#A Mini-Howto for apache2-SSL

apt-get install apache2
apache2-ssl-certificate
#(and answer the questions)

#Now, enable ssl:
a2enmod ssl

#configure ssl:
cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/default /etc/apache2/sites-available/ssl
ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/ssl /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ssl
#"/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ssl" should look like this:

NameVirtualHost *:443
<VirtualHost *:443>
(... configure the directories too...)
and "/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default" should look like this:

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
(... configure the directories too...)
In /etc/apache2/ports.conf, add Listen 443

In the middle of /etc/apache2/sites-available/ssl file, insert this two lines:

SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem

RAID1 bootable 2 harddisks:

reinstalled the boot loader so that the system will boot even
if the primary disk (sda) disappears in the future.

Dealing with Bandwith Theft
#56
Posted by ajt on Wed 18 Oct 2006 at 20:43

I run a few web sites. I don't care if people copy any images off them to use on their own site. I don't mind if they use one of my own images to link back to my site. I do care if they just use an image on their site because they are to lazy to copy the image or to save thair bandwidth.

A friend suggested an Apache re-write rule to prevent it happening. After a tweak, I've found it most useful, I just need to wait long enough to take effect.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond     %{REQUEST_FILENAME} \.(gif|jpe?g|png)$       [NC]
RewriteCond     %{HTTP_REFERER}     !^$
RewriteCond     %{HTTP_REFERER}     !(www\.)?domain\.com     [NC]
RewriteCond     %{HTTP_REFERER}     !google\.                [NC]
RewriteCond     %{HTTP_REFERER}     !search\?q=cache         [NC]
RewriteRule     (.*)                -                    [F,NC,L]

UPDATE: Note that domain.com means your domain. 

-------------
EDGY -> firefox2.0
#let xmms play mp3/m3u instead of mplayer-plugin infirefox browser
(who ever came up with that ?!)

1. Type "about:config" on the address bar to get to firefox config settings.
2. Do a filter search for "hide_plugins" and double click on "browser.download.hide_plugins_without_extensions" to change the settings value to "false".
3. Open up "Edit > Preferences", go to the "Content" area and click on "Manage".
4. It should now list all the "File Type". Do a search for audio and change the "MP3 audio (streamed)" to open up in the external xmms player.

Keyboard detection problem after boot (pxe or cd)
use following boot arguments:

noapic irqpoll usb-handoff

The gnome-terminal uses a termcap file for its basic settings. To change these:
vi /usr/share/vte/termcap/xterm

Now look for a line about 1/3 of the way down the file that looks like this:
Code:

	:co#80:it#8:li#24:\

To change the number of columns, change the co# number, in this case 80.
To change the number of rows, change the li# number, in this case 24.
So as an example if you want a terminal window of 132x25:
Code:

	:co#132:it#8:li#25:\
