tzselectAnswer the 3 locations questions. Then create a symlink to your local time.

dateTime and date should now be properly set.
Alright... So APC has been pretty unstable for me on 2 separate servers running PHP 5.3.x and PHP 5.4.x. So I figured I'd give XCache a try after reading about similar problems with APC.
Anyhow...
Get the latest version of XCache from here: http://xcache.lighttpd.net/#Downloads
Latest version at the time of this writing is XCache 3.0.1
Say you have your Drupal's .htaccess set "To redirect all users to access the site WITH the 'www.' prefix", and you added a sub-domain, and it came out looking something like http://www.sub.domain.com. So, most people will NOT want the "www" added to the url in this case. So what do you do? Easy.
Use this instead:
After you successfully install memcached and pecl/memcached (memcached PHP support), you will next want take full advantage of it by enabling native support for memcached in magento.
NOTE: you must have memcached and pecl/memcached already installed. Otherwise your Magento installation will break if you try following this guide.
Ok... now that the warning is out the way. Here's how we do it...
Edit your local.xml
vi ./app/etc/local.xmlAdd the following between
A how-to on installing memcached with pecl/memcached on Linux.
UPDATE: See below, there's an easier way to do this. Plus DirectAdmin's way doesn't seem to be working through the 'Custom HTTPD Configurations' way.... So, just use the way listed below. It's much easier.
So, you're worried about accidentally wiping out your entire system or important directory by doing something like rm -rf / or rm -rf *
with safe-rm , it won't allow you to do that, you'll get something like:
$ rm -rf / Skipping /
Here's how to install:
cd /usr/local/src # get latest version here: http://www.safe-rm.org.nz/ wget http://launchpad.net/safe-rm/trunk/0.8/+download/safe-rm-0.8.tar.gz tar xvfz safe-rm-0.8.tar.gz cd safe-rm-0.8 # find out your $PATH; echo $PATH # most systems should include /usr/local/bin, if not then select any other listed cp /bin/rm /usr/local/bin/rm mv /bin/rm /bin/rm-01 cp safe-rm /bin/rm vi /etc/safe-rm.conf
if you try running the following:
phpizeand get this error

Cannot find autoconf. Please check your autoconf installation and the
$PHP_AUTOCONF environment variable. Then, rerun this script.
Then it's because you don't have autoconf installed.
To fix this error, do the following:
yum install autoconfor you can install from source (if you want to use the latest version)
cd /usr/local/src/
/* find latest version of m4 here: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/ */
To search for a text pattern in files in linux, do the following:

Whenever you do a database backup using phpMyAdmin, you are presented with a default file name structure for saves, usually like so:
__DB__
which basically gives you the name of the database you just backed up. Which is ok, however, most people would also like the date and time stamp included as well...
So...
This is how it's done... replace the above with :
__DB__-%F-%Tor for newer version of phpMyAdmin
@DATABASE@-%F-%T__DB__ = name of database Example: my_database
%F = Same as "%Y-%m-%d" (year-month-day) Example: 2009-11-25
%T = time stamp . (24 hour format, hour_minute_second) Example: 11_07_31
which will save a file with the naming structure similar to:
my_database-2009-11-25-11_07_31.sql
You can easily use other date/time structure, to suit your personal preference.

I seen where a lot of server management companies are charging big bucks for this, so this might save you some time and money.
First
# ifconfig eth1Â 192.168.10.12 netmask 255.255.255.0
# cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
Edit the NETMASK lines in the ifcfg-eth0* and in the ifcfg-eth1* files as required.
If email is not being received, but you're able to log in, it may be a permission's problem
(This may occur when restoring backup accounts)
# /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/set_permissions.sh email
If you're unable to su to root, even if inputing the correct password
