If you are running multiple websites with Apache2 with mixed ports (usually http port 80, https port 443) change following configuration files. Variable NameVirtualHost should be only in file virtual.conf, find and comment it in other configuration files!
FOB: I recently reported being stuck trying to set up multiple SSL name-based virtual hosts on the same IP address with non-SSL name-based virtual hosts. Soon after, I figured it out. Shortly after that, one of my students suggested the same solution to me.
/etc/apache2/conf.d/virtual.conf
#
# We're running multiple virtual hosts.
#
NameVirtualHost *:80
NameVirtualHost *:443/etc/apache2/sites-enabled
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@zviretnik.eu
ServerName zviretnik.eu
ServerAlias www.zvietnik.eu
...
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerAdmin webmaster@zviretnik.eu
ServerName www.zviretnik.eu
ServerAlias zviretnik.eu
...The ports 80 and 443 should be also defined in following configuration file.
/etc/apache2/ports.conf
Listen 80
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
Listen 443
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_gnutls.c>
Listen 443
</IfModule>Also check your /etc/hosts file, if DNS name and IP address is correct.

FreeNX is a system that allows you to access your desktop from another machine over the Internet. You can use this to login graphically to your desktop from a remote location. One example of its use would be to have a FreeNX server set up on your home computer, and graphically logging in to the home computer from your work computer, using a FreeNX client.
It’s Open Source, secure (SSH based), fast and versatile! License: GPL
FreeNX server:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freenx-team
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo sed -i 's/natty/lucid/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/freenx-team-ppa-natty.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install freenx
wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/freenx-server/+bug/576359/+attachment/1378450/+files/nxsetup.tar.gz
tar -xvf nxsetup.tar.gz
sudo cp nxsetup /usr/lib/nx/nxsetup
sudo /usr/lib/nx/nxsetup --install
scp /var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh/client.id_dsa.key client-user@cliet-machine:/~
sudo /etc/init.d/freenx-server startBy default, nxserver uses port 22 for communicating over SSH.

If Apache server status page http://zviretnik.eu/server-status error 403 page not found appear, the solution could be modification of .htaccess file of WordPress. Mode rewrite has to have following rule:
# Stop Processing if you see server-info or server-status
RewriteRule ^(server-info|server-status) - [L]
# The Rewrite Condition below did not work
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/server-statusDon’t forget, that server status is accessible mostly only from localhost. If you want to change it, you have to edit /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/status.conf (Allow from localhost).
In case you upgrade to Apache2, it may happen that your Gallery 3 show following error message when you try to change permission on album or photo:
Oh no! Your server needs a configuration change in order for you to hide photos! Ask your server administrator to enable mod_rewrite and set AllowOverride? FileInfo? Options to fix this.
If you have mode rewrite enabled (a2enmod rewrite) and your virtual host directory configuration already contain “AllowOverride FileInfo Options“, than problem could be in your /etc/hosts file. The localhost entry has to have also FQDN name of your server, for example:
http://www.geekylocker.com/how-to-activate-windows-7-with-win-7-loader/
Today, Geekylocker is presenting another good hack and tricks to activate your windows 7 copy trial into working version.There is two ways of activating your new os, which the first way is to use a programmed loader or product activator, and the second way, which is much harder, by tweaking and modifying your BIOS setting. There are couple of activators available on the Web today, and certainly they work with Windows 7 RTM 32 and 64 bits on almost any computer (homemade or branded) and even on Mac.
So, let us learn more and continue reading…
First, let put some notes on how act¡vators work on this new OS.
Act¡vators, also known as loaders, add a script on the boot partition (Linux Grub boot loader (GRLDR)) which will put OEM information (SLIC 2.1) into memory before Windows starts. This way Windows thinks that the SLIC 2.1 come from the BIOS (which is false). Act¡vators also install a certificate and an OEM SLP key to activate Windows.
The commonly used activator is win7 loader, which has been tested to work on many laptops such as Dell, Acer, Samsung etc. Here are the features of this loader:
This program to this very day is still the only fully coded API driven application that handles it’s own errors and depends on itself. It’s the original program based loader and it’s arguably the best loader based program to get you activated out right now with over 2 million downloads and counting and a strong fanbase behind it.
You can get win7 loader here:
Instructions:
1. Download the zip folder to your USB drive or external hd, so that you can run this program in the freshly installed OS.
2. Extract it. Run the application (.exe file).
3. Check the ‘Advanced options‘ , and the options are available on the right side of the window. Choose your SLIC, certificate and serial that fits your PC or laptop.
4. Press install. Done!
If everything goes ok, your copy of windows 7 is now activated!
