			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The information for setting up this iPhone app on XP with Reaper is very limited. Here is a quick guide.<span id="more-395"></span></p>
<p>Installation:</p>
<ol>
<li>So far I&#8217;ve only got this to work on XP because I don&#8217;t know of a midi loopback driver with Windows 7 support that has multiple inputs and outputs.</li>
<li>Install DSMIDIWiFi.</li>
<li>Install Midi Yoke (the loopback driver).</li>
<li>Reboot (otherwise the new midi drivers won&#8217;t be visible).</li>
</ol>
<p>First time setup:</p>
<ol>
<li>Open DSMIDIWiFi and select the following:<br />
Input: &#8220;In From MIDI Yoke: <strong>1</strong>&#8221;<br />
Output: &#8220;Out To MIDI Yoke: <strong>2</strong>&#8220;</li>
<li>Open AC-7 on your iPhone and just leave it running.</li>
<li>Open Reaper and do the following:</li>
<li>Go to Options -&gt; Preferences</li>
<li>Under Audio &#8211; Midi Devices enable the following:<br />
Midi Input: &#8220;In From MIDI Yoke: <strong>2</strong>&#8221;<br />
Midi Input: &#8220;In From MIDI Yoke: <strong>1</strong>&#8221;<br />
(Note the numbers are opposite from the settings in DSMIDIWiFi)</li>
<li>In that same preference window, click Control Surfaces (bottom left).</li>
<li>Add a new control service, when prompted, choose &#8220;Mackie Control Universal&#8221;.</li>
<li>Configure the inputs and outputs as follows:<br />
Midi Input: &#8220;In From MIDI Yoke: <strong>2</strong>&#8221;<br />
Midi Input: &#8220;In From MIDI Yoke: <strong>1</strong>&#8221; (Same as before)</li>
<li>Apply the changes. The software should function now.</li>
</ol>
<p>Further use (before opening Reaper in the future):</p>
<ol>
<li>Open DSMIDIWiFi and select the following:<br />
Input: &#8220;In From MIDI Yoke: <strong>1</strong>&#8221;<br />
Output: &#8220;Out To MIDI Yoke: <strong>2</strong>&#8220;</li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a translation from Spanish to English, but still the best guide I&#8217;ve used so far. Modified slightly to help others but could use more work.</p>
<p><span style="color: red;">Important:</span> ModSecurity blocks lots of UNIX commands. I had to add dots to them. They are colored red so you know to change them.</p>
<blockquote><p>This article assumes that you have installed a RedHat Enterprise or CentOS and not guaranteed to work, although we have tested on several CentOS 4.5 with success.<span id="more-311"></span></p>
<p>The first thing is make sure we have installed the <em>libxml2</em> library, for it only have to do a search on our system, if installed normally. <strong>(XPC Note: Try &#8220;yum install libxml2-devel&#8221;)</strong></p>
<p>You can check if it is installed with the command:</p>
<p>rpm -q libxml2</p>
<p>To compile <strong>ModSecurity</strong> install and need some additional packages, then you can uninstall it because it is not necessary.</p>
<p>The packages needed are:</p>
<p><em>httpd-devel</em> <em>httpd-devel</em> <em></em></p>
<p><em></em> <em>apr-devel</em> <em>apr-devel</em> <em></em></p>
<p><em></em> <em>apr-util-devel</em> <em>apr-util-devel</em> <em></em></p>
<p><em></em> <em>pcre-devel</em> <em>pcre-devel</em></p>
<p>In case you miss some package for CentOS can install as follows:</p>
<p>yum install libxml2</p>
<p>yum install httpd-devel</p>
<p>Now go on the mod_security, for this visit the <a href="http://www.modsecurity.org/">official website ModSecurity</a> to download the latest version. The example shows the version available today, we have to unzip, I recommend downloading everything in <em>/ usr / local / share /,</em> for example:</p>
<p><span style="color: red;">C.D</span> /usr/local/share/</p>
<p><span style="color: red;">W.G.E.T</span> http://www.modsecurity.org/download/modsecurity-apache_2.1.3.tar.gz</p>
<p>tar zxf modsecurity-apache_2.1.3.tar.gz</p>
<p>Now we have once unzipped edit the <em>Makefile</em> in the directory will be apache2 file just unzip.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>(XPC Note: After unzipping go to /apache2 and follow the instructions &#8220;<a href="http://www.modsecurity.org/documentation/modsecurity-apache/2.5.9/html-multipage/installation.html">Run the configure script to generate a Makefile.</a>&#8221; on the ModSecurity documentation.</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>In this file we must change the line to tell where we have indicated the Apache installed with the development package <em>(httpd-devel)</em> installed before.</p>
<p>top_dir = /usr/lib/httpd</p>
<p>We are now ready to compile and install ModSecurity with the following commands</p>
<p>make</p>
<p>service httpd stop</p>
<p>make install</p>
<p>now in the Apache configuration in <em>/ etc / httpd / conf / editing httpd.conf</em> with your favorite editor, I would do this:</p>
<p>joe /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf</p>
