Do you know if you built modules from source? What PHP packages do you have installed? Do you need these modules? So many questions, not too easy to help via a forum like this.

Looks like you've got some PHP modules installed (either packaged or built from source?) that were built for another PHP API version, so they won't work with your current PHP install.

Are you talking about an individual client? Maybe (s)he can just create a rule to automatically delete mail from this particular address in his/her mail client if you don't want to mess with this server-wide?

Yes, the actual rDNS entries that the internet at large looks up are handled by our co-lo company's DNS servers. But because we have 127.0.0.1 as the first entry in resolv.conf, these are almost never used when our own systems do lookups. And we don't want to use something other than 127.0.0.1 as t...

Unfortunately, I cannot complete the process above. I operate two servers but I simply do not have the time to do things the way you indicate. Plus, this opens doors to a world of stuff that I do not have time to learn. If you care about having properly managed servers, but don't have they time to ...

PTR records are handled by the party handling the IP addresses. When you rent a server from a server provider that's usually not you, but the server provider. They might allow you to set the PTR records for your IP addresses through a control panel or you might have to ask them via e-mail, but usual...

PHP 5.2.x. I wouldn't recommend running PHP 5.2.x in production though, since that's no longer supported. If you're running RHEL/CentOS 5 you could go with their PHP 5.1.x packages which are still supported by the distribution. With PHP 5.3 they introduced Zend Guard Loader, which also supports runn...

Previously reported in another topic on qmail-scanner-2.10-8, but the problem still exists in qmail-scanner-2.10-9: /etc/logrotate.d/qmail-scanner contains missngok instead of missingok.

The qmail-scanner-2.10-9 does seem to work, but /etc/logrotate.d/qmail-scanner still has 'missngok' instead of 'missingok', so we had to patch that ourselves.

What OS and version are you running? Which repository should contain that package according to you? yum search libfuse doesn't find any libfuse package in any of the repositories that we use on CentOS 5 and 6.

Speedometer lets one "measure and display the rate of data across a network connection or data being stored in a file" and it's pretty cool. Check it out at http://excess.org/speedometer/ Speedometer 2.8 requires Python 2.6 and python-urwid. These are both available in the base EL6 reposit...

Found the package php53-soap. It's in the default OS repository, so yumdownloader php53-soap should have downloaded it for you. Issued yum install command and it says it's obsolete and trys to reinstall the previous 5.3.20 version of soap that I just removed. See below. The php-soap package from th...

You're mixing php53* packages from the EL5 base repository with php* packages from the Atomic repository. That's not going to work. Choose one or the other and make sure all of your PHP packages are from the same version and repository.

I think you might have a mix of packages from different PHP distributions installed. What is the output of rpm -qa | grep ^php | sort?

I'm not aware of any problematic packages and we're running all of the above on our EL5 servers.

I guess you'll need to gather more info on what specific activity was causing the load on your server.
