I'm admin for a very small non-profit. I built them a server years ago, but as I'm upgrading to Server 2012 Essentials, I'm also going to move the drives to a PCIe Raid card. Looking through Newegg offerings, for the lower end cards (SATA II, 2 internal ports)...the highest OS level advertised...

Long story short, I built a "server" for a non-profit years ago using a Gigabyte GA-MA69G-S3H. I wanted just a tad more redundancy than normal builds, so I spent a bit more and setup a Raid 1 with the onboard SB600 controller with two Seagate ST380815AS drives. One of the drives died and now...

I built my machine back in '05. It was a nice system back then and I built it so I could upgrade it later in pieces. Shortly after I got my job, I had no time for games...so all I ever upgraded was the processor (3200+ single core to 3800+ dual core) and memory from 2GB to 3GB. Recently I...

Guys & Gal, I need a bit of help trying to find a Joomla extension that will help me keep track of membership dues for a non-profit. Site is http://www.griefsupportnetwork.org. I'll be using paypal as my gateway. That is already setup. I've looked at several, but it seems that most are...

I thought I needed to dual boot XP and 2008R2 since my scanner is no longer supported...but I'm not going to go out and buy one. It turns out, 2k8r2 sees the scanner and an XP virtual machine can use the scanner, so I don't really need the dual boot. I tried playing with 2k8r2's disk...

Is this important? Not really, but I've got an old laptop that I aquired real cheap that has a P3 Celeron 633 that is FCPGA. I've been looking around and a guy local to me has a P3 Coppermine FCPGA2. As best I can figure, it uses .05 more volts (1.75 vs the 1.7 the celeron uses) and a...

I'm parting out an old Gateway Solo 9550. The processor is a P3-M sl5ck 1.13GHz processor. The laptop was parted out due to a bad LCD panel and jacked up power socket. Processor worked very nicely. I was going to use it in a handme down socket 370 laptop, but this processor is a...

I'm working on a personal project to block all countries except the US and England. I've seen warnings a few times stating that it isn't a good idea to block entire countries to reduce spam...but they never say why it is a bad idea. In my case, I run a personal mail server and only interact...

I need some help. I'm new to IPTABLES and I need some help blocking spammers. I use a WRT54G running DD-WRT which let's me log in to the router via command line. Basically, I want to block all IPs except for those in United States and England. I understand that IPTABLES have an order, but...

I run a server for a local non-profit. The machine is hosted at a colocation facility that evidently hosts some sites that have a reputation for sending some spam. I've setup the server for email and am trying to use the list serve software to ease sending meeting reminders by the president...

I've got a box built on XP that I'm using to host a charity's web server that is colo'd with a great company. I've got some software based firewall stuff on there, but I'd really like to find a hardware based firewall that I can install that will keep attacks away. I don't really need a...

So here's my problem. I'm working on a database driven section of a webpage that resides on a co-located server. To do minor edits to the data, I plan on writing some simple php. To get away from authentication to keep unwanted people out, I'm going to host the edit files on my web server...

i'm looking to repurpose an old laptop only for the use of connecting to devices via serial console. I was thinking of just formatting a disk to a dos prompt and running a program via command line since that is all I will need out of it...but what software could I use in a dos environment...

Neighbor is getting cable internet and he wants me to find him a cable modem so he doesn't have to pay the rental fee for the one they will provide. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, he doesn't have anything now...so something will amaze him. hit me up with what you guys have. I'll want...

I've just built this HTPC running WinXP MCE 2005. ECS 690G motherboard ATI Radeon HD 2600XT Hauppage PVR-150 MCE 2Gig mem PowerDVD 6...but I don't think this would have any bearing on video file playback. My case has plenty of ventilation. CPU runs around 48c, GPU runs about 49c...

I'm looking to rebuild my HTPC that will also double as my home based mini web server that runs on VMware. I've decided to go AM2 with a X2 4000+ Brisbane due to power consumption and cost. I'm looking at some 690G chipsets and they look great...but I can't find anything with a regular...

I've got several power strips that are networked up that have temperature probes to monitor rack inlet temperatures. Anyone know of a program that will periodically request SNMP data and then log it to either an access database file or an excel file? thanks in advance

I need a little help here with SNMP. I'm just starting out and this is really looking challenging. I have a 10k sq ft data center where I'm slowly starting to get my power strips ("Switched" ServerTech models) networked so that I can view power load and whatnot via browser. I have a...

