Fully qualified domain name error

2012-01-28T18:35:00.000+06:00

While restarting the apache server, we may get 'Your server does not have a fully qualified domain name.' To solve this problem, we go to httpd.conf file.

/etc/apache2/httpd.conf

Add the domain name that is pointed to this IP address.

ServerName localhost

Then restart the apache web server.

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Sample Virtual Host File

2012-01-27T14:31:00.000+06:00

We use virtual hosts for our web sites. I have added a sample virtual hosts here. I have removed indexes option, so none can't browse folders if there is no index file. Also disabled MultiViews option. I have renamed the .htaccess file name to myobscurefilename and controlled limited access to it.



  # Admin email, Server Name (domain name) and any aliases
  ServerAdmin test@domain.com
  ServerName  www.domain.com
  ServerAlias domain.com


  # Index file and Document Root (where the public files are located)
  DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
  DocumentRoot /home/test/public_html/domain.com/public

  
   Options FollowSymLinks -Indexes -MultiViews
   AllowOverride All
  
  
  AccessFileName .myobscurefilename
  
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
    Satisfy All
  

  # Custom log file locations
  LogLevel warn
  ErrorLog  /home/test/public_html/domain.com/logs/error.log
  CustomLog /home/test/public_html/domain.com/logs/access.log combined

See the book OpenCart 1.4 Template Design Cookbook.

why use virtual hosts?

2012-01-25T12:13:00.002+06:00

We use virtual hosts for our websites. Why we use them? Let's discuss it here with bullet points(I don't like theoritical talking).
1. Virtual hosts enables us to use same machine, same resources for multiple applications. Each application acts like its running on its own hosting server.
2. The sessions and cookies are stored against their own domain name set on the virtual hosts.
See the book OpenCart 1.4 Template Design Cookbook.

Enable Tab to pre-populate file name in vim

2012-01-17T11:29:00.000+06:00

If you create a new user account in linux, then pressing Tab won't bring a filename with it's initials. To enable Tab you need to edit the passed file. Let's see how we can do it. 1. Create a user with:

useradd -d /home/testuser -m testuser

Here -d takes the user directory path and -m creates the user directory. you can use -p to set a password in the command. 2. To set a password use:

passed testuser

Then enter your password and retype it. 3. Now if you go to /home/testuser directory you will see .bashrc and .profile files. .bashrc file is used whenever a new tab opened in the console and .profile is used only for the first time while an authentication is done. Now we will change the /etc/passwd file. open the file and you will see your newly created user is listed there. There is sh beside his name. Change it to bash, like the following:

testuser:x:1003:1004::/home/testuser:/bin/bash

Now you will see that Tab is working in your console under your new user. See the book OpenCart 1.4 Template Design Cookbook.

How to Install APC(Alternate PHP Caching)

2011-08-13T12:20:00.004+06:00

The Alternative PHP Cache (APC) is a free, open, and robust framework for caching and optimizing PHP intermediate code. It's an PECL extension which shares the packaging and distribution system with PEAR. We need to have PEAR installed in our system.
To install APC in ubuntu, we have to write the following command:

sudo pecl install apc

I was facing a problem 'pcre.h: No such file or directory' when installing APC. For this you need to run the following command:

apt-get install libpcre3-dev

Then you try to install APC again. And it will be installed successfully. Then you have to enable APC extension by adding the following in php.ini file:

extension = apc.so

See the book OpenCart 1.4 Template Design Cookbook.

Then we added the jFlow script file.

We load the jFlow script.

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery("#myController").jFlow({
slides: "#slides",  
controller: ".jFlowControl", 
slideWrapper : "#jFlowSlide", 
selectedWrapper: "jFlowSelected",  
width: "1000px",  
height: "235px",  
duration: 400,  
prev: ".jFlowPrev", 
next: ".jFlowNext" 
});
});

Finally we add some styles to it.

.slide-wrapper { padding: 5px; }
.slide-thumbnail { width:300px; float:left; padding: 10px;}
.slide-thumbnail img {max-width:300px; }
.slide-details { width:650px; float:right; margin:10px;}
.slide-details h2 { font-size:1.5em; font-style: italic; font-weight:normal; line-height: 1; margin:0; }
.slide-details .description { margin-top:10px; }

.jFlowControl, .jFlowPrev, .jFlowNext { color:#FFF; cursor:pointer; padding-left:5px; padding-right:5px; padding-top:2px; padding-bottom:2px; }
.jFlowControl:hover, .jFlowPrev:hover, .jFlowNext:hover { background: #43A0D5; }
