I Go To The Rock - Whitney Houston

2012-02-12T09:37:00.000+05:30

Go To The Rock Whitney Houston
Preacher's Wife Orignal Soundtrack
Gospel Religious Spiritual Diva

Where do I go?
When there's nobody else to turn to
Who do I talk to?
When nobody wants to listen
Who do I lean on? Oh
When there is no foundation stable
I go to the rock
I know he is able, I go to the rock

[Chorus:]
I go to the rock of my salvation
I go to the stone that the builders rejected
I run to the mountain
And the mountain he stands by me
When the Earth all around me is sinking sand
On Christ the solid rock I stand
When I need a shelter I go to the rock

Where do I go, where do I go
When the storms of life are threatening
Who do I turn to when those winds of sorrow blow
And is there a refuge in the time of tribulation
Go to the rock, I know he is able
I go to the rock

[Repeat Chorus (2X)]

I go the rock when I need a friend
I can go to the rock
I go to the rock when I need a shelter
You can go to the rock
You can go to the rock
You can go to the rock
I can go
I go to the rock
I can go to the rock
I can go to the rock
I can go, I can go to the rock
I can go when I need some shelter
When I need a friend
I can go

And when the Earth around me is sinking sand
On Christ the solid rock I stand I can stand
When I need a friend
I go to the rock
I can go to the rock
Hey hey hey oh yeah

Clues if a site is run by magento

2012-02-09T19:33:00.002+05:30

No 1
right click on the page and click view-page -source

if you find several "/skin/frontend/" the site might be run by magento
or if you /skin/frontend/default/default it means probably they have played around with default theme...

No 2
in chrome or firefox (i think you have to install firbug in chrome nothing is needed to do the inspace element)

notice in the Resources -> Cookies section theres frontend attribute

disable Cookies in the browser the site will respond to enable Cookies and what are Cookies :)

No 3
right after magento site url that is after the index.php (eg: www.shoesales.com/index.php) add a slash and admin www.shoesales.com/index.php/admin if it takes you to admin panel logi screen definitely the site is run by magento..

you can change the admin url via admin panel but please be careful. backup before you do anything magento also values to database tables.

today i encountered a nice error.. i am very thankful for google and all guys who put free help stuff..

i had installed Magento 1.6.2.0 community edition

i had to install fontis australia module in the new server running PHP 5.3.8 got an error
CONNECT ERROR: Can’t write to file: /home/magento/downloader/.cache/community/Fontis_Australia-2.0.7/app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/fontis/australia/system/config/form/field/array_dropdown.phtml

Magento Store Debug

2012-02-09T18:47:00.002+05:30

whenever you start playing with Magento code or install new modules the frontend/admin panel users might get a ugly error page, so in order to bypass this... in the public_html or root folder theres a folder called errors and you will find a file called local.xml.sample. rename or copy it to local.xml...

and change the action to email email

and add your email error@jeromenicholas.com

so whenever theres bug or some conflicting error the user will see a contact the admin form, even if they close the form, magento will send you email with a detail debug dump.

Magento Community - Maintenance Mode

2012-02-09T18:24:00.000+05:30

add a file inside your magento installation directory called maintenance.flag with text maintenance

whenever someone access the site will get the following messsage

the code in index.php that is in the /public_html or root folder, checks if there's a file called maintence.flag, if its available shows the /errors/503.php file.

change it to your own custom page

or change the line to

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

$allowed = array('112.134.126.52','112.134.123.64');
// these are the IP's that are allowed to view the site.

if (file_exists($maintenanceFile) && !in_array($ip, $allowed)) {

login into Fedora 16 from Windows 7 putty

2012-02-08T09:31:00.000+05:30

i am trying to connect my fedora pc from windows pc in the same local network

Computer A:
Fedora 16 32 bit Gnome

Computer B:
Windows 7 Premium + Putty

Fedora 16 ->
open the "Firewall" and under "Trusted Interfaces"
check the eth+

you need to install "openssh-server"
you can try rpm -q openssh-server to find out if its already installed
open the gnome-terminal and type yum install openssh-server

you probably need to configuere ssh
type vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
locate the lines

# To disable tunneled clear text passwords, change to no here!
#PasswordAuthentication yes
#PermitEmptyPasswords no
PasswordAuthentication yes

and uncomment it

# To disable tunneled clear text passwords, change to no here!

PasswordAuthentication yes

PermitEmptyPasswords no

PasswordAuthentication yes

service sshd status --to get the status of ssh
service sshd restart -- restart the ssh

ps -C | grep ssh --check if ssh is running

download the putty.exe
type the ip address and select ssh

netstat -a | grep ssh --you will see new connection in "ESTABLISHED" state
