Where can I find instructions on how to install the certificate? Do I have to run another domain or sub domain for the store? Or can I just run the whole domain on https? FYI, if you get a normal certificate, you can only secure one fqdn. If you need to secure more, you need a wildcard certificate. It is still going to be cheaper to buy a couple of normal certs for each one of your fqdn's than buying a wildcard cert (in most cases). I think godaddy.com are cheap for SSL certs. Most places you buy certs from will have instructions on how to install and and configure Apache for SSL certs, I know godaddy does http://help.godaddy.com/topic/742/article/5238 and has more instructions when you run through the cert wizard. Make sure you have mod_ssl installed and setup your vhost entry for 443 google will help you with this if you don't know how.

Yes, using ZA is a bad idea. XP has its own firewall which is enabled by default if you are patched up-to-date. Keep that on. Huh? I've *NEVER* heard great things about WinDoze firewall, and the std. from the fairly heavy duty folks I know who support WinDoze is that the std for non-commercial is ZoneAlarm. Personaly, I use ZoneAlarm 'mainly' for the outbound blocking. I like to know (and allow/disalow) when an application tries to phone home... JD Personally, I have had Zone Alarm mess up it's ACL a few times and block applications in it's allow list. I normally firewall else where use Windows Firewall for internal stuff, the Windows Firewall in Windows7 supports an ACL for inbound and outbound rules.

I'm wondering here if is it possible to setup a CentOS machine as a router for two Internet connections in a LAN. This _router_ would work as the gateway for the workstations using DHCPD. The purpose of this is to optimize the broadband joining both connections, and given the case, do not lose the Internet access. You’d be better off with dedicated firewall-distro like, Smoothwall et al. Html should be off in mails. -- /Sorin ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos Another Vote for Pfse3nse, the best router7firewall distro around, well just my opinion. Cheers, PFSense or IPCop, IPCop is a little easier to configure IMO. http://www.netzensolutions.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] CentOS 5 - VNC Server - Gnome Font Problem - Pango Warning
Hi Guys, I am getting a strange font problem (see http://lh6.ggpht.com/_NirUcVREM8k/SwPNpSUJ2AI/Ago/3eZiO8j2pEg/s640/font-issue.png) for a user logging in over VNC Server, I am also logged in over VNC however I am no experiencing any problems... This was the case on CentOS 5.3 and on 5.4 (after upgrade). I have tried removing the .vnc dir in the users home dir and re running vncserver so that it recreates it, however the problem persists... I found this in the VNC logs: (nautilus:14718): Pango-WARNING **: No builtin or dynamically loaded modules were found. Pango will not work correctly. This probably means there was an error in the creation of: '/etc/pango/pango.modules' You should create this file by running pango-querymodules. Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file (nautilus:14718): Pango-WARNING **: pango_shape called with bad font, expect ugly output (nautilus:14718): Pango-WARNING **: pango_font_get_glyph_extents called with bad font, expect ugly output (nautilus:14718): Pango-WARNING **: _pango_cairo_font_install called with bad font, expect ugly output Introspect error: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 0 could not attach to desktop process So naturally I attempted what it suggested, again the problem still persists. Has anyone seen this before, or have any suggestions? Thanks in advance! KJS ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
