How to Upload a Dreamweaver Website Into Go Daddy HostingIn Feburary 2016 29,
In Feburary 2016 29,
Find the Host Name, FTP User Name and FTP Password you created when you opened your Go Daddy hosting account. You would have written this information down when you opened your account.
Open Dreamweaver. Go to 'Site' and then 'Manage Sites.'
Pick your website from the list given in the Manage Sites dialog box or click 'New' if you haven't started your website yet.
Choose 'Add New Server' when the setup window opens. Enter a name for your connection, something like 'Go Daddy' or your domain name would be easy to identify, but any name is OK.
Click 'FTP' from the connection menu and enter the FTP User Name and FTP Password you created with Go Daddy. Check the 'Save' box if you want Dreamweaver to remember your login information.
Type your domain name in the FTP box. Click the 'Test' button to confirm the connection. Leave any other fields blank or default unless you've set up special port or proxy settings in your home network or with Go Daddy.
Check 'Automatically upload files to server on save' if you want Dreamweaver to update your website every time you save a page.
Save the connection by clicking 'Save' and go to 'Edit,' then 'Preferences' in Windows. If you're using a Mac, click 'Dreamweaver' and then 'Preferences.'
Select your website from the list on the left and choose your upload settings. Establish whether the FTP connection will time out or terminate after a specified number of minutes. You can also set Dreamweaver to 'Prompt Before Moving Files on Server' and 'Save Files Before Putting.' Experiment until you find the settings that work for you.

Microsoft Exchange Server TutorialIn Feburary 2016 28,
In Feburary 2016 28,
Microsoft Exchange Server is part of the Microsoft Windows Server line, and is intended to deliver a platform for messaging and collaboration. The primary features of Exchange Server include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks. Exchange Server also provides a platform for mobile and web-based users who need to be able to access their data remotely, as well as support for data storage.
Enhanced Features
Microsoft Exchange Server was first launched in 1996; more recent versions, such as Exchange Server 2007 and recently released Exchange Server 2010, include many enhancements from its original version. Some of these are:
Security: Exchange Server now includes anti-spam and anti-virus filtering, as well as encryption technology. This protects users' data from outside intrusion and corruption.
Data Protection: Exchange Servers can be used in a cluster environment, which replicates the data across several servers and guarantees its availability. In this way, there can be no single point of failure; if one server goes down, the other servers will pick up the slack and continue to provide data to users.
Unified Messaging: Exchange Server allows users to receive voice mail, email, and faxes in their mailboxes. In addition, remote users can access their mailboxes from cell phones and other wireless devices.
Improved IT Experience: Exchange Servers are completely scalable, and include 64-bit performance. There is a simplified graphical user interface (GUI) to make administration easy, and an improved deployment and routing process.
Exchange Server Roles
As a network administrator, you can choose which server roles to install on an Exchange server. Server roles are used to logically group specific features of Exchange together, which helps to simplify installation, and gives you the ability to fully customize your Exchange Server to meet your company's specific needs.The types of server roles include:
Mailbox Server: This server runs on the back end, and hosts mailboxes and public folders.
Unified Messaging Server: This is the middle-tier server that connects a Private Branch Exchange system (PBX, commonly referred to as a phone system) to Exchange 2007.
Client Access Server: This is the middle-tier server that hosts all client protocols, such as Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS), Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3), Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4), and Outlook Anywhere. The Client Access Server can also host Web services.
Hub Transport Server: This server is responsible for routing all mail within the Exchange organization.
Edge Transport Server: This server typically sits on the perimeter of the network topology, and is responsible for routing mail into and out of the Exchange organization.
For the End User
Clients that are using Exchange Server to access their data will typically use Microsoft Outlook, part of the Microsoft Office suite. However, there are alternatives. If a client wishes to connect to their email through a website, they can use Outlook Web Access (OWA). And for Mac users, both Microsoft Entourage and Apple Mail can be used to connect to an Exchange Server.

PHP Mkdir Permission Does Not WorkIn Feburary 2016 25,
In Feburary 2016 25,
The list of permissions you supply to the 'mkdir' function are valid only on Linux-based file systems. This means you cannot associate permissions with a directory you create under Windows. If you pass permissions with the 'mkdir' function under Windows, PHP simply ignores them.
Default User Account
Remember that a script run on a Web server from a browser runs under the default user account on the Web server such as 'www-data,' not under your user account. If directory permissions are not working, it may be because you are testing a script under your account instead of the default user account. You can test the script as the default user by typing 'su www-data' and exploring the directory permissions assigned to that user.
Directory Mask
If the resulting permissions of a new directory are different from what you passed, it may be because of a directory mask applied to the permissions. The mask is maintained by the Web server, not by PHP. To circumvent the mask, use the 'umask' function to set the mask to zero, create the directory using 'mkdir' and change the directory permissions using the 'chmod' function. For example:
$save = umask(0);
if (mkdir($newdir)) chmod($newdir, 0755);
umask($save);
?>
Recursive Assignment
The 'mkdir' function takes a second optional argument that creates nested directories recursively. When you assign directory permissions recursively, the permissions may not be executed in the proper order and you might get different results from what you expected. To ensure the proper order, use the 'chmod' function to assign directory permissions to the new directory after you create it with the 'mkdir' function. For example:
if (mkdir($newdir, 0755, true)) chmod($newdir, 0755);
?>

