So I finally found a solution for pretty much all of our encryption needs
for Inexistence services and such.

StartSSL provides a free SSL certificate service I have enabled all the
hosts that require SSL with new certificates so guess what this means?

No more stupid SSL connection errors no self signed nightmare.

Enjoy your encryption.
PS. If you would like SSL enabled for some reason on your site please
let me know and I’ll see what I can do (and if it’s even justified).

So tonight I finally got to roll the Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) update on Inexistence.
There may be some hiccups for the next few days as I fix anything that it broke.

I also started rolling IPv6 support now.
I will start adding AAAA dns records as I continue to test the functionality of each host.
All AAAA records have been set for all hosts now.

So please be patient if you notice anything break, I will more than likely be made aware
of it as it happens and will fix it as soon as I can…

Thanks and enjoy as always!

Updates to follow below (for any hiccups and their fixes):
2011-02-17
Slight hiccup detected with sendmail: local emailing (aka cron jobs) weren’t working as
expected thanks to submit.mc snafu. Fixed now from my preliminary tests aka all
my cron job emails are coming in.

2011-02-19
Did some changes to apache2 to improve performance and security.

So I installed and setup varnish tonight.
Everyone should start to see a speedup on page loads / requests for all sites on inexistence.

As always please let me know if you have any issues with your site(s).

Enjoy!

PS. I fixed the files that shouldn’t be cached like audio / video files so things return to their
proper streaming speeds.

Did some slight upgrading to stuff and some configuration changes.
Zend Optimizer 3.3.9 x64 was installed (used to be 3.3.3 x64)
eAccelerator 0.9.6.1 was installed (used to be 0.9.5.3)
I also changed some php.ini settings:
register_argc_argv = ‘Off’
always_populate_raw_post_data = ‘Off’
magic_quotes_gpc = ‘Off’

If you need any of these on you can add them to your .htaccess or please let me know
and I will either turn it back on or direct you how to live without them.

I also did the apt-get and svn updates…

The other day you may have noticed that you couldn’t view any websites hosted.

It was my fault I did an apt-get upgrade (which included php5 updates)
and the reason it broke is we use eAccelerator. And the issue was I didn’t recompile
and link it to the updated php5 of course I’ve done so since then.

So yeah did an apt-get upgrade
PhpMyAdmin is updated
svn updates were applied

And that is all for tonight…

I’m currently fiddling with IPv6 support for Inexistence.

I’ve enabled it for this blog technically now…
You can reach it via this crazy link.

I’ve yet to setup hostname mapping and the like so it just does a redirect to here…

I added eaccelerator to inexistence this evening.
The old install had this and it helped speed up php quite a bit.

So I enabled it for the new install we are currently running and of course
we still have Zend Optimizer runing as well.

I also took the liberty to upgrade several wordpress plugins for
the installs we have here on inexistence.

Well folks I did a bunch of changes this evening:

All ssl enabled hosts moved to the default port (443) we are
now using a wildcard ssl self signed cert (yes it’s naughty.)
I also deployed a new service tonight “Push” for all Exchange
supported “Smart” devices like Blackberries and iPod/iPhone.

The setup is as follows:
Email account: [email protected]
Server: push.inexistence.org
Domain: (Leave this blank)
Username: your username
Password: your password
SSL: Enabled (I only have it enabled for SSL so if you can’t use it sorry!)

I also upgraded Roundcubemail (svn update) again tonight a bunch of
changes came in. I apologize for all the folks who added exceptions for
the SSL certs to their computers. You may now delete them as we’re using
valid certs now instead of the self signed ones…

Enjoy!
