IE8 & ADOBE FLASH PLAYER FIX

Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe’s Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.

Since Javascript was enabled, in order to check whether this was a problem of Youtube’s site only, I browse to other sites that I know use flash tech to find that I was really unable to watch any Flash content. They all prompted me to download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. Continue reading “IE8 & ADOBE FLASH PLAYER FIX”

How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX control

http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html

Due to recent enhancements to the Adobe Flash Player installers, you can now remove the player only by using the Adobe Flash Player uninstaller. To remove Flash Player, simply download and run the appropriate uninstaller for your system using the steps below.

  1. Download the Adobe Flash Player uninstaller:
  2. Save the file to your system, choosing a location where you can find it (for example, your desktop). Macintosh users may need to open or unstuff the .hqx file.
  3. Quit ALL running applications, including all Internet Explorer or other browser windows, AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, or other Messengers. Check the Windows system tray carefully to make certain no applications are still in memory which might possibly use Flash Player.
  4. Run the uninstaller. This will remove Adobe Flash Player from all browsers on the system.

Note: The uninstaller cannot remove files currently in use.

If you have any instances of the player open in your web browsers, instant messaging clients, stand-alone SWFs, or projectors, then the uninstaller will complete but some files may not be deleted. If this occurs, then close all of your applications and run the uninstaller again to ensure that all files are removed.

Note: Internet Explorer users may have to reboot to clear all uninstalled Flash Player ActiveX control files. If you’re not certain, select the “Show Details” button in the Flash Player uninstaller. If there are any log lines that begin with “Delete on Reboot…” then you’ll need to reboot BEFORE running the Flash Player installer again.

Installing mcrypt – what to do to work with php

After a lot of research, as I couldn’t find answers on forums and other places. I found on sourceforge.net they released some rpm packages to integrate mcrypt and mhash with php.

First we need to install mcrypt and mhash as follows:

1) Install mcrypt & mhash
yum install mcrypt*
yum install mhash*

answer y to the question if matched your system (it should).

2) enable support for php. requires php-mcrypt and php-mhash packages:
yum install php-mcrypt*
yum install php-mhash*

If you get an error saying packages not signed (unsigned packages), do the following:
edit /etc/yum.conf
change:
gpgcheck=1 to gpgcheck=0

attemp step 2 again. Once completed change back yum.conf

Hope this helps and saves anybody else.

How do I change maximum attachment size in Horde?

Resolution

By default, PHP limits uploaded files size to 2 MB, and this limit applies to all PHP application including Webmail. Edit the following options in /etc/php.ini file on the Plesk server and set the values that match your needs, for example:

upload_max_filesize = 32M
post_max_size = 32M

Restart Apache after the php.ini file modification.

Also, maximum attached file size can be changed in Horde configuration. See “attach_size_limit” option in the /etc/psa-horde/imp/conf.php:

$conf[‘compose’][‘attach_size_limit’] = ‘0’;

Zero “attach_size_limit” value means ‘no limit’.

Additional information

Note that memory_limit should be larger than post_max_size.
If you insrease PHP parameter post_max_size do not forget to increase parameter memory_limit also.
