Integrating eAccelerator Into PHP5 (Debian Etch)
Author: Falko Timme • Tags: debian, php • Comments: 9Integrating eAccelerator Into PHP5 (Debian Etch) This guide explains how to integrate eAccelerator into PHP5 on a Debian Etch system. From the eAccelerator project page: "eAccelerator is a free open-source PHP accelerator, optimizer, and dynamic content cache. It increases the performance of PHP scripts by caching them in their compiled state, so that the overhead of compiling is almost completely eliminated. It also optimizes scripts to speed up their execution. eAccelerator typically reduces server load and increases the speed of your PHP code by 1-10 times."

Installing The Asterisk PBX And The Asterisk Web-Based Provisioning GUI On Linux
Author: npereira • Tags: linux • Comments: 17Installing The Asterisk PBX And The Asterisk Web-Based Provisioning GUI On Linux I have read about Asterisk and wanted to test it out as I will be managing/troubleshooting it at work anytime soon, so I thought of getting my hands dirty and getting some basic experience on it. First, I set up a box with Linux RedHat ES4 but I think any Linux distro would do. Kubuntu/Ubuntu, Fedora or Mandriva would work fine.

Ventrilo Voice Communication Server In A Chrooted Environment On Ubuntu Feisty AMD64
Author: grant • Tags: ubuntu • Comments: 5Ventrilo Voice Communication Server In A Chrooted Environment On Ubuntu Feisty AMD64 This tutorial explains how to set up Ventrilo, a popular voice communication server, in a chrooted environment, and to run as a non-privileged user. The main reason for doing this is security. Ventrilo is distributed only in binary format, which some people distrust. A chrooted environment means the program only has access to its home directory, not the entire system. Running it like this means that if there is a bug or exploit in Ventrilo, it is not likely to compromise the rest of the system.
