Server :: Recommendations For CMS Software
Nov 16, 2010
I have agreed to set up a server to run an existing website from a hosted solution. This is no problem I have setup Centos 5.5 64 bit, all running OK. The existing site is single directory HTML with a very small amount of Java script.The user has no technical knowledge and would like to be able to go in and modify their site, sadly vim is not an option
Has anyone got any suggestion of single or multi site CMS solutions that are easy to set up and use. I would also need to import the existing site. I do not have weeks to spend learning a new product at the moment though I would love to do so.

I just installed 5.4 on a home machine and I would like to get a UPS that will auto shutdown the server if the power goes out. Here an inexpensive tripplite from Costco. [URL] I only need it to shut down the 1 centos 5.4 machine if the power fails. Tripplite has linux software now that will shutdown machines. [URL]

I'm looking for an application that can run remotely to periodically check a webserver to ensure that it's delivering pages. I can't use one of the free web-based services because the servers I'm monitoring are closed to the outside internet. I have internal client machines I'd like to install the monitoring tool onto that can check specific URLs in both HTTP and HTTPS. Then email a notification when something stops responding. It would be nice to have a tool that is platform agnostic (written in perl, python, etc.) so I could have flexibility in what type of client machine I use for the monitoring.

I'm setting up an email server for a small office and need a few specific features. I was hoping that someone might give me a few recommendations to meet the following criteria:
IMAP support anti-spam some sort of webmail client - doesn't have to be fancy, but it needs a search function graphical administration panel The last one is so that other people in the office, who aren't necessarily familiar with linux, can do some basic administration. Adding mail boxes, etc.
I've seen the guide for Postfix/Dovecot. That's great but doesn't cover everything that I need. I've also seen Zimbra, which... Well I don't know, that may work, but the open source version has some features removed and that makes me leery. Have people had good experiences with open-source Zimbra? Is it sufficiently feature-complete?
Edit: Well, looks like I just needed to do a little more searching. This seems to cover most everything:[URL]... I'd still like to hear what people have to say about Zimbra though.

I presently have an Ubuntu server 64-bit running VMware Server 2.0 in a test lab. The server was created using the default partitioning method during the installation. So I have what I think is just one huge 300GB partition along with what I hear is a uselessly large swap partition.
I keep reading that theres an advantage to creating dedicated partitions, especially for the the VM datastore.
If the advantages are true then I would like to re-partition the drive.
What partitions should I define and how big should the be?

I have found it difficult to research a wireless print server which will be supported on Linux. I use Debian 6 and Ubuntu 10.04 (also Windows 7 64 bit, Vista, and MACOS Snow Leopard). Everyone in my household using uses a different OS, so it is all the more difficult to ensure interoperability across so many OSs. Where can I find a definitive, authoritative and complete list of supported print servers? Also, I want to keep things simple as possible. This is an important criterion for my choice of wireless print server.
GUI mediated setup/install is much preferred over complex configuration files and command line. I know of CUPs, but I don't know if CUPs will regulate the wireless print server and what's involved. The print server is to enable sharing of Brother HL-4050CDN printer. I'm seriously considering F5L049au (see Belkin : Home Base). But the customer support people tell me it does not support Linux. But this is true of the majority of the print server market. Must support N network standard, the printer above, be wireless, and be Linux compatible.

I'm building my first server to use as a Counter Strike: Source game server that I'm hoping will host 24-48 players. I plan on using Ubuntu Server 10.04 64bit. I also plan on using it as my own personal file server. I'm looking at building it with the Intel Xeon E3110 3.0GHz, 1333MHz, Wolfdale, dual-core processor (LGA 775) as it's cheap and from what I've read, should fit my needs.
Initially I want to build the server with a single SSD drive just to get the system up and running and then later I wanna add another SSD to mirror the original with RAID 1. Then I want to add 4 large capacity SATA drives in a RAID 10 for storage (after I've gotten everything else set up).
Can anyone recommend a motherboard that will fit this setup? I'd really like a motherboard that has built in VGA graphics so I don't have to buy a graphics card just for the install (as I plan on using SSH after I get it up and running). I don't plan on using ECC memory as I need the memory to be fast (for the game server). Because this is my first build, I'm very new to installing/setting up RAID. Do any motherboards exist that have a built-in hardware RAID that will work with Ubuntu and let me do raid 1 and raid 10? Or will I have to get a SATA RAID card? Will hardware based RAID allow me to build a raid 1 array with a SSD drive that's already in use (my system drive) without having to reformat/re-partition?

