Plesk 9.01 & Firewall activation issues

Written on February 28th, 2009 by Dennisno shouts

the update of Plesk 9.01 is causing a serious issue on the firewall.

Trying to activate the firewall is causing an error message: proc_close() failed: mktime()

Unfortunately 2 IP’s I configured to use SSH were changed: 1 DSL IP due to moving our office and 1 DSL IP due to change at my ISP. oh oh .. no IP allowed to use SSH anymore.

With the help of Tommy Leushuis of Leaseweb I managed to turn off the firewall (yeah). Stopping the firewall made me able to use SSH again.

problem lays here: /usr/local/psa/var/modules/firewall/

the file firewall-active.sh is not updated. Changing manually the file and run it is activating the correct configuration again. Using the firewall commands from the plesk web interface is not possible. Cause all changes made by another script is overwritten by the firewall-active.sh again.

I changed the firewall-active.sh ran it and started the firewall again. Problem Solved!

MediaGiant News: Save your settings before firmware upgrade

Written on February 27th, 2009 by Dennis2 shouts

Using a Conceptronic Mediagiant and you want to save your settings before a firmware upgrade? Here is how you can do it

A forced firmware upgrade is deleting all settings, but with a script it is possible to save the information. (and possible it will allow you to do more things).

1. Copy the shooting.sh file to an USB Flash Drive (use link to save the file)
2. Insert USB Flash Drive into the MediaGiant
3. Goto the Copy page  and focus on the shooting.sh file
4. Push on your remote the GOTO button and than push the REPEAT button  (you see 2x the invalid icon) the configuration is being backupped.
5. The device will be rebooting, after the reboot than you can do the firmware upgrade.
6. When firmware upgraded is finished, please go into  the Copy page and focus on shooting.sh again
7. push on your remote control the GOTO button thanpush REPEAT button the configuration is restored, device will reboot

Please be noticed: the script is creating a ‘VenusSetup.dat’ file on your HDD, you have to REMOVE  after your settings are restored.Cause if exist a next time it will use that file for your settings. Even if you have made changes afterwards

Looking for a HDTV Video Camera

Written on February 25th, 2009 by Dennis4 shouts

I am searching for a High Definition (1080p) Video Camera. But I have no clue what to choose: Sony, Canon, JVC ?

I do not want to have a big one (like the ones you need to put on your shoulder)

A wide Angle view (groothoek) must be available if possible. and of course it must give great video ..

Anyone a thought?

I hate satellites

Written on February 24th, 2009 by Dennisone shout

I hate LNB’s to be honest. Quads and Quattro LNB’s .. stupid naming where there is a good difference between the usage of the LNB.

Finally understood and got the damn thing working. Thanks Daniel !
