2013-09-24T00:19:00.000-07:00

Magento admin can't able to login after installtion,

Please follow the below simple steps,

1 - Go to www or htdocs folder
2 - Go through this directory /app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Session/Abstract/Varien.php under Magento Installtion Dir
3 - Open with your editior, go to the 108 line
4 - Comment the followng line and try it
call_user_func_array('session_set_cookie_params', $cookieParams); - /*call_user_func_array('session_set_cookie_params', $cookieParams);*/

Now try with Login, still problem exits.

Please go to line from 85 to 92 in magento (1.7.2 for my case). Like this

// session cookie params
/* $cookieParams = array(
'lifetime' => $cookie->getLifetime(),
'path' => $cookie->getPath(),
'domain' => $cookie->getConfigDomain(),
'secure' => $cookie->isSecure(),
'httponly' => $cookie->getHttponly()
);
*/

5 - Hopefully you can login with your Magento. Let me know still if you have any issues.

How to Connect PHP with SQL Server from Windows Env using SQLSRV?

2013-07-18T07:03:00.000-07:00

Here we are going to install SQLSRV Driver and configure with PHP,

1 - Before Start, Run phpinfo() from your localhost/server, and find your System bit (x86/x64). From my research SQLSRV will work only on Wamp2.2 and x86 Env.
2 - Now open your wamp php.ini, and enter below lines under extension section,
    extension=php_sqlsrv_52_nts.dll;
    extension=php_sqlsrv_52_ts_vc6.dll;
3 - Then download SQLSRV driver from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20098
4 - Run SQLSRV driver and enter your original PHP ext path(E:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.13\ext) also please make sure the same path given in php.ini file(;extension_dir = "ext"
extension_dir = "e:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.13/ext/")
5 - Once you successfully installed SQLSRV, please make sure the above given dll files loaded under above PATH.
6 - Its time to restart your wamp server(several times if needed)
7 - Now check with phpinfo(), sqlsrv should be list in your phpinfo information
8 - Then Finally you must download SQLCLIENT for SQLSRV driver from
SQL Server Native Clients are here:
SQL 2012
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=29065
SQL 2008 R2
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=16978
SQL 2005
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=20101

9 - Finally try with below codes from your PHP to test with PHP SQLSRV driver,

$dbhost = "servername";
$user = "sq";
$pwd="xxxx";

$link = sqlsrv_connect($dbhost, $user, $pwd);
if($link === FALSE) {
    echo 'Could not connect';
    die('Could not connect: ' . sqlsrv_errors(SQLSRV_ERR_ALL));
}
echo 'Successful connection';
sqlsrv_close($link);
?>

10. Now your Wamp server start to work with SQLSRV driver.

Configure PHP with MSSQL connectivity

2013-07-17T05:26:00.000-07:00

To connect PHP to MSSQL, Please check with below stpes

1. Enable php_mssql.dll in PHP.INI (Throw WAMP services ICON)

2. Copy the php_mssql.dll into PHP 5.3.x/ext.

3. Copy ntwdblib.dll and MSVCR71.dll into sysWOW64 folder.

4. Restart WAMP, Restart system also good advice.

Note:

1. Below CMD steps to check the required MSSQL DLL loaded or not. if the below command does not return anything, then PHP, MSSQL installation is success. if it return some alert with missing DLL message, then download that DLL and push into system32/ sysWOW64 folder.

execute this command in command prompt, make sure you should be inside the wamp/bin/php/php5.x.x/ext )

php -d extension_dir=ext -d extension=php_mssql.dll -d extension=C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.17\bin –m

How to Install Cassandra and Configure Cassandra on your windows?

2012-09-28T00:01:00.002-07:00

Install Cassandra and Configure Cassandra on your windows Step by Step

First we must download Cassandra from the Apache Cassandra Source.

Now unzip the file and put it into a drive where you want to store your Cassandra.you can change the folder name cause deafult name is "apache-cassandra-0.5.1".

Its to long to remember easily.So i moved and changed unzip folder name to "E:\cassandra".

Now we have our Cassandra in a spacific drive. Lets go install and configure Cassandra database on windows XP / Windows 7.

Before moving to CASSANDRA Installation,

We must be installed and value of the environment variable “JAVA_HOME” must be set to its JRE Directory. Please follow the below steps to Complete CASSANDRA Installation & Configurations

If you already setup JAVA_HOME Variable on your system, Please skip Step 1.

Step 1 : To Step up JAVA_HOME Variable on your System, Please visit this Setting JAVA_HOME Environment Variable

Step 2 : Create three New Folders anyware(inside the E:\cassandra/new folder or out of the E:\cassandra) your in your directory structure with names commitlog, data, saved cache

Step 3: Go to Cassandraa extracted archive and navigate to folder named “conf”
Step 4: Open the file named “cassandra.yaml” in your favorite text editor.
Step 5: In the “Cassandra.yaml” Set the values of

“data_file_directories” to the path of newly created “data” folder.
“commitlog_directory” to the path of newly created “commitlog” folder.
“saved_caches_directory” to the path of newly created “saved cache” folder.

