  • Install Skype on Fedora 14 64-bit system

    Hi, I was struggling with Skype installation on Fedora 14 64-bit OS as it is widely used for the other applications supported. But when it comes to Skype, then you are left alone.

    After many tries, I was successful to install Skype on Fedora 14 64-bit OS. for this, I used old Skype 32-bit version. This is not available on official Skype website.

    1) First of all, we will install some packages required for Skype 32-bit.

    Make sure you are working as root user.

    yum install pulseaudio-libs.i686 pulseaudio-libs-devel.i686 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686 libv4l.i686 libXv.i686 libXv-devel.i686 libXScrnSaver.i686 libXScrnSaver.x86_64 libXScrnSaver-devel.i686 libXScrnSaver-devel.x86_64 qt.i686 qt-devel.i686

    2) Download Skype rpm from Fedora repo.

    3) Once download, install the rpm.

    yum --nogpgcheck localinstall skype-2.2.0.25-fedora.i586.rpm

    These really worked for me. I though faced some issues with dependencies resolution but no probs further.

    Hope, this helps ! 🙂

    The WHM cPanel web-hosting control panel is one of the widely used, user friendly control panel. For the users having their accounts, cPanel provided lots of options to control the web hosting account with great utilities.

    Follow the below steps to enable or disable users to update Awstats setting from cPanel

    Step 1:

    Login into the cPanel and go to the File Manager.

    Step 2:

    From file Manager, navigate to /home/username/tmp/awstats/ folder.

    Step 3:

    Edit the .conf file of your domain. Example - awastats.yourdomain.conf

    Note: If the domain is using SSL then navigate folder /home/username/tmp/awstats/ssl and update the .conf file.

    Step 4:

    Search for the string AllowToUpdateStatsFromBrowser and change the value from 0 to 1.

    AllowToUpdateStatsFromBrowser=1

    awstats update now

    Follow the below steps to enable or disable users to update Awstats setting from WHM.

    Step 1:

    Logging in the WHM control panel. 

    Step 2:

    Navigate to Home > Server Configuration > Tweak Settings > Stats and Logs.

    Step 3:

    Search for "Allows users to update AWstats from cPanel" option and select "On" to enable users to update Awstasts from cPanel.

    To disable, select "Off"  option to disable users from updating Awstats from cPanel.

    Step 4:

    Save the settings.

    Note: Enabling users to update Awastats from cPanel may increase server load. Also, normal users will not have access to WHM control panel as it is restricted to server administrators. Speak to your hosting provider in this case.

    Alternatively, the server administrator having root access can run following command to update Awstats of a particular user:

     /scripts/runweblogs [username]

    Where

    [username] is the cPanel username you wish to update.

    Hope this helps!
