Today we encountered a problem on one of our servers. Phpmyadmin did not want to launch and our customers had difficulties logging in to our application.
After some research, I found that the problem lies in the /var/log folder.
Just get rid of all unneeded .gz / .bz2 files and the issue should be resolved.
Also, we have put on our to do list : check why on earth we are creating that many log files 
Playing inline audio and video files in Drupal 7 can be quite some hassle… The SWF tools are not available for D7, so we have to solve this issue otherwise.
There are several modules out there that promise a lot of things, but not really live up to it…
Here’s a solution that worked great for me:
MediaElements module! It brings the MediaElement.js html5 player plugin to Drupal.
Files to download:
1. MediaElements module: download, extract and upload into sites/all/modules/contrib & of course activate in admin/modules
2. Libraries API module: download, extract and upload into sites/all/modules/contrib & of course activate in admin/modules
3. MediaElement.js: download, extract, rename into ‘mediaelement’ and upload into sites/all/libraries
And you’re set to go!
Now you can add a filefield to your content type, and in the display settings change the default ‘generic file’ into MediaElement Audio or MediaElement Video.
You can also tweak your appearance and set the height and the width for your default display, full node, or teaser.
The great advantage of MediaElements is that it outputs HTML that can easily be styled with CSS!

Setting up a new D7 multiligual site, I experienced problems with my site config home page settings.
After configuring the site’s languages (english & dutch) and the setting the proper language prefixes,
drupal didn’t want to recognize that there where different fontpages for each language.
Solution:
Go to ‘admin/config/regional/i18n/variable’ and tick this option
| Default front page |
The home page displays content from this relative URL. If unsure, specify “node”. |
If you go to ‘admin/config/system/site-information’ now, you will see that in the info below the homepage url,
now there’s marked: ‘This is a multilingual variable.‘
Now you can set you homepage for each language (first browse to your page content in that specific language and than go to the site information).
