I've read the client ssl cert section in the wiki and it talks about using a self signed cert, if I am using a commercial cert, in this case godaddy, how do I implement a self signed cert for the client side and have dovecot make use of this? I know the mechanics of setting up the self signed ca, the question is more what configuration changes do I need to make in dovecot to handle both

I charge my customers through PayPal, but recently faced a fraud which previously had only heard about. Somebody registered a few accounts, paid online with paypal (as my service is only prepaid) and started making expensive long distance calls. In fact the IP registering the accounts was from Florida, and IPs making calls were from Africa. After about 20 minutes the first payment was reversed.

Hello Railists and Rubyists, I know that the topic of handling credit card numbers has been expounded before on this list (I''ve searched the archives) but I want to ask the question in a slightly different way, and get your feedback: Previous discussions on the list center around what to do with the card number *after* you have processed the credit card with a payment gateway

I am running a production server with 40 pop3 users using dovecot 0.99.14. I am trying to get a chained certificate installed that I purchased through godaddy.com. I need some clarification on how to do this. I found some really vague instructions on the dovecot wiki http://wiki.dovecot.org/ChainedSSLCertificates?highlight=%28chained%29 Unfortunately these instructions are very confusing for me. I

Although I know the basics about getting and installing web and mail server ssl certs, I haven't had to "purchase" and do it "myself" for some time. i always had someone else dealing with it. I am wondering what you folks on the list are using on your centos web and mail servers :-) Are you making your own or are you purchasing them from godaddy, thawte, geotrust,

Sorry to trouble the list with this question... Do many rails developers run or test rails apps on godaddy hosted servers? Is there any documentation (outside of what godaddy provides) about uploading and testing rails apps there? Perhaps someone has written a tutorial? I googled, but found little to no info about it other than the sparse godaddy docs. Thanks!

Has anyone had any luck setting up a Rails App using GoDaddy? I''m at my wits end, I uploaded the site using the "instructions" in the Help Center but I keep getting the Application error Rails application failed to start properly" Error.

My GoDaddy Rails site has been plugging away for a couple of weeks. Its just a proof of concept with very little use. I haven''t updated it or restarted FCGI at all. But today, it just quit working altogether. In the error log, I''m getting: (104)Connection reset by peer: FastCGI: comm with server "dispatch.fcgi" aborted: read failed FastCGI: incomplete

Hi list, I am having a debate with one of my clients where I administer their domain and storage server but the website is hosted by godaddy. thus www.mydomain.org goes to one of godaddy's servers but the mydomain.org and mail.mydomain.org and ns1.mydomain.org all go elsewhere. My website designer has been convinced by the godaddy web design team that we should <quote> Again, the

Greetings, What are some registrars that members of this list have had good experience with? I was stepping through the godaddy checkout process, and being opted-in to a dozen different upsell features just left a bad impression. But I have no clue who else to go with. -Eugene -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi, I''m completely new to all of this. Not even certain this is an appropriate forum for an installation question. I''m just about to plunk down some money to get a virtual server. In looking over the list of isp''s elsewhere on this site, goDaddy isn''t mentioned - probably because they don''t offer rails as a standard distribution. There are some

Ok, first up, I''m a Rails newbie. My site is hosted on godaddy.com Godaddy has the Ferret GEM installed by default. They do not have acts_as_ferret installed so I can''t use that.

I have been using a free DNS service for the past seven (7) years. This morning, at 4 A.M., , I changed the "A" record for one of my web sites, to point to an IP address on a different server, so I could test. After watching the TTL count down from 3600 to zero, with the "dig" command, it then reset to 3600, but still resolved to the original IP address. :-) I set the

I was doing this: @line_items = LineItems.find_all_by_invoice_id(params[:id]) @payments = Payments.find_all_by_invoice_id(params[:id]) @total = @line_items.sum{ |item| item.cost } @payment_total = @payments.sum{ |payment| payment.value } @balance = @total - @payment_total But when no payments had been made it was coming up with an error when trying to sum nil, so I did