How to Save Configuration Cisco 3750 SwitchesIn Feburary 2016 20,
In Feburary 2016 20,
Save the configuration by entering the command 'copy running-config startup-config'. This copies the configuration that the switch is currently using to run to NVRAM, or non-volatile RAM. NVRAM does not clear when the switch loses power like standard RAM does so the configuration will be used when the switch is powered up again.
Use a TFTP server to save the configuration on. A TFTP server can just be a workstation that is connected to the switch in some way. Use the command 'archive upload-sw tftp:[[//location]/directory]/image-name.tar' to save the image on the TFTP server. If you need to copy the image from the TFTP server to the switch, you would use the command 'archive download-sw /overwrite /reload tftp:[[//location]/directory]/image-name.tar'.
Save the image on an FTP server. Using an FTP server is similar to using a TFTP server. To save the image from the switch to the FTP server, use the command 'archive upload-sw ftp:[[//[username[:password]@]location]/directory]/image-name.tar'. To retrieve the image from the FTP server and download it to the switch, use the command 'archive download-sw /overwrite /reload ftp:[[//username[:password]@location]/directory]/image-name.tar'.
Saving the image to an RCP server is another way to make a backup of the switch configuration. To save the image to an RCP server you would use the command 'archive upload-sw rcp:[[[//[username@]location]/directory]/image-name.tar]'. To retrieve the setup from an RCP server, you would use the command 'archive download-sw /overwrite /reload rcp:[[[//[username@]location]/directory]/image-name.tar]'.
The method used to save the switch configuration can vary greatly. But all of these methods will allow the switch configuration to be saved so the switch can be easily reconfigured in the case of a problem that wipes out the switch configuration.

How to Set Up a CentOS Email ServerIn Feburary 2016 19,
In Feburary 2016 19,
Open a terminal by clicking 'Applications,' 'Accessories,' and 'Terminal.'
Type 'sudo yum install postfix.i386.' Give the root password if asked and answer 'yes' to any questions. PostFix is used to send and receive email from the Internet. Type 'sudo yum install dovecot.' Again, give the root password and answer yes to any questions you are asked by the installer. Dovecot will provide users with IMAP or POP3 access to their email accounts.
Edit the configuration file for Postfix. Type 'sudo nano /etc/postfix/main.cf' to open the configuration file in the Nano text editor. The defaults will work well for most systems, but a more sophisticated mail server will require you to specify some of the options in the configuration file. The most important setting is 'home_mailbox.' This will be each user's mailbox directory in their homepage. If you wish to use the Maildir format, the directory should end with a trailing forward slash, like this:home_mailbox = mail/Another option is the mbox format, and to use this format, simply leave off the trailing forward slash: home_mailbox = mailBoth formats are powerful, however there are subtle and complex differences between them. Whichever you choose to use, remember that choice. Find the 'myhostname' and 'mydomain' settings and give them the domain name you have associated with your computer. For example, if you own the domain name 'happy.com,' the options should read:myhostname=mail.happy.com
mydomain=happy.comYou can exit nano by hitting Ctrl-O (to save) and Ctrl-X (to exit.)
Edit the configuration file for Dovecot. Type 'sudo nano /etc/dovecot.conf.' The most important option is protocols. Ensure that this includes the protocol you wish your email users to use. The most popular options are 'imap' and 'pop3,' and you can enable secure connections by appending an 's' to each option.
Set the mail location to the same directory you chose in Step 3. Precede it with the format you choose in step 3. For example:mail_location = maildir:~/mailormail_location = mbox:~/mailFinally, if you use a 64-bit version of CentOS, change the 'login_process_size' to '64.'
Create a user mailbox. Type the following:mkdir /home/bill/mail
chown bill:bill /home/bill/mail
chmod -R 700 /home/john/mailThis creates the mail directory, ensures that the user owns his mail directory, and allows him to access it. This must be repeated for each user who has an email account. In this example, 'bill' has the email account 'bill@happy.com.'
