Install Dropbox in fedora

Dropbox is the easiest way to store, sync, and, share files on-line and has no complicated interface to learn. I downloaded its rpm package and run command "rpm -ivh package-name"
it successfully install without any error only so one warning (We don't care about warning ). At that time i thought dropbox installed in my system and i can sync my folder but when i opened dropbox and click on splash screen, it show me following error.

Shit i did not get any preference window for set proxy so now time to google. I googled this problem around 1:30 hour and ask my friend also but at last i got a blog in which that person
upload a tar file. That tar file contain all the file which dropbox download from the net and make a .dropbox-dist folder in your home directory.

Installation steps :

1. Download dropbox rpm from its main site and install it using command "rpm -ivh package-name"
2. Download off-line file from here .
3. Extract the off-line file and its extracted name ".dropbox-dist" so it is a hidden folder you press "CTRL+H" for see that folder and copy or cut it, then paste it in your home folder as same extension. DON'T RENAME IT.
4. Now you create a dropbox account from here .
5. Now go to Application -> internet -> dropbox , now a dropbox icon is appear on your panel right click and first set proxy if you are under proxy server.

Congrats you install dropbox successfully.

GAxel

In this summer i started a OpenSource project GAxel (GUI-Axel). It is a front end of Axel (A light weight command line download accelerator for cross platform) and its source code is written in C++ using QT library. I made a logo for it as same its name and create a wiki page also.
So now i tell you how to install this simple software -

Dependencies
1. You have installed Axel in your system otherwise its not work.
2. If you want compile the source code then you need qt library in your system.
Installation
1. Download source code form sourceforge. You can use Subversion for getting software files here is command " svn co https://gaxel.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gaxel gaxel "
2. Extract the tarball after that you get source files and ReadMe file please go through ReadMe once.
3. There is a install.sh file you open your terminal and and execute this file using "./install.sh"
4. Logout from your user account and login again.
5. Now GAxel is installed in you system you can run using command "gaxel".

If anyone of you join this project you feel free to contact me we have some more thing to implement i mention those in TODO list. If you use software and stuck with some error Please let me know i will be happy if someone post some bug in software.

httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using localhost.localdomain for ServerName

When i start my Apache server it show me error as i mention in title so i start googly for understand the reason behind it and at last i got results which i share with you may be it will also help for you when you getting same error.

Steps :

1. First you search where is your httpd.conf file (In fedora its path is /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf)
2. Open your httpd.conf file in your favourite editor (Like i opened in vim its my favourite)
3. Search for "ServerName http://example.com" previously it is commented you uncomment it and set your ServerName in place of "http://example.com" (like i am using my localhost server so i set it localhost)
4. Start your httpd service using command "service httpd start" or if it is already running then restart it using command "service httpd restart". Now you not see this error ....enjoy.
