Okay so if you have an external drive with NTFS and you mount it on your Mac; you will have only READ access. To get a READ/WRITE access you need to install MacFUSE. Using MacFUSE you can extent the native file handling support and using 3rd party software you can have support for a number of different filesystems. It also comes with SDKs which will allow you to write custom sw on top of MacFUSE

Some cases arise when we want to upgrade php and we do not want to affect any dependencies it has. Obviously we can use YUM for this ;) The step below will upgrade your php with all it dependencies to latest version. We have 5.3.1 at the moment. To install PHP 5.3.1 (latest version) you can make use of a RPM repository maintained by Remi. We will cover here for ES5 stuff. So first of all

There is a version of PHP (5.2.10) in CentOS’s Testing repository. You could either download each rpm and install, or set up your yum to install from the testing repository. Install the testing repository’s GPG key: rpm --import http://dev.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-testing And download the CentOS-Testing repo file: cd /etc/yum.repos.d wget http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/

To update Joomla Admin password, you need to run the following SQL query:UPDATE `jos_users` SET `password` = md5('PASSWORD HERE') WHERE `jos_users`.`id` =62 LIMIT 1This will simply update the password of user admin.

CentOS, Fedora comes with a really good tool YUM.yum is a software package manager. It is a tool for installing, updating, and removing packages and their dependencies on RPM-based systems. It automatically computes dependencies and figures out what things should occur to install packages. It makes it easier to maintain groups of machines without having to manually update each one using rpm. So

 I found a few other tutorials about SSH to iphone using USB cable. A few of them work but some guys are having problems.

As described by many others you will obviously need iTunnel to make connection.

This is about posting some data to a page via cURL. We already know the other and common method to post data, i.e. using a form and setting its method to POST. Sometimes we need to POST data using php without any form.
