Two and three work for me. That is my limit.

sudo a2enmod rewrite

So it was your Apache config

I figured it was. I just couldn't find the solution. I'm documenting it here as much for myself for the possibility I need it again in the future as others.

Fixed it! It was an apache issue that I needed to change a setting in. I just didn't know what setting or file but I fixed it!

Yes but I wear prescription lenses.

So do I (or is it eye?) 😉

If you have an old PC laying around (or find one on kijiji for < $50), put two network cards in it and install pfSense. If you're concerned about power consumption, find a Pentium 3; they draw very little power. If space is an issue and you don't mind spending a few $ (< $200), get an Alix board/case/power supply.

I gave up on consumer routers a while ago. I found mine would choke every time someone started doing a portscan or other weird hacking/scanning attempts on the cable network. I still use a D-Link wireless router for my Wifi access, but it's running openwrt and it's just a bridge between the WLAN and LAN (WAN port is not in use)

Note, I had the "choking" issue on my D-Link and Linksys routers even while they were running openwrt; I think the small CPU's in them just couldn't handle dropping all the packets and while continuing to serve legitimate traffic

My Cisco E3000 running dd-wrt has yet to go down in almost 4 days. Before, it was every 4 hours with my network. No exaggeration. When you host your own website out of the location too, that's really bad. But I know what you mean. The OEM firmware sucks on almost all consumer stuff. Netgear Genie is the best of the lot that I've seen but still pales in comparison to dd-wrt, which I swear by.

@ajstringham my too. I sometimes refer to gaming as "interactive fiction" because I see it as storytelling. I don't care about the action.

I was reading in yesterday's paper about deep fried pizza, which I hadn't heard of before.
http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/jul/24/deep-fried-pizza-just-like-make-in-naples

The dry-fry method also discussed in the article is similar to how I cook pizza at home. I start the pizza in a cast-iron frying pan on the stove and then finish it in a very hot oven (not under the grill) for five minutes. I've had rows on food forums about pizza before that would make a Spiceworks RAID 5 discussion seem tame. My cousin now has an outdoor, wood-fired oven that cost thousands and has made me very jealous. I've yet to be invited to try it though.

I love the taste of homemade pizza when i cook it on my gas grill!

Good article, AJ. Maybe mention about Windows servers that you can get a free demo copy that has an expiration and that spending money can often be avoided if people look around.

Good point. Mention it in the comments! Please!

Congrats A.J 🙂

VPN will work but cost money.

Or a friend with bandwidth to spare.

I might be willing @Joyfano to setup a VPN for you. I can spin up a Windows server on my ESXi box (I have spare licenses) and just use OpenVPN or something similar (Pertino maybe). If you're interested, I wouldn't mind. 🙂

Thank you A.J. But i guess i need to have a good internet to watch netflix right?

Yeah, that typically helps. What is your internet speed?

hahaha sad to say but our internet is pretty slow and in our place 1mpbs is the only available for home user.
maybe some day if i am able to move in other place where there's a good internet. ;(

That made all of us here in the Webroot office laugh out loud.

It was in a Facebook comment on some post somewhere. I saw it and laughed and knew immediately it was share worthy. LOL

Ok A.J you win hahaha

Besides, Verizon said that they can't bridge it, and they told me Actiontec told them that it can't be done. However, @PSX_Defector is nice enough to know there IS indeed a way and he's going to help me tonight. 😄

Sounds like a Tier 1 support response. I would have asked to speak to a higher level tech that knows what bridge mode means.

Yeah, Verizon isn't very technical.

Don't tell @PSX_Defector that.

I'm pretty sure that he knows 😉

Yes, yes. He says so all the time. It was a joke...lol
