How to open/view archived Outlook .PST and Data Files for all versions

Standard

I beleive this only works with Outlook 2007 and later.

To attach a data file to existing email/personal folders in Outlook:

Tools>Account Options/Settings>Data Files..
Find the one you want and check where it is located

Go to:
File>Open>Data file…
Navigate to directory that we found in the step above, select the data file (or .pst file) and and click open

This will load it on the left along with your personal folder and inboxes.

__________________________________________________________

If you are trying to do this on an earlier version of Outlook, there is another way to do this.

Go to Control Panel>Mail

Click the Data Files button

When the window pops up click on ‘Add…’

Navigate to directory that we found in window that popped up before, select the data file (or .pst file) and and click open

This should have the same result as above and is a bit quicker.

Manual PhpMyAdmin Installation

Standard
  1. Download the latest stable version of the PhpMyAdmin software.
  2. Extract the archive file on your computer. Then upload the extracted files and folders through an FTP Client.
  3. Place them at the exact location where you would like to access the software. If you want to open it directly through http://www.yourdomainname.com/PhpMyAdmin you should place the content of the extracted directory straight under the an appropriately named folder eg, PhpMyAdmin under your account. Substitute www.yourdomainname.com with your actual domain name.
  4. Request from your web hosting supplier a MySQL database, user name and password with sufficient privileges or use existing privilege
  5. Load the PhpMyAdmin page using the corresponding URL (for example http://www.yourdomainname.com/PhpMyAdmin, where you should substitute www.yourdomainname.com with your actual domain name).

  6. Enter the database username and the corresponding password. In this way you will be able to manage all the databases for which the database user has privileges. Click on the Go button to log in.

2. Browse to the location of your wanted PST file.

Make CENTOS mount NTFS

Standard

Download fuse & ntfs-3g.

Use Yum:

Prompt>yum install -y fuse ntfs-3g

Mount the partition:
[root@server1~]# mount.ntfs-3g /dev/sda9 /mnt/temp

This assumes /dev/sda9 is the NTFS partition and /mnt/temp is the place to mount it to.
