Are you in the EU? If not why would you think the laws there cover you?

Right, you cannot SELL your licenses in US, but what would prohibit you from buying a legally sold license? That is what I am trying to figure out.

I am not selling, but looking at buying. Completely different rules in many cases.

Buying them is likely legal. Using them while in the US is where the US law, rather than the EU one, would matter.

The law is against selling, correct? So if you buy, is there something stating you cannot use?

If there is, it would have to be in the EULA.

Some details can be found here on recommended changes.

It was a messy setup and doesn't work with most browsers. I started laughing when I got the cert prompt.

Why, you would expect a self signed unless you replace it.

Sorry, not that I wasn't expecting it since it is self-signed. Just after having it not work with anything but Edge, it was just one more thing to get through and I was nearly done at that point. But I couldn't get it working with Edge very quickly to try it out (got more errors) so I eventually just uninstalled it.

Edge would act the same as IE, I mean you would expect that after the SSL Cert warning anything else would work better but you it is always a feature with MS 🙂

@anthonyh said in XenServer 6.5 - Clean Up Storage Repository:

I've realized that there is other Zimbra maintenance that I need to schedule (most importantly upgrading from 8.6.0 to current). I'm going to do the shut down, rescan SR, and hope it coalesces when I do this work. I seem to be in OK shape for the moment. Alike is able to back it up and backups are good (I did a test restore successfully).

Also for a Zimbra you will have some downtime when upgrading for sure (Not as much as if you did Exchange 😉 )

JB suggested that this is related to an as yet unresolved issue with pjsip.

To that end, I have changed this trunk from pjsip to sip.

Being as this is an intermittent issue (3 times in the last month, reboot always fixes), only time will tell if sip fixes it.

In the meantime I'm still curious if the logs are in any way helpful?

@stacksofplates That looks like an excellent way of doing tasks like this. Having that kind of control and options with that few lines is great i think.

Sounds like you won the lottery

Not quite, but today would be a good day to buy a ticket.

Thank you for your inputs.

@scottalanmiller said in Anyone Using Collabora and NextCloud Behind NGinx?:

Not sure how I should have things configured. I believe that I followed all of the instructions properly, but it is not working and there are no really clear instructions for a dual server scenario. All of the official stuff lists single server and Apache.

The one thing I remember having issues with was that it wants to communicate over the same "channel" in between the Collabora and NextCloud servers, so if the external browser connection is https, then it's not happy and throws errors if the back end isn't communicating over https as well. Getting that https channel setup with the recommended Drupal container and instructions for that didn't seem to work, and was such a pain I gave up trying to get it fixed at the time.

Some important things to keep in perspective...

The average CEO is incompetent. The average business loses money and will go out of business. The average business that survives doesn't do well. The average IT person is incompetent. The average of any position, in any field, is incompetent.

Averages are quirky things. The average is crap. So that "most" companies and IT people are like this, shouldn't really make us upset or worried. No one worried about this stuff is average or looking to be average.

LMAO. So I am actually correct in constantly thinking that I am incompetent at my job and should technically be fired.

LOL. Assuming you are AVERAGE then you are incompetent and should NOT be fired because incompetence is all that is normally expected 😉

But like I have said elsewhere, if you are taking time to post on a professional forum, that already puts you above average. And as I said here, if you are worried about being average, that puts you above average.

None of us are average. That can make this harder, because we start to feel like the average is pretty good. But it's the average of a highly self-selected group. It's like trying to determine who well the average person would do in hand to hand combat by evaluating the results of Roman arena gladiator fights. The average gladiator is nothing like the average person, they've already self filtered heavily.

Well thanks. I do trey very very hard to make the wises choices with everything for work. I mean, I worked a decade in retail and hated it, and now I have an IT job where I'm in charge of an entire environment... it's a very massive learning opportunity and I've learned and done so much.. but yeah, there's a lot of times where I feel like I'm not qualified, at least until I learn and do the thing and succeed at it.

That's a different effect. IT is a HUGE field. No individual should ever feel like they have enough knowledge to do the job at any significant level. It's just not realistic. That's why, no matter how small a company is, they need a team of experts. IT is just too big. Most only need to work a few hours a year, but they are all needed. The best CIOs still hire consultants or in larger companies internal IT experts, for nearly every functional area.

Yes i have a process i want to follow too but cant.
3 years after people have not worked here, they still have an email and i think it is stupid AF.

and where is that email going? Who's looking at the old message, responding to the new?

Haven't done this since 2005 and we did "from scratch" back then.

@table said in Duplicating IVR entries in FreePBX 13:

@jaredbusch

Is there a better way to do this with whats included in freepbx or commercial modules? I was thinking just putting the script in cron and just have it run every so many hours. Then eventually making a form to add or modify the data.

What I would do is update your ivr3 to include the id and name from ivr_details and think of those as the unique key. Or add them to a separate cross reference table, however you want to handle it.

Then add logic to your system to fail and notify if there is a mismatch (aka someone changed it in FreePBX).

There is no way to do this in FreePBX itself.

Once you change the database, you will have to reload everything.

You can issue the fwconsole reload command from your script. That is the same as clicking the red "Apply Config" button.

@dave247 said in Anyone running SonicOS 6.5.0.2-8n?:

We run a SonicWall NSA 3600 where I work and I am staring to look into upgrading to the new 6.5 firmware (6.5.0.2-8n). I have heard of some issues with the last two updates, and wanted to get more input if anyone has any to give..

I am not, I am using the 6.2.9 on the production Sonicwalls we have. I would recommend to test it out if possible.

Unfortunately I can't realistically test it out. Even if I had an extra, non-production unit, I doubt I could effectively detect issues since production factors would not be present enough to fully test. I suppose I could just always roll back if necessary... but I think I will probably be waiting a few more releases.. that or just move to a different UTM all together..

@vhinzsanchez Containers are lighter and faster. And they are a type of virtual machine, Type-C virtualization. So things like performance and density alone are reasons that containers are popular.

@coliver Nope, not for over a year. Also havent logged in since last year either though.

Agreements expire, but I've never lost access. I've not seen new until I add them sometimes though.