So my values in “cassandra.yaml” look like this:

# directories where Cassandra should store data on disk.
data_file_directories:
- E:\cassandra\storage\data
# commit log
commitlog_directory: E:\cassandra\storage\commitlog
# saved caches
saved_caches_directory: E:\cassandra\storage\savedcaches

Step 6: Add new environment variable “CASSANDRA_HOME” and set its value to the path of your Cassandra folder (Follow the Step 1)

Step 7: Open cmd and navigate to the bin in your “Cassandra” folder and type cassandra -f as like below

E:\cassandra\bin>cassandra -f

Setting JAVA_HOME Environment Variable

How to Setting the JAVA_HOME Variable in Windows 7

2012-09-27T23:03:00.000-07:00

Setting JAVA_HOME Environment Variable in Windows 7

Before start this Chapter, you must have JAVA on your system. Please visit JAVA Installation and let begin with following chapter.

To set environment variables to enable the compilation and execution of Java applications from the command line (command prompt) or byusing an IDE like Eclipse. By installing the Java SDK, system variables about the location of executables (compiler, java virtual machine) are not defined or initialized automatically.

Testing is done by opening command prompt (Start -> cmd) and trying to launch the compiler with the command, If there is no system variable to indicate where to look for the this executable, the system will give an error like below screen

The Below steps are the solution to this problem is given by setting the system variables: JAVA_HOME, PATH and CLASSPATH:

Step 1: Go to the Control Panel -> System; and Click on Advanced System Settings

Step 3: From the above box, select the Environment Variables. and then select New and enter JAVA_HOME and enter the correct variable Path as like below screens

Step 5: Create a new system variable named, CLASSPATH as like above box, and its value %JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib

Stpe 6: For PATH, if it already exists, select it and choose the Edit option; in the editor add the value;%JAVA_HOME%\bin (the new values are separated by a semicolon from the existing ones)

To check the system variables is done by opening a new command prompt window (Start -> cmd) and try with following commands.

C:\Users\Catalin>echo %CLASSPATH%

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_16\jre\lib

C:\Users\Catalin>echo %JAVA_HOME%

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_16

C:\Users\Catalin>echo %PATH%

Step 7: To make your system know of these changes, Restart your computer and can play with as you needed.

Cassandra and Cassandra Data Model Step by Step Guides

2012-09-26T04:30:00.000-07:00

This article contains Quick and Easy tour of Cassandra database system and how to install Cassandra on your local windows system.

What is Apache Cassandra?

Apache Cassandra is an open source, distributed, decentralized, elastically scalable, highly available, fault-tolerant, tuneably consistent, column-oriented database that bases its distribution design on Amazon’s Dynamo and its data model on Google’s Bigtable. Created at Facebook, it is now used at some of the most popular sites on the Web.

It doesn’t use SQL and optimized to high scale size of data & transaction handling. Even though Cassandra is implemented with Java language, other language can use the Cassandra as a client. (It supports Ruby,Perl,Python,Scala,PHP etc).

It doesn’t support complex relationship like Foreign Key. It just provides Key & Value relationship like Java Hashmap. It is very easy to install and use like other Database systems.

Understanding the Cassandra Data Model

The Cassandra data model is a schema-optional, Key space, column-oriented data model. unlike a relational database, you do not need to model all of the columns required by your application up front, as each row is not required to have the same set of columns. Columns and their metadata can be added by your application as they are needed without incurring downtime to your application.

Although it is natural to want to compare the Cassandra data model to a relational database, they are really quite different. In a relational database, data is stored in tables and the tables comprising an application are typically related to each other. Data is usually normalized to reduce redundant entries, and tables are joined on common keys to satisfy a given query.

Who Uses Cassandra:

To get a fair idea of the power of Cassandra I think I must share with you some of the Users of Cassandra. Here is the list

• Facebook
• Digg
• Twitter
• IBM
• Redit
• App Scale

Let’s look at Cassandra data model

Data Model

KeySpace

Cassandra is based on google big table data model. It is called “Column DB”. It is totally different from traditional RDBMS.

In Cassandra, the keyspace is the container for your application data, similar to a schema in a relational database. Keyspaces are used to group column families together. Typically, a cluster has one keyspace per application.

Columns

The column similar to a table row in the relational database management system. it contains KEY, which acts as a Unique data for the each row of the Column. also contains name and value pair on each row.

Column Family

When comparing Cassandra to a relational database, the column family is similar to a table in that it is a container for columns and rows.

In a relational database, you define tables, which have defined columns. The table defines the column names and their data types, and the client application then supplies rows conforming to that schema: each row contains the same fixed set of columns.

