			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was getting this error and i had to surf the internet for 5 hours until i figured out the issue myself. I thought this might save others precious time. So the error i was getting in the server was looking like this:</p>
<p><em>Apr 16 18:47:20 vpn pluto[6294]: &#8220;test2&#8243; #1: probable authentication failure (mismatch of preshared secrets?): malformed payload in packet<br />
Apr 16 18:47:20 vpn pluto[6294]: | payload malformed after IV<br />
Apr 16 18:47:20 vpn pluto[6294]: |   b3 39 dc a6  a7 2a 59 0f  d9 06 4b 7f  4a ed 0f 7a<br />
Apr 16 18:47:20 vpn pluto[6294]: &#8220;test2&#8243; #1: sending notification PAYLOAD_MALFORMED to 81.141.210.226:500</em></p>
<p>On the client side i was getting:</p>
<p><em>010 &#8220;test2&#8243; #1: STATE_MAIN_I3: retransmission; will wait 40s for response<br />
003 &#8220;test2&#8243; #1: Informational Exchange message must be encrypted<br />
003 &#8220;test2&#8243; #1: discarding duplicate packet; already STATE_MAIN_I3<br />
031 &#8220;test2&#8243; #1: max number of retransmissions (2) reached STATE_MAIN_I3.  Possible authentication failure: no acceptable response to our first encrypted message</em></p>
<p>I made sure there are no typos in <strong>ipsec.secrets </strong> but in the end I figured out the issue.<br />
You have to have a <strong>new blank line after the PSK declaration in ipsec.secrets</strong> otherwise the system doesn&#8217;t recognize it. Hope it helps. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">As you probably know Adobe Flash Media Server comes with it&#8217;s own apache2.2. Now this is ok but, as in my case, you might want to use Adobe FMS with the apache installation provided by your linux distro ( debian in my case ).</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Now there are several reasons to do this: you might feel more confortable installing and setting up the apache from your linux distro, it&#8217;s a lot easier to install php support and other features in to the default provided apache using apt-get or yum. If you were to use FMS&#8217;s apache you had to install php by hand for example.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Setting up Adobe FMS with another apache is simple once you understand how things work. I&#8217;ll be very brief here ( if you want a more detailed explanation read here <a title="Adobe Flash Media Server 3.5" href="http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_TechOverview/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119ed944a1a-7ffa.html" target="_blank">http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_TechOverview/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119ed944a1a-7ffa.html</a> ).</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">When somebody wants to see a live broadcast or a video stream from your server it connects via http to your machine ( eg. http://www.example.com ) on port 80. He/she downloads a swf from your machine and the swf connects then to your machine on port 1935 ( the default RTMP port ) and creates a real time connection to your server.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Now when using a different Apache server, Adobe FMS should redirect incoming requests on port 80 to your own apache installation rather than it&#8217;s own. Because Adobe FMS listens on port 80 for HTTP and 1935 for RTMP your own apache has to listen to another port. In this case HTTP requests should proxied from port 80 to 8134 by  FMS.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Flash Media Server has the option to proxy http requests to another port / machine. If you have your apache on another machine you don&#8217;t need to change the default port for it. If the Apache resides on the same machine as the Adobe FMS you need to change the default port from 80 to 8134 like I explained before.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Enable proxy-ing in <strong>fms.ini -&gt; HTTPPROXY.HOST = :8134 </strong>( this proxy-ies incoming http requestso to the same machine on port 8134.)</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Setup <strong>apache </strong>to listen on port <strong>8134</strong> and you&#8217;re done.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have the following setup. The Host machine is running Windows Vista 64 with VirtualBox.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve installed Debian Lenny 5.0 from a NetCD and now i want to install the guest additions modules. The guest additions are very useful because they have a lot of usability features like: copy-ing/pasting from the guest system to the host sistem, you can fly the mouse pointer in and out of the guest system and so on.</p>
<p>On the VirtualBox menu go to Devices and click Install Guest Additions. This will mount a virtual cd in your linux guest system. Go to your cd-rom ( which also has the guest additions for windows ) :</p>
<p><strong>cd /cdrom</strong> and run <strong>./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run</strong>.</p>
<p>You might get an error about installing linux kernel headers and build packages. That can easily be solved by using apt-get :</p>
<p><strong>apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`</strong></p>
<p>the &#8216;uname -r&#8217; will autocomplete the kernel needed kernel version.</p>
<p>After this rerun the <strong>./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run </strong>and it should all go well. Reboot the debian system and enjoy the magical guest additions.</p>
