When I first set up CainManor on slicehost, e-mail wasn’t working. The solution, based on this thread, was to install postfix.
apt-get install postfix -Install postfix
edit /etc/postfix/main.cf
mydomain = cainmanor.com
myorigin = cainmanor.com
mynetworks_style = host
service postfix start -start the service to see if it works as expected.
chkconfig –list postfix - make sure it will start on boot. The default install takes care of this
nmap -sP 10.1.1.0/24
When I need to find an open IP, this is a decent way to do it. I wish there were a way to find IPs that don’t respond, but this works for now. This won’t work if your network bans ICMP traffic, or your host doesn’t respond, but is alive.
Now that we have the OS ready for the wordpress install, let’s finish up…

I’m doing this on my new host - Slicehost (more about that later.) It’s VPS, which gives you a clean install of your choice of Linux Operating Systems (they have seven or eight choices.) In this case, I’m using CentOS, since it’s close to what we use at work.

Let’s you use correct syntax on your code snippets, or rather - keeps WordPress from fucking up your code.
Download from here. To use, wrap your code with
<pre lang="LANGUAGE" line=”1″>and</pre>
line=”1″ is optional. This is based on syntax highlighting from GeSHI. You can visit their page for a full list of supported languages. The ones I care about are - or rather, may care about in the future:
find your public SMB shares with findsmb
findsmb
*=DMB
+=LMB

VMWare ESX Server, by default, does not allow outgoing SSH connections.
You must be very careful where you place your memory. On a dual proc HP 385, as an example, you have two processors and 8 slots for memory. Each processor must have access to the same size of memory. For example, proc A has slots 1 & 2 full of 1GB DIMMs, then proc B must have slots 5 & 6 with 1GB DIMMs. You will pull a lot of hair with the errors you’ll see if you make this mistake.

dig docs +search <- use /etc/resolv.conf search order
dig -x 74.208.27.139 +short <- reverse lookup
dig cainmanor.com +trace <- traceroute for DNS
dig cainmanor.com +nssearch <- find your SOA serial number to see if your records are updated.
