Clam Antivirus and Clam Sentinel

Posted at 5:47:55 PM in Installations (41)

I'm a recent convert to Clam AV. Mostly because it has a small resource usage foot print and the design focuses on virus checking. I used AVG before, but in 2011's version, the software hogged up so much memory and resources that programs were really running slow. Then on the upgrade to 2012, I ran into a lot of problems with programs and network devices hanging up. Outlook wouldn't retrieve email. The PC that had the AVG network admin software installed on it started losing it's network connection...

gotomypc file sync issues

Posted at 5:32:54 PM in Software (12)

I have a user that uses the file synchronization in Gotomypc all the time. Recently, the program started transferring files that they didn't change. A repeated synchronize command transferred exactly the same amount of files. I thought there might be some file caching database that was corrupt and tried to reinstall Gotomypc for that user, but it didn't help. I finally called support and found that there is a bug that they are working on. The problem shows itself when the user tries to synchronize...

Acronis server image on Dell T310

Posted at 1:48:29 PM in Installations (41)

I just recently bought 2 T310 servers from Dell. Nice servers with fast SATA drives.

Wordpress with PostreSQL

Posted at 12:36:14 PM in Installations (41)

I noticed a few things after my installation of Wordpress with PostgreSQL as the data backend. I used pg4wp, found on this site. I downloaded the latest version 1.2.2 but got errors during the installation, but Wordpress indicated it had installed successfully, so I didn't worry about it too much. Then as I was trying to add categories, the new categories wouldn't show up. I had enabled PG4WP_DEBUG and reviewed the log files.The first problem was a duplicate key which violated the unique constraint...

Setting up Wordpress on Ubuntu

Posted at 4:01:02 PM in Installations (41)

Extremely frustrating.Wordpress boasts an easy install. However, I find that after a week of work, I still don't have a fully functioning Wordpress site.My installation started from scratch. I'm mostly an IIS asp classic type designer and... I'm mostly backend. My artistic flair leaves a lot to be desired. The desire to get Wordpress installed came from a client who was trying to compete with Godaddy's offering. He designs web sites, but they are still bland in comparison to todays flashy colorful...