<p>and look for the module loading area, looking for <em>&#8220;LoadModule&#8221;</em> (Control + K + F <em>joe).</em></p>
<p>At the beginning of this section adds:</p>
<p>LoadFile /usr/lib/libxml2.so</p>
<p>And then at the end of this section of apache module loading added:</p>
<p>LoadModule security2_module modules/mod_security2.so</p>
<p>Include conf/modsecurity/*.conf</p>
<p>and immediately made this policy must be updated by doing the following configuration:</p>
<p><span style="color: red;">M.K.D.I.R</span> /etc/httpd/conf/modsecurity;<span style="color: red;">C.D</span> /etc/httpd/conf/modsecurity</p>
<p><span style="color: red;">W.G.E.T</span> http://www.modsecurity.org/download/modsecurity-core-rules_2.1-1.4.3.tar.gz</p>
<p>tar zxf modsecurity-core-rules_2.1-1.4.3.tar.gz</p>
<p>rm -f modsecurity-core-rules_2.1-1.4.3.tar.gz</p>
<p>And now you have the default policies, remember  that you can adapt them by editing the configuration files you  installed for ModSecurity.</p>
<p>Do not forget to restart apache with:</p>
<p>service httpd restart</p>
<p>and of course remove the package that may no longer need to:</p>
<p>rpm -e httpd-devel</p>
<p>rpm -e apr-util-devel</p>
<p>rpm -e apr-devel</p>
<p>rpm -e pcre-devel</p>
<p>Congratulations, now you have <em><strong>mod_security</strong></em> installed on your Apache2 server with CentOS and Plesk panel.</p>
<p><strong>VERY IMPORTANT:</strong> If you do not know please delegate this task to your provider or system administrator preferred.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I started receiving the following error after making some network changes:</p>
<div class="codesnip-container" >Unable to send message to email@email.com. LM_Mailer responded: SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.</div>
<p><strong>How I fixed it:</strong> I set my ListMessenger to use PHPmail and then edited my php.ini file. In that file there is a setting for your smtp server, it was set to localhost. I changed it to our default smtp server and it worked again.</p>
<p><strong>Why:</strong> I was fiddling around with network settings and managed to break something so that computers on the local network can&#8217;t access the server via it&#8217;s name, and apparently it can&#8217;t access itself by localhost. I&#8217;m not sure why this happened but I think it has something to do with VMWare network cards stealing priority and forcing IP&#8217;s that didn&#8217;t work.</p>

<li>System temperatures (top left, comes from the software <em>Everest</em>)</li>
<li>Local weather (middle)</li>
<li>Upload/download bandwidth (right, has bars that show how much capacity is in use)</li>
<li>CPU/RAM usage</li>
<li>Hard drive usage</li>
<li>Volume (far right)</li>
<li>Gmail new message count (top right)</li>
</ul>
<p>I also have a few more pages that show more details:<span id="more-298"></span></p>

<p>I wanted to display Gmail where foobar2000 shows when foobar isn&#8217;t playing (2nd screenshot), but that feature in the plugin is currently broken.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll probably release my config. If so it&#8217;ll be here.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are a few basic guides:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=16368">powerex&#8217;s guide</a> where you format with an HP tool</li>
<li><a href="http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=10725">ziggywas&#8217; tip</a> to format with PeToUSB</li>
<li>(The following step to those 2 summaries is to just use the Acronis Rescue disk creator)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>There&#8217;s only one small catch.</strong> Setting the first boot device to &#8220;Removeable Device&#8221; doesn&#8217;t include your usb stick. Boot with your USB stick and find the list of hard drives in the boot menu, then move your stick up to first place. Then go back to the boot priority menu and you should see your actual flash drive listed, make that first and you&#8217;re good to go.</p>
<p>Oh and FYI, Acronis can&#8217;t access the Windows network on the EEE PC, nor can it access my big external drive (which doesn&#8217;t make sense). =/</p>
<p>I did find this one interesting tidbit of info:</p>
<blockquote><p>Update:  For whatever reason, Acronis v10 or 11 + EeePC 900 does not like being plugged into an Ethernet Switch (hanging off a router) for Recovery &#8211; it can&#8217;t find a network or any network shares &#8211; in fact Acronis sees it as &#8220;cable unplugged&#8221;.  I plugged the 900 directly into a router port, bypassing the Ethernet Switch, and Acronis found the Network.  Done. [<a href="http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=33443">Source</a>]</p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;m plugged directly into a router and it&#8217;s still not working. But maybe using a cross-wired cable would do the trick.</p>