I'm building a new file/media server for my household to use, and would like to hear the experiences of others, and suggestions, or links to appropriate howto's. I'll be using two (2) 250 GB Western Digital RE4 drives mirrored via mdadm RAID 1 for the Operating System. The storage area will be handled by four (4) 500 GB Western Digital RE4 drives in a RAID 5 array, managed by an Areca 1210 controller.
What I'd like to configure is a basic Samba file server, on which we have individual user folders, and a shared drive. As well, I'd like to add the ability to manage our movie collection so it can be accessed by the Boxee Box attached to the television. Twonky looks promising (and I don't mind paying the $19.95 for something that works well). However, as this is new to me, there may be other solutions out there that are better, and easier to administer. Moving forward, I'd like to explore the feasibility of configuring LDAP on this machine to authenticate users on the network (perhaps even integrate the mail server somehow), and the remote users (only two) who VPN into the network using the pfSense firewall appliance. There are no Windows servers, so Active Directory is not a factor.

We have 6 Dell r610 running CentOS 5.4 with stock kernels, with a couple of Broadcom NetExtreme II 5706c 1GB NICs in them. The NICs are flaking under load, and we'd like to try some alternative NICs (in additional to playing around with driver and firmware upgrades to see if the Netextreme II's can be made stable). Assuming we do not want to do bonding or TOE and just want basic solid transport, can anyone recommend a server NIC that is rock solid with CentOS 5.4? The goal is stable as source-able, we just want to get some baseline functionality up and running while we fight the broadcom issues.

I've been using an old Logitech Quickcam Express with the qc-usb drivers for years. It functions fairly well on older kernels with the patches that became available. Works on a Slackware 11 box with a 2.6.15.1 kernel, but I can't get the driver to compile on newer kernels, and I don't want to spend days trying to find patches that may or may not work.
I'd like to get a cam that I can use without too much difficulty on a Slackware64 13.1 box with a >2.6.36 kernel.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good DJ program for OpenSuSE 11.2? A couple of friends have asked me to DJ their wedding receptions so it doesn't have to be a really huge professional program.

He's on dial-up so getting updates and installing packages such as restricted extras would be painful. I'm thinking Mint but have little personal experience with distros beyond Ubuntu.

having no luck with 9.10 i am wondering what linux is recommended that actually works? ie no internet problems with videos etc. ie recognising cd and dvd and playing them back. ie a cd/dvd drawer that opens and waits until it's told to close instead of chomping discs. ie no colour issues. ie better than 800+600 resolution without having to stick a new graphics card in place of the stock card? etc etc, ie something that works and means i don't have to buy a new apple os. this is the machine i have running, apple power macintosh g4 450 dp (gigabit) [url]

I looked at a product called SynaMan from Synametrics Technologies and it really looked like it would do what I wanted but I could never get it to work with Ubuntu.Does anyone have any suggestions. This is for corporate use.Average users just don't get FTP

I have a site that is currently on an unreliable server. Yes, we're fixing that; suffice to say the situation isn't permanent. I would like to know how to set up a fail check on the site. There are plenty of services out there, but I've got a server that I can add scripts to in the crontab. What elements would you recommend I have in the script?

I am way new to Linux and am getting thrown into the deep end. My company is rolling out a Linux environment to support an application we are using. We are using RHEL for the OS. Does anyone have any recommendations for partition sizes?From what I can tell that appears to be the default values if you do a 'wife install' (yes, yes, yes, yes, yes) on RHEL.

I'm probably being a little lazy asking for recommendations here; the LQ HCL and other online resources, while quite good, seem to have TOO many devices listed. I'm looking for systems people have working and are happy with, doing some of the things I wish to do.
I'd like to keep it under a kibidollar (Ki$). I'm planning on doing some development, so while I'll have a couple of Windows versions partitions, and possibly a BSD partition, my main distro of comfort is Kubuntu. Most importantly though, I'd like a Ubuntustudio partition for multimedia creation including audio and video recording/editing/processing.
So I'm looking at recommendations for a 64-bit quad processor (it seems to me the general consensus around Linuxland is something AMD), appropriate motherboard, good soundcard (I've experience with the M-Audio 2496), TV/video capture card, decent graphics card, and, er, what else?

