Windows server 2003 applying a group policy pushing proxy settings out to clients per username.  Stopped working and tried everything.  For us it was the entries in the exceptions list of  “Do not use proxy server for addresses beginning with”.  I cleared out all the entries and reran a gpupdate /force and now the proxy settings show up.  Going to have to add one at time and see what entry was causing it to fail.  The following is a link to what helped solve my issue -     http://forums.techarena.in/active-directory/1202115.htm

We’re new with cPanel, not sure if I like it yet, but just wanted to post my experience with moving a site from a standard LAMP stack server with a custom php config and no control panel to a cPanel server.  We needed to increase the media upload limit for this site over the 5m that is set for the server in general.

First thing I learned, cPanel does not run php as a Apache module, so the current method of using a .htaccess file in the root folder of the site is just ignored when using a <IfModule mod_php5.c> directive or  brings down the site if you are not… since php is not running as an apache module, it just ends up being a bad config.

First, make sure you have cPanel using suphp as the php handler, confirm by looking here:

Service Configuration >> Apache Configuration >> PHP and SuExec Configuration

So, my existing .htacces looked like this:

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
 php_value upload_max_filesize 170M
 php_value post_max_size 170M
</IfModule>

What you need to do is replace that with a php.ini file that looks like this:

upload_max_filesize = 170M
post_max_size = 170M

But you’re not done… I had to put a copy of this in both the root of the site and the wp-admin folder for it to work… I also read that some people had to put it into the actual folder in the wp-content folder to get it to work…

So, hopefully this will save somebody some time…
