ISPConfig Monitor App for Android Phones
========================================

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.).

Installing Lighttpd With PHP5 (PHP-FPM) And MySQL Support On Fedora 19
======================================================================

Lighttpd is a secure, fast, standards-compliant web server designed for speed-critical environments. This tutorial shows how you can install Lighttpd on a Fedora 19 server with PHP5 support (through PHP-FPM) and MySQL support. PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) is an alternative PHP FastCGI implementation with some additional features useful for sites of any size, especially busier sites. I use PHP-FPM in this tutorial instead of Lighttpd's spawn-fcgi.

How To Install No-ip2 On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS In Order To Host Servers On A Dynamic IP Address
==========================================================================================

Hosting your own servers at home is great, you can host your own website from home, share family photos, and stream your media to anywhere in the world. However all of this requires that you have a location on the internet which people can find such as http://www.mywebsitedomain.com. This is normally done by purchasing a domain name and pointing it to a static IP address which isn't free. In this how-to I will show you how to achieve the same web address result on a dynamic IP address by installing the free No-IP service into Ubuntu 12.04 LTS which is also the perfect host for your own websites and streaming services.

Fedora 19 Samba Standalone Server With tdbsam Backend
=====================================================

This tutorial explains the installation of a Samba fileserver on Fedora 19 and how to configure it to share files over the SMB protocol as well as how to add users. Samba is configured as a standalone server, not as a domain controller. In the resulting setup, every user has his own home directory accessible via the SMB protocol and all users have a shared directory with read-/write access.

Never Forget To Turn Dansguardian Back On After A Cyberspacejaywalk
===================================================================

Dansguardian is the leading free keyword blocker on Linux systems and it uses this method known as a weighed keyword score. Now, people who use or administer a web content filter know very well that there are situations when a filter accidentally blocks an acceptable site or even an unreviewed site. The simple solution is often to turn off filtering completely. Then it is of paramount importance that when this unrestricted cyberspacewalk ends, the administrator must turn Dansguardian back on!! But what if they forget?