In Cassandra, you define column families. Column families can (and should) define metadata about the columns, but the actual columns that make up a row are determined by the client application. Each row can have a different set of columns.Although column families are very flexible, not entirely schema-less.

ex: phpcms = { article:”Cassandra” , chapter:”understanding about cassandra”}

phpcms is key for the row, and the row has two columns. Keys of the columns are “emailAddress” and “age”. Each column value is ”Cassandra” and "understanding about cassandra".

Let’s look at Column Family which has a number of different rows.

UserProfile={
phpcms = { article:”Cassandra” , chapter:”understanding about cassandra”}
TerryCho= { emailAddress:”terry.cho@apache.org” , gender:”male”}
Cath= { emailAddress:”cath@apache.org” , age:”20”,gender:”female”,address:”Seoul”}
}

There are two typical column family design patterns in Cassandra; the static and dynamic column families.

Super Column & Super Column Family

Here column value can have a column itself. (Similar to Java Hashtable can have ValueObject class as a ‘Object’ type)

{name:”username”
value: firstname{name:”firstname”,value=”PHP”}
value: lastname{name:”lastname”,value=”CMS”}
}

As a same way column family also can have column family like this

UserList={
KRISH:{
username:{firstname:”Jhom”,lastname:”Yoon”}
address:{city:”Seoul”,postcode:”1234”}
}
JAMES:{
username:{firstname:”Terry”,lastname:”Cho”}
account:{bank:”hana”,accounted:”1234”}
}
}

UserList column family has two rows with key “KRISH” and “JAMES”. Each of the “KRISH” and “JAMES” row has two column families – “KRISH” row has “username” and “address’ column family, “JAMES” row has “username” and “account” column family.

You have learned basic things about Cassandra and Cassandra Data Model, now lets begin with Installation and Play with keyspaces, Columnfamilies, Columns.

Create Custom Joomla Module

Create a Custom Joomla 2.5 Module step by step guide

2012-09-21T02:51:00.003-07:00

The focus of this course, is to Create a Custom Joomla 2.5 Module step by step guides. I hope You have already learned Joomla Installation , Create a Joomla Hello world Components from this blogs. Let we start our new Joomla CMS Custom Module Course Here,

There is a defined folder structure for Joomla extension. Create the files and folders as per the below using your code editor.

Create the main folder which will be called "mod_siteusers". Then create the files/folders below.

Important: As per the Joomla extension, the mod_siteusers folder needs to be in your Joomla sites "Modules" folder BUT do not put it there yet because we need to create everything first then pack it in a zip file to install via Joomla admin area.

below the file strcture need to be create for out Joomla Module (mod_siteusers)

-mod_siteusers.xml
-mod_siteusers.php
-helper.php
-index.html
--tmpl (folder)
--tmpl/default.php
--tmpl/ordered_list.php
--tmpl/index.html

Okay, lets begin with carefully

mod_siteusers.xml

This file holds all of the modules metadata, information and parameters. The file structure must be exact.

type="list"
default="default"
label="LABEL_USER_LAYOUT"
description="DESC_USER_LAYOUT">

value="default">Unordered List

value="ordered_list">Ordered List

you can update with your own personal info on " tags.

These are the parameters that are on the right hand side when viewing your module in modlue manager. Here we have 4.

The first is the "module class suffix" which all modules have. The suffix the user adds here will be attached to the modules css class so you can style individual modules. The second is just a simple "spacer". The third is the number of users you wish to display in the module and finally, the fourth is the layout option.

You can have multiple layouts for one module. Each layout should go in the tmpl folder. Our 2 options here is the default, which is an unordered list with the "Website Users" description at the top. The ordered_list layout uses a numbered list and no description at the top. The changes are very subtle but I just wanted to show you a simple example.

Another thing you might be looking at is the uppercase constants like "LABEL_USER_COUNT". These are used with the language file that will be included later.

mod_siteusers.php

This file acts as a controller directing the functions and files

helper.php

This file runs the main function (getItems). This function gets the users from the database using a specified query. Joomla has a very specific syntax for interacting with the database. You can read all about it here. The code above instantiates a database object, puts the query in a variable called $query, runs the query and returns the $items as an array. The query is self explanatory. It will select the id and the username from the users table and it will be limited buy $usercount which we specify in mod_siteusers.xml. This query will be used to loop through the array of users in default.php (view file).

index.html

This html file is strictly used to prevent users from accessing the module files directly

tmpl/default.php

The default.php file is the modules "default view". It is in charge of displaying the module to the user. It is essentially html with php includes and loops. This file performs a foreach loop to diaplay the $rows array which is the array of users.

tmpl/ordered_list.php

This is the "ordered list" layout. As stated above, the only difference is that it uses a numbered list and has no description parameter.

tmpl/index.html

Same as above, it is used to prevent users from accessing the module files directly

Now that all of your files are created, add the entire "mod_siteusers" folder to a zip file using whatever zip program you use (winzip, winrar, 7zip, etc).

