I wanted to know the reason behind the closure of this question. The reason states the question is off-topic which surprises me because I happened to read a pretty similar question again in server fault over here. The second question doesn't even have an accepted answer but it is still left open. I have asked a perfectly valid question according to the site rules and even have accepted the answer.

I do accept my second question in this site was not fitting the rules of site. However, I want to know why is my first question closed. The rules of the site clearly says,

However, if your motivation is “I would like others to explain ______ to me”, then you are probably OK.

So, could someone please explain why my first question is closed as off topic?
