Let’s say you just installed windows, but told it to use FAT instead of NTFS. Now you have problems because this program won’t work without permissions on the drive. Whoops! Also the Security feature will not work with FAT or FAT32, you will need NTFS for that. There is an easy way to do this: 1convert c: /fs:ntfs Replace c: with your drive name if different. It will warn you about doing this to a mounted drive, tell it N to skip doing this now. Then it will ask you if you want to do this on the next reboot. Say Y. When you reboot, it will convert the drive to NTFS.

I you are trying to compile software on a new system, and you get this error: 123checking how to run the C++ preprocessor… /lib/cpp configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check See `config.log’ for more details. Then you need to install the gcc-c++ compiler: 123# yum install gcc-c++ or # sudo apt-get install gcc-c++ Installing gpp or gcc themselves is not enough.

Apache’s mod_proxy module is simply one of the best Apache modules out there. With it, you can do all sorts of things that you usually would not be able to do if you are behind a firewall or other limited network situations. A problem that recently came up for me was how Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) needs to run on an exchange server, however my linux server is the one that faces the internet (I have the firewall forward the ports to this server). I also purchased an SSL certificate for one domain, so I wanted to use this certificate to access OWA with a proper validating certificate. All sounds well and good. Using this mod_proxy configuration should work: 12345678910111213141516171819ProxyPreserveHost On #OWA % character in email subject fix RewriteEngine On RewriteMap percentsubject int:escape RewriteCond $1 ^/exchange/.*\%.*$ RewriteRule (/exchange/.*) ${percentsubject:$1} [P] #OWA ProxyPass /exchange https://exchangserver.example.com/exchange ProxyPassReverse /exchange https://exchangeserver.example.com/exchange ProxyPass /Exchange….

More and more people seem to be using an open source mail server on linux, such as Postfix, to proxy e-mails coming in from the net and relaying them to their exchange server. I know I’ve had this type of setup since January and it has been working really well for me. It gives you the ability to do advanced spam and antivirus filtering on messages, while keeping the easy to use GUI interface for creating exchange mailboxes. When will we get a great e-mail client so we can finally ditch the Exchange/Outlook setup that most businesses rely on? I know I haven’t found a solution that comes close (I’m sorry, Evolution for Win32 needs to come a bit further, and Thunderbird isn’t even close). Anyway, once you have this system set up (there are some great instructions here, maybe I will cover this more another day), you may wish….