Congrats! Your first Joomla module is complete.Lets Start your Work on Admin Panel

Login to your Joomla admin area and goto the extension manager. From the "install" seciton, browse and upload the zip file. You should get a "Successful Install" message.

Now go to the "Module Manager" and you should see your module. click on the title. Now you should see the properties of the module. You should see all your parameters on the right hand side. You can change the number of users to be displayed as well as the layout. Now make sure it is published and use the desired module position in your template.

Visit your frontend and you should see a list of your website users.

Congratulations, you have successfully Completed Create a Custom Joomla 2.5 Module Course, Now you can play around with Joomla Custom Modules..to know more about Drupal and other PHP related CMS, subscribe with us...

Create a Simple Form in Druapl 7.x - Step by Step Guide

2012-09-17T04:51:00.001-07:00

In the Last posts, we have discussed more about create a Hello World Module and Create a content in Drupal 7.x. now we are going to learn and Create a Simple Form in Drupal 7.x step by step.

Before start works, you must know How does it work? Drupal has several built in Form functions, that deal with building and rendering your forms, and all you have to do is provide an array of information to the build functions. In this case, we build the form array, then return it.

When we call drupal_get_form, we pass the name of the function that returns the form, and Drupal does the rest.

Here the form array is
$form = array();

Lets begin your simple form,

Step 1: Creating the module structure
The first step in creating the module is to create a folder for the module. You should put this in "sites/all/modules/{name of your module}."
do not forget to replace the {name of your module} with name of your module.

For example, we will use the module directory "sites/all/modules/example."

Creates TWO files as like below,

"{name of your module}.module", "{name of your module}.info".

Step 2: The .info file contains information about what your module does, while the .module file contains the actual code including hooks.

Hooks are functions with special names that will be called by Drupal when actions occur. For example "example_form_menu()" is called when menu information is gathered.

In many examples, you will see names such as "hook_menu()" or "my_theme_menu()" and in these cases "my_theme" and "hook" should be replaced by the name of your module or theme.

example.info

Step 3: Here is the code of your example_form.module file. This will create a very basic form that only has one field and submit button.

Note: Do not include the last "?>" part of the PHP code and leave a trailing blank line at the end of the file. This is the Drupal standard.

It is important to note that the function takes the inputs $form, and a reference &$form_state. This function will be called when Drupal tries to build your form.

The process for creating a form is mainly two steps. The first is to build an associative array $form that contains all the fields. The second step is to return that $form variable.

To add a field, you set the variable $form[{name of your field}] = array(); Each field can then have a number of attributes, such as "#type" and "#value." Most of these attributes are named with a proceeding "#" sign.

Step 4: What to do when your form is submitted?
From this point, you will want to either save the form data, send an email, or display some information. That is beyond the scope of this How To at this point.

Now your simple form module is ready to use, upload into your

sites/all/modules/{your_module_dir}

Go to the Admin modules section, enable it and try with

http://yoursite.com/{your-module-name} here http://yoursite.com/example

Congratulation, you have successfully created a simple custom form in drupal 7.x. to know more about Drupal and other PHP related CMS, subscribe with us...

How to Create a Content in Drupal 7.x?

Creating a content for your drupal site is at the core of any Content Management System. The primary changes for Drupal 7 relate to an updated interface. Let's look at the new interface in detail.

To create content in Drupal 7,

Step 1 : First log in to your site using below screen and enter the provided admin credentials.

Step 2: Once you entered in admin screen, Click on Content from the site toolbar.it will displays the existing content on this page.

Step 3: From here, click on the Add new content link. Drupal will now display a page allowing you to select the type of content you want to create. you will have different content types available.

If your page cotains like stories with lot of images, then you can go with Article page type,
if the page is ordinary you may continue with Basic page type.

Now select the type of content you want to create. For this example, we will use the Basic page type.

Step 4: Create Content :

Plain Text,Filtered HTML, and Full HTML formats. If you enable the PHP filter module, you will also have access to the PHP code text format.

Below the text format, you will find a set of vertical tabs containing all of the optional properties you can apply to your new node:

Create a Joomla Hello World Component - Step by Step Guides

2012-09-14T03:13:00.000-07:00

Here we are going to try to write the program code for Joomla simplest component. Hopefully, after you follow this course, you have better understanding the Joomla! programming structure and Joomla Component.

Create a Simple Component :

There are four basic files that are used in the standard pattern of module development:

mod_helloworld.php - This file is the main entry point for the module. It will perform any necessary initialization routines, call helper routines to collect any necessary data, and include the template which will display the module output.

mod_helloworld.xml - This file contains information about the module. It defines the files that need to be installed by the Joomla! installer and specifies configuration parameters for the module.

helper.php - This file contains the helper class which is used to do the actual work in retrieving the information to be displayed in the module (usually from the database or some other source).

tmpl/default.php - This is the module template. This file will take the data collected by mod_helloworld.php and generate the HTML to be displayed on the page.

