Earlier I posted how to use a text file created by a script to similarly manage the rogue IPs that Fail2ban bans. The problem with using scripts and crontab is that it is not reporting in real-time. The method here works in real-time because Fail2ban reports directly to the MySQL on the control server. On each remote you’ll want to...
I should officially call this page /about-yacy but (SEO) I know when I wanted to know more about YaCy it was because it kept crashing. So you’ve found yourself here for the same reason this page exists. I hope I can make it easier for a beginner, given that I am probably more ordinary, especially compared to the developers. Since...
One of the real problems is later finding where Apache puts the various files you need to manager Apache (in many different directories in Ubuntu). I can highly recommend Linode installations. Easy, fully functional, optimized, ready to go, LAMP stack. Apache Configuration Files Apache2 is configured by placing directives in plain text configuration files. These directives are in these directories:...

Last week I had a client’s Google Places Page go missing – disappeared entirely. For a client who runs a bed & breakfast, a museum and a tour business, all location-based businesses that depend to some degree on maps (Google Maps) for customers – this was heart-stopping. Google replied: “Thanks for contacting us regarding your Places problem. We’ve recently experienced...
I found a lot of misleading and confusing How-To stuff when installing an SSL certificate on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Apache 2.22. I also share most people confusion when it comes to encryption. Only after a lot of repetition has the fog begun to clear. It helps to realize: The “key” is your PRIVATE file. Don’t ever share it. Its stays...
