Installed Apache 1.3.27 and PHP Accelerator. No noticeable speedup. Hmm.

More compilation tasks: Compile Apache with DSO support! And install the PHP Accelerator: http://www.php-accelerator.co.uk/

A new swish-e version has arrived which they say is faster. Indexing really looks faster, if I can trust my eyes?

The current Apache OpenSSL worm („Linux Slapper Worm“) checks the webserver version by reading the HTTP header before it attacks. Added „ServerTokens Prod“ to httpd.conf – now it says „Server: Apache“, was „Server: Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.8.10 OpenSSL/0.9.6“ before. (See the Apache documentation and FAQ.)

Downloaded the Adobe Generic Postscript printer driver as I thought I should be able to convert the .ps files into .pdf using ps2pdf under Linux. But the resulting PDF is absolutely ugly – images are missing, fonts don’t scale… Acrobat is expensive (> 300 €), Jaws PDF Creator is more than 100 € as well…

Somebody in the German PHP mailinglist recommended using fetchmail/procmail for fetching mails automatically from a POP3 server and putting their contents into a database. E-mail archiving through BCC:?

Sounds a little bit like XDD, but with a lot more features: http://gist.jrc.it/default/

Upgraded to Apache 1.3.26 / PHP 4.2.3.

XDD should move deleted records (including associated files) into a .trash directory.