Right now you can below steps to create a simple component.

Creating mod_helloworld.php

The mod_helloworld.php file will perform three tasks:

include the helper.php file which contains the class to be used to collect the necessary data
invoke the appropriate helper class method to retrieve the data
include the template to display the output.

Step 1: Create new folder with name of com_hello under {joomla-folder}/components folder.

Step 2: Next create a hello.php file inside the above created {joomla-folder}/components folder, and type / Copy the code as the following then save as it is.

//This line will prevent people from accessing the file directly without through the URL rules which is established by Joomla.
defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );

echo '

Hello, World!

';

?>

Now its time to tell joomla, show my codes on my browser..Yes! please follow the below rules to run your simple components.

Step 3:
http://[servername]/[joomla-folder]/index.php?option=com_hello

you can run if you use your system as a server and you have installed joomla under myjoomla : [servername] -> http;//loclahost/myjoomla/index.php?option=com_hello

Congratulation, you have successfully created a hello world Joomla Component. you can learn simple form components very shortly...

Create your First Custom Drupal Module Step by Step - Hello World!

2012-09-13T04:28:00.000-07:00

The focus of this chapter is module creation. In the last chapter we learned about Drupal's Installations.Now its time to start our coding with our first modules.

Here are some of the important topics that we will cover in this course:

Basics

Starting a new module
Creating .info files to provide Drupal with module information
Creating .module files to store Drupal code
Adding new blocks using the Block Subsystem
Using common Drupal functions

Advacned

Formatting code according to the Drupal coding standards
Writing an automated test for Drupal

We are going to divide this task of building a new module into the three parts:
Create a new module folder structures
Work with the Block
Write automated tests using the SimpleTest framework included in Drupal

Step 1

Type of Modules

Folder Strctures of each Modules

Step 2:

Creating the module directory

Now that we know that our modules should go in /sites/default/modules, we can create a new module there.The directory should be named with the machine-readable name of the module.

Create a module directory in /sites/default/modules, and then place at least two files inside the directory:
a .info (pronounced "dot-info") file
b .module ("dot-module") file.

We are going to name our first module with the Hello world, since it is our first module. Thus, we will create a new directory, /sites/default/modules/simple_hello_world, and then create a simple_hello_world.info file and a simple_hello_world.module file as like below

.info file

Check with below codes and write same code on your simple_hello_world.info file

; $Id$

name = simple_hello_world

description = This is my first sample module

package = phpcmsjobs modules

core = 7.x

files[] = simple_hello_world.module

The first line is a standard. Every .info file should begin with ;$Id$. What is this? It is the placeholder for the version control system to store information about the file.

The first two are required in every .info file.

name : name Directive is used to declare what the module's human-readable name is.

Description : Provides a one or two-sentence description of what this module provides or is used for. Among other places, this information is displayed on the module configuration section of the administration pages as like below

Package : The third item, package, identifies which family (package) of modules this module is related to.
Core : Declares which main-line version of Drupal is required by the module.

Step 3:

Creating a module file

The .module file is a PHP file that conventionally contains all of the major hook implementations for a module.

function simple_hello_world_menu(){

$items = array();

$items['simple_hello_world'] = array(
'title' => t('Hello world! This is my First Module'),
'page callback' => 'simple_hello_world_output',
'access arguments' => array('access content'),
);

return $items;
}

/*
* Display output
*/
function simple_hello_world_output() {
header('Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8');
header('Content-Disposition: inline');
return 'simple_hello_world';
}

?>

The theme template file page-helloworld.tpl.php

print $content; ?>

Step 4:

To invoke hello world go to : http://example.com/simple_hello_world

If you don’t have Clean URLs enabled then you have to access this module at: example.com/?q=simple_hello_world

Otherwise you will get a 404 error at example.com/helloworld

Congratulations, Now you have successfully created the First Drupal Custom Modules.

Additionally we will see How to create a module with Simple Form? very shortly..

Please share your feedback here.....

A Step by Step wordpress installations guide

2012-09-11T03:16:00.000-07:00

Please follow the below steps to success with Installations

Step 1: Download the installation archive from the WordPress download section by clicking on "Download.zip" or "Download.tar.gz". This way you will get the latest stable release of the WordPress application.

On Server

Step 2: Upload it in the public_html folder of your account. You can do that through an FTP client like FileZilla or via cPanel -> File Manager -> Upload file(s). This way, after the installation is completed, the script will appear once your write something like http://yourdomainname.com in your web browser. Or you can create a subfolder there and upload the file in it. The wordpress installation will be available at: http://yourdomainname.com/subfolder.

