below</em>,</p>
<p><strong>Usage</strong>: In addition to the different flavors of Linux in the market, comes the usage of Linux. Some variants are developed as Desktops and a major as servers. In addition to that, there are virtual appliances that are packaged with other applications for easy deployment across environments. The choice is many and the usage determines the choice of the Linux flavor in most cases.</p>
<p><strong>Client Support</strong>: All distributions are open source &#8211; FREE for usage. Red Hat and Ubuntu are maintained by organizations which provide commercial support which bigger organizations prefer. CentOS, Debian, Fedora are maintained by volunteers.</p>
<p><strong>Commands used</strong>: For an administrator it will be easy if ALL the systems in the network use the same distribution. Some commands that are used to achieve a functionality are not consistent across distributions.</p>
<p><strong>Packaging</strong>: Feature enhancements, application patches, software installation and management differ from one distribution to the other making the need for the administrator to remember the subtle keys. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This will be a simple step by step tutorial to help beginners catch up with ASTERISK &#8211; an open source tool for voice communication. It is a software installation of PBX connecting even the PSTN and VOIP networks. </p>
<p>Originally developed for Linux, Asterisk now runs on a variety of operating systems including Solaris, Windows and MacOS.</p>
<p><strong>Environment setup</strong><br />
<a href="http://kurinchilamp.kurinchilion.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/asterisk-home-networking.jpg"><img src="http://kurinchilamp.kurinchilion.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/asterisk-home-networking-300x147.jpg" alt="" title="asterisk-home-networking" width="300" height="147" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-839" /></a><br />
<span id="more-837"></span><br />
Asterisk server is configured on a <em>HP dx5150 AMD Athlon, 512 MB RAM, 40 GB machine running CentOS</em>.<br />
<em>Softphones used in the tutorial</em>: Zoiper is used for IAX2 communication and X-Lite for SIP. Both the softphones are configured on Windows XP.</p>
<p><strong>Asterisk: Step by Step</strong><br />
<strong>1) Download the asterisk software</strong> from <a href="http://www.asterisk.org/downloads">asterisk.org</a>. We will be going with the base build and not use other softwares like AsteriskNow or PBXinaFlash for the moment.</p>
<p><strong>2) Setup asterisk repo to ease future upgrades to asterisk</strong><br />
$ cd /etc<br />
$ touch asterisk.repo<br />
$ vi asterisk.repo<br />
<em><br />
[asterisk-tested]<br />
name=CentOS-$releasever &#8211; Asterisk &#8211; Tested<br />
baseurl=http://packages.asterisk.org/centos/$releasever/tested/$basearch/<br />
enabled=0<br />
gpgcheck=0<br />
#gpgkey=http://packages.asterisk.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-Digium</p>
<p>[asterisk-current]<br />
name=CentOS-$releasever &#8211; Asterisk &#8211; Current<br />
baseurl=http://packages.asterisk.org/centos/$releasever/current/$basearch/<br />
enabled=1<br />
gpgcheck=0<br />
#gpgkey=http://packages.asterisk.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-Digium</em></p>
<p><strong>3) Install asterisk on CentOS and start up asterisk</strong><br />
$ yum install asterisk16 asterisk16-configs asterisk16-voicemail libpri</p>
<p>[Source: Check <a href="http://www.asterisk.org/downloads/yum">asterisk.org</a>]</p>
<p>To enable auto start of asterisk<br />
$ chkconfig asterisk on</p>
<p>Start/stop/restart asterisk using the commands<br />
$ service asterisk start<br />
$ /etc/init.d/asterisk restart<br />
$ service asterisk stop</p>
<p>To test asterisk service type<br />
$ asterisk -r</p>
<p><strong>4) Register with a VOIP Service provider</strong><br />
To search for the <a href="http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/VOIP+Service+Providers">VOIP provider </a> you can use<br />
voip-info.org which has an extensive list of service proivders categorized by region based on different<br />
market segmentation. </p>
<p>Once you have registered with a VOIP Service provider, they will give you<br />
<strong>IAX2/SIP Account (your phone number) : NNNNNNNNNN<br />
Account password : PPPPPPPP<br />
IAX2/SIP Server name : myiax.voipprovider.org</strong></p>
<p>So far, we have detailed the environment, setup asterisk on a CentOS server and have registered for an account with a VOIP provider. In the next tutorial, we will see how to configure asterisk settings and to setup an IAX extension for a softphone (soft client) running on windows XP.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Migrating SSL certificates: CPanel, WHM</strong></p>
<p>Possible Scenarios<br />
i) Server load balancing<br />
ii) Moving web sites between servers</p>
<p>Find where the SSL certificates, private keys are installed in the old server and gzip the certs<br />
<strong>$ tar -zxcf /tmp/crt.tar.gz /etc/ssl/certs<br />
$ tar -zxcf /tmp/priv.tar.gz /etc/ssl/private</strong></p>
<p>In the new server, extract the certificates and keys to its respective folder location. Edit<strong> httpd.conf </strong>file and add the following lines<br />
<strong><br />
SSLEngine on<br />
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/example.com.crt<br />
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/example.com.key<br />
SSLCACertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/example.com.cabundle<br />
CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/exampleuser-ssl_log combined</strong></p>
<p>Sample virtual host configuration setting</p>
<pre>
&lt;VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443&gt;
    ServerName subdomain.example.com
    ServerAlias www.subdomain.example.com
    DocumentRoot /home/emaple/public_html
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/example/public_html/cgi-bin/
    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/example.com.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/example.com.key
   SSLCACertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/example.com.cabundle
  CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/exampleuser-ssl_log combined
    SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
    &lt;Directory "/home/example.com/public_html/cgi-bin"&gt;
        SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
    &lt;/Directory&gt;

    # To customize this VirtualHost use an include file at the following location
    # Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/ssl/2/exampleuser/example.com/*.conf"
&lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
</pre>
<p>Restart apache<br />
<strong>$ /etc/init.d/httpd restart</strong><br />
(or)<br />
<strong>$ /sbin/service httpd restart</strong></p>
<p>Note: Once moving the SSL certificates to the new server, you can also use WHM or CPanel to configure the certs.</p>