I've built my first SATA RAID setup and things are running smoothly. I'm using Seagate's 7200.10 80GB drives. I jump into the raid configuration utility and notice that the disks are operating at 1.5GB/s and NCQ is disabled. While i've never built a raid array before, I know I need to get...

Below is the meat of the code of what I'm trying to accomplish. What I'm doing is editing data base content from a form. The form passes all data as POST, I retrieve the old information and compare the two. If the data was changed, then I will (eventually) build a string that I will use to...

I'm looking to setup a Vibe Streamer application. Vibe uses an xml file to store users and groups. I've looked around and have found out how to use PHP and SimpleXML to read the file, however, what I'd like to do is write my own application where I can edit or add a user into this xml...

For the 2nd time since July, my house has had an attempted break-in as well as mail theft. When I moved in, everyone had said it was a pretty safe area. So after the first one, we had an ADT system put in...after this last one, we've beefed up the sensors. While having sensors is all fine...

I'm running apache 2.2.4 w/ php 5.2 My end result is to log the IPs of visitors into either a flat file or a mysql database. Only problem is that I'm behind a router. So in PHP, the "remote_server" or host or whaterver you are really supposed to use, always ends up with the internal IP of...

Yesterday, I was using it just fine...then it just stopped working. Any button I push would not have any effect. The red light on the MCE receiver would not illuminate when buttons are pushed. The back lighting on the remote doesn't happen when any buttons are pushed (at least I thought it...

Yeah, so it isn't "Networking" or "Security"...but we have no sub-forum on data center/enterprise related questions and this sub forum I think has people in it who know. With that out of the way, here is the setup. I'm new to administering DCs (only been in it for a little over a year) and...

As I'm halfway through planning a wedding, finances has caught up to me and I'm freaking out. I know I'm huge packrat, and I'm not really going to use this stuff. Though I have managed to keep a few key pieces of equipment. I'm not really looking for things to trade, but that doens't mean...

wedding.ccernst.net so I'm starting to piece together my wedding site so that anyone traveling can find hotels, restaurants, etc. the page renders as I'd like it in IE, but for some reason, something odd is happening to the bottom div. I plan to have a menu system for entities on...

I was reading an article on digg about scripting, which got sidetracked with having a mysql counter. So that's got me thinking. With a page that may authenticate the user via a sql query...maybe possible retrieve content via mysql...data verification...with counters. The number of queries...

I have a custom built 1u server that up until now ran a Leadtek NF2 - IGP motherboard. The reason I need a NF2 is because that is what the image was built on, and I run a 2400+ mobile chip for reduced heat output. I don't care if it is mATX or full size...it just needs to be in decent shape...

Little bit of a bind here. I have a server that I run for personal purposes. It runs php, apache, mysql just fine. I'm building a webpage for an organization and they wish to run their own server. I now get to work out with the server admin to get the configurations finalized. Now when...

I run my own web/email/mysql colocated server not on a residential internet provider and have been chugging along for quite a while. Recently it has come to my attention that yahoo filters off my emails to yahoo accounts to the bulk folder. I know gmail does not do this and I'm wondering what...

I've seen this in plenty of people's example code, but can only guestimate it relatest to arrays. I've always thought the best way was $array['Field1'] ... $array['otherfield'] can someone lay out the differences...benifits..etc? I appreciate it

so I'm passing text via a form to php. I'm doing this via forms. what is frustrating me is that when I check to see how the text got passed from the textarea box...there are no line breaks. I'm wanting to try to build a list of items, then store them in a single record in mysql. so in...

Remember back a year and a half ago? When the great pagefile flame war was waging? After several moves and a complete system/OS overhaul, I had thought I deleted said images. I found them in an obscure backup directory and have rehosted them. This is not meant to start another flame...

I started all my php/mysql learning on my own computer using a residential network connection. I'm getting better at writing my applications, but now I'm getting slightly irritated with its response times. here is a small application I did where I databased my books read and can search...

You guys would laugh if you saw it...but I need help taking this thing apart so that I can keep hobbling it along. First for your amusement, here's what it's got going against it (I must note that I bought it off some guy here on the forums...he trashed it and tried to sell it to me for...

I'm just starting out with mysql and PHP. I've bought books to step me through things and I've had c++ up through data structures, so I'm pretty confident in my php coding. I'm running into problems with my MySQL server. I've installed it on my home workstation, which is behind a...