Step 3: Once you are in the File Manager, please navigate to the uploaded file and extract it by clicking on the Extract link. It will create a subfolder: wordpress-x.x.x., where instead of x.x.x. is the current version. So you can move the files one level up in the desired directory. The other option is to extract the file in your computer and then to upload the content in the desired folder via FTP.

On Localhost

If you installed XAMPP server for PHP, then go to "htdocs" root folder on your installation directory
If you installed WAMP server for PHP, then go to "www" root folder on your installation directory

Step 2: Extract the downloaded wordpress ZIP file. It will create a subfolder: wordpress-x.x.x., where instead of x.x.x. is the current version. So you can move the files on the appropriate root folder. Or you can create a subfolder on the appropriate root folder and then move on it.

Step 3: The wordpress installation will be available at: http://{hostname}/subfolder. Replace hostname with your local server name ex: localhost,if you are using PORT no according with hostname then you can use http://{hostname:PORT}/subfolder. ex: localhost:80 instead of {hostname:PORT}.

Step 4: Once the files are extracted in the desired folder, you should create a MySQL database for wordpress. You can do that from cPanel -> MySQL Databases or http://{hostname}/phpmyadmin. There you should create a database and add a user to it.

Step 5: Rename wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php and edit it. Fill in your database connection details in the following lines:

define('DB_NAME', ''); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', ''); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', ''); // ...and password

Please note that you must type the full name of the database and the MySQL user. Let's assume that your cPanel / phpmyadmin username is "root" and your domain name is mywordpress.com. If the name of your database is "wpress", the user is "wpuser" and the password for the MySQL user is "123456" you should update the lines in the wp-config.php file to:

define('DB_NAME', 'mywordp_wpress');
define('DB_USER', 'mywordp_wpuser');
define('DB_PASSWORD', '123456');

Step 6: to continue , Open in your browser: www.yourdomainname.com/where_wordpress_is_extracted/wp-admin/install.php.

Step 7: Click on “Create a configuration file” and then click on “Let’s Go”.

Step 8: Enter the value of database name, username and password (which you give before in the wp-config.php).Don’t touch the “Database Host” and “Table Prefix”. Leave it as such and press “Submit”.

Step 9: Now click on “Run the Install”. Enter your blog title and e-mail.No need to select the box which says “Allow my blog to appear in search engines like Google and Technorati” since this is a local install.

Step 10: Now click on “Install WordPress”.

Step 11: Now Note that password carefully! It is a random password that was generated just for you.and press “Login”. Now Login inside the WordPress using the username “admin” and the password you get from the previous step.(this password is not your permanent password, you must change once you logged in)

Step 12: Here you can login / choose your own password along with colour schemes, display name, biography etc.. And click “update profile”.

2012-09-03T05:33:00.000-07:00

Now you have installed the latest drupal version from here.

Okay, now we will start to learn how to install downloded version on your server step by step.

Step 1: Download the installation file from Drupal.org by choosing the latest stable version and clicking on the download link next to the package.

On Server

Step 2: Upload it in the public_html folder of your account. You can do that through an FTP client like FileZilla or via cPanel -> File Manager -> Upload file(s). This way, after the installation is completed, the script will appear once your write something like http://yourdomainname.com in your web browser. Or you can create a subfolder there and upload the file in it. The Drupal installation will be available at: http://yourdomainname.com/subfolder.

Step 3: Once you are in the File Manager, please navigate to the uploaded file and extract it by clicking on the Extract link. It will create a subfolder: drupal-x.x.x., where instead of x.x.x. is the current version. So you can move the files one level up in the desired directory. The other option is to extract the file in your computer and then to upload the content in the desired folder via FTP.

On Localhost

If you installed XAMPP server for PHP, then go to "htdocs" root folder on your installation directory
If you installed WAMP server for PHP, then go to "www" root folder on your installation directory

Step 2: Extract the downloaded drupal ZIP file. It will create a subfolder: drupal-x.x.x., where instead of x.x.x. is the current version. So you can move the files on the appropriate root folder. Or you can create a subfolder on the appropriate root folder and then move on it.

Step 3: The Drupal installation will be available at: http://{hostname}/subfolder. Replace hostname with your local server name ex: localhost,if you are using PORT no according with hostname then you can use http://{hostname:PORT}/subfolder. ex: localhost:80 instead of {hostname:PORT}.

Step 4: Once the files are extracted in the desired folder, you should create a MySQL database for Drupal. You can do that from cPanel -> MySQL Databases or http://{hostname}/phpmyadmin. There you should create a database and add a user to it.

Step 5: Go to the URL of your Drupal site and run the install.php file (for example http://yourdomainname.com/install.php or http://{hostname}/subfolder). Select "Standard" profile option for your Drupal application.

Step 6: Select the default language for the Drupal web site.

Step 7: Enter the database details for the database which you have created in Step 4. Click on the Save and continue button to continue.

