Comment on Creating a JSON-RPC server with Zend Framework by Jeremy Glover

Thanks for this post.

I’ve recently done something similar, but I’m trying to figure out how to handle errors for when calls are made with incorrect parameters. Currently my app throws a Zend_Json_Server_Error exception when there are missing parameters but doesn’t return it as a JSON-RPC response. Unfortunately it just spits the exception out as text.

Any thoughts about how to deal with this?

Comment on A Review of My Current VOIP Provider: Voice Network by Lawrence Jovellanos

I have been using Voicenetwork since 2007.

I use them for home, for SIP on my mobile phone, & for our business. Asterisk, Cisco box, AudioCodes, Sipura & Mediant ATAs,. Used all of them & I never had a problem.

At home or for business if you need to call 911, a cellphone from Rogers, Bell or Telus will work even those without activated lines. In the event of a power failure you won’t be able to use VoIP unless you have UPS & related gear stays running.

Comment on Configuring Zend Server CE in Ubuntu 9.10 on a Rackspace Cloud Server by John T. Clark

You are correct Z11Forwarding should be X11Forwarding. I have updated the post.

UseDNS and allow users can be added to the config file. They are not there by default.

I just randomly picked 54321. Most any 5 digit port should be fine as the goal is to discourage attackers from attacking by not using the standard SSH port. This of course does not prevent an attacker from simple scanning your IP for open ports.

Great tutorial, thanks. A couple questions (perhaps I’m a bit of a noob)…

It’s mainly around the adjustments to the ssh config file. First I don’t have reference to ‘z11forwarding’, is this a typo for ‘x11forwarding’ that I see? I also cannot see ‘useDNS’ or ‘allow users’.

Lastly, am I able to open any port I desire as a means of protection, or do you suggest 54321 for any particular reason aside from being memorable?
