I just did a fresh install of AMP and the first php app I installed gave me the following error.
Warning: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system’s timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected ‘UTC’ for ‘UTC/0.0/no DST’
It turned out to be a quick fix.
First go to this page and find the syntax for your timezone.
http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
Once you have this edit your php.ini file and add the following to it
(If you are using a distro ini search for date to find the example)
date.timezone = “America/New_York”
Exchange the proper timezone for your region

How to enable remote syslog on centos and store data coming in from
one or more devices on your centos machine.
Changes on the centos machine you want to receive syslog data:
(Turn on remote syslog service)
/etc/sysconfig/syslog
Change:
SYSLOGD_OPTIONS=”-m 0″
To:
SYSLOGD_OPTIONS=”-r -x m 0″
Set up permissions for each device you want to accept data from
edit
/etc/syslog.conf
Add:
+ip.of.device.1
local7.* /var/log/switch1.log
+ip.of.device.2
local7.* /var/log/switch2.log
# The plus in front of the IP indicates its a remote device.
# You can have as many devices you want log to the same file. The
entries are prefixed by thier IP or Hostname
# You can use host names if you want, they just need to be able to resolve.
# One last note, I think centos needs tabs in syslog.conf to separate columns not spaces.

I happen to manage a mail server with roughly 6000 accounts on it and my personal email address has been live now for roughly 13 years. I post to technical forums on the net so my address has been harvested a lot throughout the years.
We use a mailfoundry appliance and the spamcop RBL to help combat spam.
Both of these allow spam submissions to help stop new outbreaks.
More and more I am reporting spam to google for gmail accounts. At least
10+ a day. This is stuff that is making it past mailfoundry + spamcop and 2 more RBLS.
I expect google to be better than this at this point. They have the resources and technology.
Data might be data, but spam is annoying!

follow these steps:
1. Start ->Run-> regedit
2. Copy the GUID following the CLSID above
3. In the registry editor, ensure that your cursor is on the computer at the beginning of the tree
4. From the menu, Edit->Find, paste in the GUID. It’ll stop at the application entry – and you will want to note the application name on the right side pane. In this example, it was the IIS WAMREG admin service that popped up.
5. Start–>Administrative Tools–>Component Services
6. Expand Component Services, Computers, My Computer, DCOM Config. Scroll down and find the application (IIS WAMREG in this case)
7. Right-click on IIS WAMREG Server, select Properties and select the Security tab
8. Launch and Activation Permissions, ensure that the Customize radio button is selected, and click Edit
9. Add your service account, giving it launch and activate and in some requirements – remote launch / activate permission
10. Restart IIS and continue on