Step 8: Enter the site information and the administrative login details. Click on the Save and Continue button.

Step 9: Good Job! The drupal installation is completed and you can proceed to your drupal first web site.

Wordpress Introductions

What is WordPress.com?

WordPress.com lets you easily create your own blog and write about the things that interest you. It is a blogging community managed by makers of the open source WordPress software. WordPress.com blogs are free with the option of adding upgrades such as personalized domain names, custom CSS, video storage, and more. In comparison, a self-hosted WordPress.org blog does not have upgrades and must be installed on a web hosting account separately. See WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org to learn more about the differences.

What is a "blog"?

"Blog" is an ectended version of "weblog," which is a term used to explore web sites that maintain an ongoing history of information. A blog features diary-type commentary and links to articles on other Web sites, usually presented as a list of entries in reverse historical order. Blogs range from the personal to the political, and can focus on one narrow subject or a whole range of subjects.

you may focus on a particular topic blogs, such as web design, home staging, sports, or mobile technology. Some are more eclectic, presenting links to all types of other sites. And others are more like personal journals, presenting the author's daily life and thoughts.

Easy installation and upgrades

Installing WordPress and upgrading from previous versions and other software is a easy to drive.

WordPress Pages

A standard feature to WordPress is it's paging system. You can manage, edit and delete pages from the admin. Pages are able to be set in a hierarchy so that you can have a parent page and then sub pages to that parent page which is pretty useful for situations such as having an about us page and then having a location page, privacy policy page, TOS page etc.

For an idea of how powerful this is, the entire WordPress.org site could be run off WordPress alone.

Page Templates

WordPress allows you to create static web pages using page templates. It supports the use of multiple templates which enables you to style each page individually.

Permalinks

Permalinks allows you to create URL friendly versions of URL's generated by WordPress, you can have the page/post name as the URL instead of the ugly and SEO and user unfriendly standard way.
You can use /%category%/%postname%/ for the structure.(Recommended)

WordPress Themes

WordPress comes with a full theme system which makes designing everything from the simplest blog to the most complicated webzine a piece of cake, and you can even have multiple themes with totally different looks that you switch with a single click. Have a new design every day.

Easy Importing

We currently have importers for Movable Type, Textpattern, Greymatter, Blogger, and b2. Work on importers for Nucleus and pMachine are under way.

XML-RPC interface

WordPress currently supports an extended version of the Blogger API, MetaWeblog API, and finally the MovableType API. You can even use clients designed for other platforms like Zempt.

About Joomla,

Joomla is an award-winning content management system, among the most popular Open Source content management systems that exist today. If you just need to build a web site for yourself and are unfamiliar with all this HTML stuff, or you develop web sites for other people, or if you’re at the pointy end of developing web-based applications.Best of all, Joomla is an open source solution that is freely available to everyone.

Some of the core features of Joomla are

User Management
Media Manager
Language Manager
Banner Management
Polls
Content Management
Menu Manager
Template Management
Web Services

User Management

Joomla has a registration system that allows users to configure personal options. There are nine user groups with various types of permissions on what users are allowed to access, edit, publish and administrate.

Authentication is an important part of user management and Joomla support multiple protocols, including LDAP, OpenID, and even Gmail. This allows users to use their existing account information to streamline the registration process.

Media Manager

The Media Manager is the tool for easily managing media files or folders and you can configure the MIME type settings to handle any type of file. The Media Manager is integrated into the Article Editor tool so you can grab images and other files at any time.

Language Manager

There is international support for many world languages and UTF-8 encoding. joomla has a Multilingual supports.

Banner Management

Using the Banner Manager, easy to set up banners on your Web site . Once you add campaigns and as many banners as you need, you can set impression numbers, special URLs, and more.

Polls

Using polls, you can find about your users opinions, it's easy to create polls with multiple options.

Content Management

Joomla's simplified three-tiered system of articles makes organizing your content a snap. You can organize your content any way you want and not necessarily how it will be on your Web site. Your users can rate articles, e-mail them to a friend, or automatically save a PDF (with UTF-8 support for all languages). Administrators can archive content for safekeeping, hiding it from site visitors.

On public Web sites, built-in e-mail cloaking protects email addresses from spambots.

Creating content is simple with the WYSIWYG editor, giving even novice users the ability to combine text, images in an attractive way. Once you've created your articles, there are a number of pre-installed modules to show the most popular articles, latest new items, newsflashes, related articles, and more.

Menu Manager

The Menu Manager allows you can create as many menus and menu items as you need. You can structure your menu hierarchy (and nested menu items) completely independent of your requirement of content structure. Put one menu in multiple places and in any style you want; use rollovers, dropdown, flyouts and just about any other navigation system you can think of. Also automatic breadcrumbs are generated to help navigate your site users.

Template Management

Templates in Joomla are a powerful way to make your site look exactly the way you want and either use a single template for the entire site or a separate template for each site section. The level of visual control goes a step further with powerful template overrides, allowing you to customize each part of your pages.

