Amavisd startup error in iRedMail
0Just after the end of the installation (CentOS 6 64 bit) I tried to setup the DNS record for DKIM following the tutorial given there, but this is the error that I got:
# amavisd showkeys
Config file “/etc/amavisd.conf” does not exist, at /usr/sbin/amavisd line 1799.
Actually the right config file path is /etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf and not /etc/amavisd.conf so I solved with a symlink

Using USB devices with VMware vSphere 4.1
0Using a USB device with ESX… without. Has this ever happened to you? For one reason or another, you’ve been forced to suffer at the hands of a corporation that forces its customers to use hardware based methods to comply with licensing restrictions. These hardware methods often take the form of a USB-based dongle that has to exist physical on the server. Of course, as organizations continue to virtualize more and more of their environments; these hardware devices grow more and more bothersome. Although there are products on the market that allow virtualized servers to talk to USB hubs over TCP/IP, with VMware vSphere 4.1, VMware has added USB pass-through capability to ESX allowing you to skip the need to buy one of these TCP/IP devices and simply plug a USB device directly into your server.

But that was not to happen… and so like mosr problem/ issues this one also landed on my desk.. *aargh..

Configure Moodle not to Grade an Activity (SCORM)…
0Our moodle instance was grading the learning activities as well, as they were packed using iSpring in SCORM 1.2 package and even if the students went through the whole presentation, they were still given “0″ by the instance. The students were not happy seeing F in the online grade card, despite us telling them these will have nobearing on the final certfication they will receive 
.
One option was to recreate the SCORM package and remove the option of getting graded but too much work. Luckily for us, Moodle provides and alternative :
