A very annoying thing in Windows 2008 R2 is the Internet Explorer’s error: “content from the website listed below is being blocked by the internet explorer enhanced security configuration“.
Ok now, but how do we disable this security setting ? ( it is called Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration – IE ESC ).
FOR WINDOWS 2008:
1. If you have it enabled, or freshly installed the Windows 2008, you will get this error:
2. Go to Start / Administrative Tools / Server Manager:
3. Click on Server Manager / Expand the Security Information Section / click on Configure IE ESC:
4. Turn OFF the IE ESC ( for Administrators / for Users / or for both, depending of your scenario ):
FOR WINDOWS 2003:
1. Close all Internet explorers
2. Open Control Panel
3. Go to ADD or Remove Programs
4. Click on Add/Remove Windows Components
5. Uncheck the checkbox named Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration / click NEXT
6. You’re done, and you can now open a IE.

B. Make sure the Include Windows logon domain check box is unchecked in the Options tab of the dial-up connection’s Properties dialog box.
C. Make sure the dial-up connection’s security option is correctly configured to use the Require secured password setting.
D. Delete all of the *.pwl files and reboot if you are using win9x.
E. Try another logon ID or create a new Logon ID because the profile may be damaged.

Problem: WordPress admin pages get a “500 Internal Server Error”
Why? PHP is running out of memory.
Solution: If you are running your own root, dedicated or virtual server this is an easy bugfix: You just have to change the php.ini of your server and provide more memory to your PHP installation. On a shared hosting server – like 1and1 you don’t have access to that central php.ini. But there is an easy workaround:
Create a text file and name it “php.ini” (without the quotes ) and with a single line of code in it:
memory=20M
This file has to be placed into the directory /wp-admin/ within your WordPress installation.
Enjoy !