I am searching for recommendations for some applications I am currently using and would like to know what the members of this community are thinking:
1-Gwenview: prior to version that came with KDE4.5.1, Gwenview used to be very fast and easy on the system resources. I am not quite sure if it is because I am using XFCE or just because Gwenview got bloated like KDE, but it is very frustrating to have to restart Gwenview after 10 minutes of work or so because it became too slow to respond and constantly lag behind... After a few file operations, it gets so slow that copying a picture of 1MB solewhere else on my HDD takes more than 5 sec. It just becomes sluggish. Anybody know an alternative to Gwenview that would have the same look and feel and the same basic features ?
2-Okular: Really dont know what happened and I tried to reinstall it several times, but it simply no longer runs.. If I launch Okular it will open, but if I open a PDF file by double clicking on it, it will launch Okular and it will immediately crash. In konsole I see:
Code:
okular: relocation error: /usr/lib/kde4/okularGenerator_poppler.so: symbol gzopen64, version ZLIB_1.2.3.3 not defined in file libz.so.1 with link time reference
I really tried to google this and to reinstall the poppler libraries, no success. For now I am stuck with XPDF and feel I am back in 1974 with pre-commodore technology.
3-Not a big deal, but I am using Thunar as my file browser and really miss Dolphin's features such as shortcuts (places) and general look and feel. I do however prefer thunar's speed. Anybody knows of a good file browser and if not, how to add shortcuts to thunar like in Dolphin?

I am looking for advice and recommendations for USB Bluetooth Adapters. My primary use will be using a Wii controller/remote with XBMC (compiled with 'cwiid' support).Secondary use is general data transfer; other peripherals keyboard/mouse etc.But more than anything I would like to buy a product from a manufacturer who has open support for GNU/Linux and to stay away from others who don't (BlueSoleil software, WinBond - and others).

I'm looking for a rock solid stable USB wireless driver supported in CentOS 5.2 or even 5.3 (when it's released). I'd like specific manufacturer and model recommendations if possible. I want to stay away from zd1211rw and ndiswrapper.
I've tried a zd1211rw based SMC device with miserable results. I backported the USB IDs from 2.6.25 to get it working, as well as tried the RHEL 5.3 backported module. With both, zd1211rw intermittently creates a soft lockup situation where all ptys and ttys freeze. Pings, and other non-{p,t}ty services still work okay, but I have to halt via the power switch then reboot to get things back to normal.

I just spent an hour surfing the net to find a decent quality linux-compatible USB sound card, coming away more confused than ever. Several candidates sounded promising from reviews, but are not long available. Very high-end products are out of my price range. Linux compatibility seems to be iffy.
My main use is sound encountered on the web. I have pretty good quality klipsch speakers. In short, looking for nice clean sound.

I'm tired of burning coasters in both Linux and Windblows. The builtin DVD burner in this Dell Studio 1745 laptop (HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GA11N) won't even burn properly in windblows What external (USB) burners are forum members using?
I've looked at many on the web and eliminated most due to bad specs and reviews but did find three promising ones.
1: Digistore DIG-71042
2: Iomega 34427
3: Lenovo 41N5565
Any comments on those either good or bad? Or suggestions of what you use and how it works in linux?

I have much given up on my VX 3000 because not only the microphone doesn't work but also Skype crashes when I actually want to use it. The video only works in the settings/test video view but not for a video call.So: can anybody recommend a webcam with a microphone that works reliably on Suse 11.X and with Skype? I'm currently using Suse 11.2 but might upgrade to Suse 11.3, so it would be nice if the webcam would still work in 11.3...

I am so fed up with my Sony HDR that is already obsolete. As I am a linux geek, I have been thinking on building my own media central. Reading various hardware support list gives some information about if a card works or not, but not if its good. Also, I would like to buy a card from a vendor that actively supports linux. Can someone recommend a really good DVB-T card?
I would need: DVB-T support.Radio as an option.Two or more channels, three seems like the maximum that I would ever need, but who knows. Doesn't matter if its one or two cards, as long as it works. CAM support. Additional card or built in. I have no idea of how this works actually, but I think the CA module must support mpeg4 too? HDTV/Mpeg4 support (Software is fine, I guess.) I would also need a good remote control (bluetooth) that not neccesarily needs to come with the card, and a decent fanless graphics card that handles hdtv on linux...
