ratelimit database not available : exim error
2008-02-12 19:08:41 Failed to get write lock for /var/spool/exim/db/ratelimit.lockfile: timed out
2008-02-12 19:08:41 H=[xx.xx.xx.xx] temporarily rejected connection in “connect” ACL: ratelimit database not available
To fix such an error , the exim cache database on the server side needs to be clear off to stop this message.
Run the folllowing command on root :
root@host [~]# rm -fv /var/spool/exim/db/*
Output :
removed `/var/spool/exim/db/ratelimit’
removed `/var/spool/exim/db/ratelimit.lockfile’
removed `/var/spool/exim/db/retry’
removed `/var/spool/exim/db/retry.lockfile’
removed `/var/spool/exim/db/wait-dk_remote_smtp’
removed `/var/spool/exim/db/wait-dk_remote_smtp.lockfile’
removed `/var/spool/exim/db/wait-remote_smtp’
removed `/var/spool/exim/db/wait-remote_smtp.lockfile’
root@host [~]# service exim restart
If this doesn’t work , then run /scripts/upcp –force on the server and then check exim_mainlog for the changes.

How to redirect blogpost using permalinks in Wordpress.
Some permalinks look very much like they have /index.php inserted before them.Following is the example for it :
http://www.solsearch.net/index.php/xyz/abc/post/
You can simply redirect such links without displaying /index.php using mod_rewrite rule.Edit your .htaccess and place the following rules :
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Save changes.

What is mean by Domain Name ?
In computing and telecommunication in general, a domain is a sphere of knowledge identified by a name.The term domain name has multiple related meanings:
- A Domain Name is a unique name that you choose for your web site. All websites are identified only by their names called as domain names.
- A name that identifies a computer or computers on the Internet. These names appear as a component of a Web site’s URL, e.g. solsearch.net. This type of domain name is also called a hostname.
- The product that domain name registrars provide to their customers. These names are often called registered domain names.
- They are referred as “web addresses”.
Domain registration is available to the public via various registrars. Fees and services vary from company to company, but the process is generally inexpensive. Before a domain registration can be approved, the new name must be checked against existing names in the DNS database. The online registrar provides a field into which you can enter your desired name and extension that is, the letters that come after the dot (.) . Familiar hierarchies (extensions) are .com, .net, .org, .name, .info and .biz. If the name is not already taken, it is available for domain registration.