System Features

Speedy page loads are possible with page caching, granular-level module caching, and GZIP page compression.

Web Services

With Web services, you can use Remote Procedure Calls (via HTTP and XML). Also you can integrate XML-RPC services with the Blogger and Joomla APIs.

Drupal Introduction

2012-08-30T06:16:00.001-07:00

What is Drupal?

Drupal is one of the best Content Management Systems (CMS). It is written in PHP and requires a MySQL database. Its basic installation can be easily turned into many different types of web sites - from simple web logs to large online communities.

Drupal is open source. You can freely and easy to install Drupal.
Easy way to customize source code to fit your requirements;
No programming knowledge needed! you can learn the basics of Drupal from this blog.
Lots of popular modules & features including Search Engine Friendly URLs(SEF), categories, search function and forum, blog, wiki and many other types of web sites;
Lot of community and developers are there to help you and to solve the problems

Drupal Archistructure

Some of the basic section described below,

Node / Entities

A node in Drupal is the generic term for a piece of content on your web site.

Some examples of nodes:

Pages in books
Discussion topics in forums
Entries in blogs
News article stories

Each node on your site has a Content Type. It also has fields such as Node ID, a Title, a descriptions, a creation date, an author (a user on the site), a Body (which may be ignored/omitted for some content types), and some other properties. By using modules such as the contributed Content Construction Kit (CCK) module, the core Taxonomy module, and the contributed Location module, you can add fields and other properties to your nodes.

In Drupal 7 nodes are still used, but the idea of nodes is expanded and named Entities. Entities can include not only nodes but users, comments, relationships between nodes etc. All entities can have extra information associated with them (fields) just as nodes do when using the Content Construction Kit.

Module

A module is software (code) that extends Drupal features and/or functionality. Drupal have 3 kind of modules

Core modules are those included with the main download of Drupal, and you can turn on their functionality without installing additional software.
Contributed modules are downloaded from the Modules download section of drupal.org, and installed within your Drupal installation.
Custom Module , you can also create your own modules; this requires a thorough understanding of Drupal structure, PHP programming.

Region, Block, Menu

Pages on your Drupal site are laid out in regions, which can include the header, footer, sidebars, and main content section; your theme may define additional regions. Blocks are discrete chunks of information that are displayed in the regions of your site's pages. Blocks can take the form of menus (which are concerned with site navigation), the output from modules (e.g., hot forum topics), or dynamic and static chunks of information that you've created yourself (e.g., a list of upcoming events).

There are three standard menus in Drupal: Primary Links, Secondary Links, and Navigation. Primary and Secondary links are built by site administrators, and displayed automatically in the page header of many themes (if not, you can enable their blocks to display them). Navigation is the catch-all menu that contains your administration menus, as well as links supplied by modules on your site. You can also create your own custom menus, and display them by enabling their blocks.

You can customize menus in several ways, such as reordering menu items by setting their “weight” or simply dragging into place, renaming menu items, and changing the link title (the tooltip that appears when you mouse over a menu item). You can move a menu item into a different menu by editing the Parent property of the menu item.

You can also add custom menu items to a menu, from the Add menu item tab of the Menu administration screen. To create a menu item, you will need to provide the path to the content (see above).

In all cases a menu item will only be shown to a visitor if they have the rights to view the page it links to; e.g., the admin menu item is not shown to visitors who are not logged in.

User, Permission, Role

Each user / anonymous users has a numeric user ID, and non-anonymous users also have a user name and an email address. Other information can also be associated with users by modules; for instance,

Anonymous users have a user ID of zero (0). The user with user ID one (1), which is the user account you create when you install Drupal, is special: that user has permission to do absolutely everything on the site.

Other users on your site can be assigned permissions via roles. To do this, you first need to create a role, which you might call "Content editor" or "Member". Next, you will assign permissions to that role, to tell Drupal what that role can and can't do on the site. Finally, you will grant certain users on your site your new role, which will mean that when those users are logged in, Drupal will let them do the actions you gave that role permission to do.

Theme

The theme controls how your site is displayed, including the graphic look, layout, and colors. A theme consists of one or more PHP files that define the HTML output of your site's pages, along with one or more CSS files that define the layout, fonts, colors, and other styles.

Database

Drupal stores information in a database; each type of information has its own database table. For instance, the basic information about the nodes of your site are stored in the Node table, and if you use the CCK module to add fields to your nodes, the field information is stored in separate tables. Comments and Users also have their own database tables, and roles, permissions, and other settings are also stored in database tables.

You can also assign permissions for the special built-in roles of "anonymous user" (a user who is not logged in) and "authenticated user" (a user who is logged in, with no special role assignments). Drupal permissions are quite flexible -- you are allowed to assign permission for any task to any role, depending on the needs of your site.
