With the ISPConfig Monitor App, you can check your server status and find out if all services are running as expected. You can check TCP and UDP ports and ping your servers. In addition to that you can use this app to request details from servers that have ISPConfig installed; these details include everything you know from the Monitor module in the ISPConfig Control Panel (e.g. services, mail and system logs, mail queue, CPU and memory info, disk usage, quota, OS details, RKHunter log, etc.).

Configuring Your LEMP System (Linux, nginx, MySQL, PHP-FPM) For Maximum Performance
===================================================================================

If you are using nginx as your webserver, you are looking for a performance boost and better speed. nginx is fast by default, but you can optimize its performance and the performance of all parts (like PHP and MySQL) that work together with nginx. Here is a small, incomprehensive list of tips and tricks to configure your LEMP system (Linux, nginx, MySQL, PHP-FPM) for maximum performance. These tricks work for me, but your mileage may vary. Do not implement them all at once, but one by one and check what effect the modification has on your system's performance.

Running A Small Business Server With ClearOS 6.3.0 (Community Edition)
======================================================================

This guide shows how you can install and run a Small Business Server with ClearOS 6.3.0 (Community Edition). With ClearOS, you can run various services (such as a file- and print server, a web proxy and content filter, a mail server, etc.) in your local network and manage them through an easy web interface. ClearOS provides apps for each of these tasks from its marketplace - many of them are free, some of them have to be paid for. ClearOS Community is open-source and free. There's also a professional version available for which you have to pay, but which in return provides better support, better tested apps and updates, etc.

pfSense - Squid + Squidguard / Traffic Shapping Tutorial
========================================================

In this tutorial I will show you how to setup pfSense 2.0.1 up as a Internet Gateway with Squid Proxy / Squidguard Filtering. I will also show you have to configure some extra features of pfSense like and traffic shapping with squid. This type of configuration would be useful for people who want to set up wireless hot spots or Internet cafe's etc.

VBoxHeadless - Running Virtual Machines With VirtualBox 4.2 On A Headless OpenSUSE 12.2 Server
==============================================================================================

This guide explains how you can run virtual machines with VirtualBox 4.2 on a headless OpenSUSE 12.2 server. Normally you use the VirtualBox GUI to manage your virtual machines, but a server does not have a desktop environment. Fortunately, VirtualBox comes with a tool called VBoxHeadless that allows you to connect to the virtual machines over a remote desktop connection, so there's no need for the VirtualBox GUI.

Serving CGI Scripts With Nginx On Fedora 17
===========================================

This tutorial shows how you can serve CGI scripts (Perl scripts) with nginx on Fedora 17. While nginx itself does not serve CGI, there are several ways to work around this. I will outline two solutions: the first is to proxy requests for CGI scripts to Thttpd, a small web server that has CGI support, while the second solution uses a CGI wrapper to serve CGI scripts.

Installation Of Redmine With SVN On A cPanel/CentOS 5.6 Server
==============================================================

This tutorial explains how to install Redmine with SVN on a cPanel/CentOS 5.6 server. Redmine is a flexible project management web application. Written using the Ruby on Rails framework, it is cross-platform and cross-database.
