After install - RHEL 5, Apache 2.2.3, PHP 5.1.6, MySQL 5.0.2 The problem we are facing is the site performing badly when accessed from certain locations - from our corporate LAN, which is behind Squid. Certain colleagues in other companies (we suspect behind they are also behind Squid or some proxy) also … [View More]

This slashdot post http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/10/30/2113200 [OpenDocument Foundation To Drop ODF] is about a nobody-organization called the OpenDocument Foundation, having nothing to do with OASIS, proponents of the ODF.

>Migrated the websites to RHEL 5. I simply took a backup, installed RHEL 5 and >restored the apps. Bar some config changes in httpd.conf (from apache >2.0 to 2.2), no other modification were done.

The winners will get exclusive coverage in LINUX For You magazine, and openITis.com (aka linuxforu.com). Which in turn could mean:… [View More]
