		<description><![CDATA[This may seem extremely trivial for many people out there.. but all it takes is a forgetful server admin.
I had an old box that needed reloading, so I had to reinstall the GD library for php using YUM.
# yum install php-gd

		<title>mail loops back to me (MX problem?) Local configuration error</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Although this is a frequently asked question which has many answers, I thought it should be addressed.
If you are not receiving mail from your server, grep through all the log files in your /var/spool/mail mailboxes.
# grep &#8220;MX&#8221; root
for example will output if you have had any of these errors reported back to root. (This only [...]]]></description>

		<title>etc/resolv.conf</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This file (/etc/resolv.conf) holds the config for the resolver in your dedicated box. Always make sure that you have the most recent nameservers listed in there without any lines reading &#8220;search domain.com&#8221; because that will slow things down.
It would be good practice to check with your dedicated hosting provider (datacenter) to always make sure they [...]]]></description>

		<title>Custom MySQL port and more</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Edit your /etc/my.cnfĂ‚Â  File and add something similar to this:
[mysqld]
user = mysql
pid-file = /var/lib/mysql/server.mysite.net.pid
socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
port = 3307
basedir = /usr
datadir = /var/lib/mysql
tmpdir = /tmp
language = /usr/share/mysql/english
bind-address = localhost
[/mysqld]
This will change the port to 3307, which is what I did. The other options are pretty much default, but they are included so you can alter [...]]]></description>
