After upgrading to Jaunty, the Tracker applet wanted to reindex. It failed to reindex and popped up the message:
Tracker
There was an error while performing indexing:
Index corrupted.
To fix:
Open terminal and type:
$ sudo apt-get install tracker-utils
$ tracker-processes -r

Because sipXecs 4.0.0 installer ISO is missing /etc/redhat-release, yum updates are not possible. To correct the problem, run ‘rpm -ivh http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.2/os/i386/CentOS/centos-release-5-2.el5.centos.i386.rpm’. After this completes, you should be able to use the yum repositories to update and install software. In particular, this is useful for replacing the kernel with a kernel-vm or kernel-xen build for virtualiztion.
On Apache, to redirect everything that comes in to port 80 to port 443, insert the following into the Apache config file (usually /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf). This should be added between the or tags for the site you wish to alter.
Modify /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}$1 [L,R]
Then restart Apache. That’s it. All traffic should now be redirected to use SSL.
The PSTN as we know it has a limited future. As VoIP technology continues to develop, we will see the need for the PSTN fall away. By utilizing VoIP, and in particular SIP, along with other network services, namely DNS, we will be able to establish voice and video communications around the world as easily as we connect to web sites. DNS SRV and TXT records make it easy to locate services on foreign networks and to communicate with these services. Establishing voice and video calls will be accomplished by using a URI, not a phone number. Imagine what the possibilities will be when are finally able to break free of the telco and manage our own communications!
PLEXNEX.net will answer that need and allow clients to manage their communications in whatever way they see fit, without the restrictions and problems of traditional telco. PLEXNEX.net is coming soon…
UPDATE: Take a look at this article regarding AT&T’s current thinking about the PSTN – http://www.fiercevoip.com/story/t-fcc-kill-pstn/2010-01-03
