Hosting network services services and websites basics

Thu, 12 Nov 2015 19:47:53 +0200

Hosting network services and websites or blogs like this one is now a days a regular task of anyone who want to conduct a successful business. This is non written a requirement for many other activities as well. If you are not an ICT professional and you have a website or need to deploy some services in your business and you wander where to store them and how. Then this article is for you.

More people than you might think want to get a server at their home or office and host their own websites and services locally. I am not 100% against this type of solutions, but the truth is the all the odds now a days are against it unless you have a particularly special need to have it locally. Let see what are the drawbacks.

Web hosting administration software free alternative.

Hi, have engaged myself on a quest to look for an administration panel for my customers hosting. I want a good one to have it as an alternative to

Web Hosting

cPanel, the truth is that every day I like the cPanel project less and the free alternatives are getting better. So unless you are committed for some MAJOR reason to cPanel I would not recommend it any more. Use any other GLP like thing from out there, if the problem is support get better support from one of the communities.

Synchronization GLPI LDAP or Active Directory

Mon, 12 Jan 2015 23:27:46 +0200

Synchronization GLPI LDAP. GLPI is a very popular ticket (call) system. It has a lot of features that make it competitive with any other ticketing or ICT management system. Some of the features that I have configured before are here.

LDAP Active Directory Connection.

One of the many powerful features of GLPI is the integration with many forms of LDAP. Among them Windows Active Directory (AD). To integrate it you just have to supply your AD server info on the form shown on this picture.

LDAP AD config

If you receive any error about not finding any configuration. You might have the PHP LDAP module missing. So make sure the module is installed.

Host LDAP is the address of the server (AD or Openldap) that glpi will use.
Basedn is the field that identifies the DN (Distinguished Name) where the search is starting.
rootdn (For non anonymous connections): this is for the user authorized to read the Directory (AD or Ldap for example: cn=Admin,ou=People,dc=mycompany make sure not to leave spaces between nodes. This is wrong: cn=Admin, ou=People , dc…)****
Pass (For non anonymous connections): User password.
Connection filter: To restrict the search.

Hits, visitors, challenges and achievements; Abel world

Visitors, my personal blog is more than one year now. During this time I managed to achieve a few things 🙂 and

Pic. 1 – Today’s visits per country.

some others not so well. As an ICT professional this was my first adventure with having my own blog. I have been in the field for many years. Mainly doing other types of works. Like network administration, developing software and websites, etc. Never before I have started my own web. Never tried to maintain a my own web to make it succeed.

before starting to explain the results fist let me tell you the objectives of creating the web. When I created my blog I wanted to:

Learn English by writing and being corrected by people.
Create sort of a logbook of some of the work I do.

So far I have half won half lost. Let me put the list of failures first.

My web is not a hit like Facebook. It would be good to have something like that and become a million-er. But it just did not happen. It was not one of my objectives and my subjects are not so general. I have not put enough time on this web. in general I did not manage.
I still have a lot of English to learn, and I think I am a bit dyslectic. I am serious! I write things and I think they are fine. Then review a few times. Everything is perfect. Give it to someone to read and he finds that I made a lot of mistakes like forgetting about letters or changing them. Let say I write “in” when I wanted to write “is”. About the English improvement, if you read my fist posts you will see for your self. For instance check out this one.
My website cost is payed from my own pocket, it does not pays it self yet. But soon it will.
I have not been able to really put all the time I wanted in to the site.

The good things:

GLPI for technical support, the free tickets System.

Sat, 09 Nov 2013 10:34:41 +0200

GLPI Statistic Charts

GLPI is a free Tickets System distributed under GNU/GPL license. But When do you need a ticket system like this? This is one of the biggest challenges of the technical support companies or technical support teams. If they have to deal with many customers and the response times are critical. To be able to track, follow and organize the work of the different technicians that are supposed to do the actual job. In this scenario the paper work always becomes a challenge, accessibility, loose of information, spell and writing errors, individual and collective statistics, reporting, etc.
