I was having some major issues while attempting to run Zend Framework 2 on Lighttpd because my rewrite rules were not as easy to create as Apache. Â Actually, I can’t say they are harder, just way different. Â Here’s what seems to be working now though: url.rewrite-if-not-file = ( “/(.*)$” […]
Recently I ran into a problem booting my root ZFS mirror. Couldn’t get it to load, and only saw blinking cursor or blank screens. Grub could see the FS though! Â I suspect I had a corrupted or out-of-sync zpool.cache file. Don’t ask me how that can happen, because the whole […]
Error showed: dsi_getsess: Connection refused. Was actually a simple fix. Â (FYI, I am running Netatalk 2.2.4 on FreeBSD/PCBSD 9.1) Open /etc/hosts.allow Add lines for afpd for your network/hosts. Change to match your environment, of course. afpd: [ fe80:ca2a:%nfe0 ] : allow afpd: .1stbyte.lan : allow afpd: 192.168.0.0/24 : allow […]
Note to self: Fix this Error in Apache PHP Suexec FastCGI session_start open O_RDWR Permission Denied Warning: session_start(): open(path-to-tmp-dir, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied(13) The solution was simple, but in most of my PHP scripts it didn’t even show this error. The fix: Go to your /var/tmp directory. (or wherever you […]
The new SimCity game was release a couple days ago. Nice. I guess. Like the rest of us, I can hardly get on the game due to overload and bugs. The game requires me to be online and play on their servers, and even worse, the one thing that really […]
I wrote this up on Stackoverflow.com too as an answer to my own question. (links below) So basically , I want some config variables available app-wide in my Zend Framework 2 apps. I also want a database adapter object available and connection. Controllers don’t have preDispatch by default now. Â I […]
Just ran into this quick blurb… zfs set com.sun:auto-snapshot=false butank/DATA/backups So I have backups running to a secondary storage ZFS pool in my server and today I realized my disk space was consumed by ZFS snapshots. Â I thought, there’s no way even my backups are using that much data, even […]
My awesome wife brought home an iPad Mini for me last night. :) My super quick review….  pretty much like most other reviews… Kicks butt!!  The nerds out there who complain about the non-retina screen, I partially agree with. Regular people won’t care. The nerds complain about the older processor […]
Just ran into this solution which works pretty good. Â I first found that I could create an ISO image from my CD disc by using cat, like so: cat /dev/sr0 > /path/to/new.iso However, using the “right tool for the job” we can use the “readom” command line tool. According to […]
So with the big outage today, I did some quick looking around. Just wondered if there were any DNS registrars that have decent security practices. It’s tough to find. Not that the attack on GoDaddy was a security breach, it wasn’t. It was a Denial of Service attack, not a […]
Recently I upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04. We had UnixODBC running fine in 10.04, but something changed because the odbc drivers couldn’t be found. Â I got an error while running isql: isql -v gregtest [01000][unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can’t open lib ‘/usr/lib/odbc/libmyodbc.so’ : file not found We also couldn’t run our Acucobol apps anymore […]
Just had to do a super quick note about this awesomeness! Â iCloud for Pages in Mountain Lion has folders! Â I thought to myself, “How do I organize these iCloud documents?” Â Over time, I’ll collect or create lots and lots of documents, there better be some folders or organization of some […]
Carbon Copy Cloner backup saves productivity and downtime during OSX Mountain Lion upgrade because of a damaged disk error. I could’t wait, I had to install OSX Mountain Lion on my main, production MacBook Pro. Yeah, shouldn’t have done that. Well, I had a Mac Mini that I already upgraded […]
I was having a tough time getting my UITableView to get into “Edit Mode” or editing style, as Apple calls it, when I touch the Edit button on my navigation bar. Â I solved it, but here’s a little back story first. Â I had my view setup in Storyboard, only it […]
I am testing out the Beta of Bitcasa right now. Its pretty cool! Â I haven’t done too much with it yet, so I don’t want to comment on any of its pros or cons just yet. Â One thing, however, did catch my attention. Â I use Crashplan as my main backup […]
I setup a new computer for a client, and Windows 7 would not map the drives in the logon script for the domain account. Ran into this issue, again. Our domain uses a VBScript as our login script, and it appears to run. It runs correctly if started manually, just […]
Well… not much of a guide really. Â Just a very quick how-to on what I did to get Time Machine on my Macbook Pro with OSX Lion 10.7 to save the backup data to my Linux server network share using AFP, rather than SMB (Windows Share), a Time Capsule, or […]
Qwest / Centurylink DSL Web site timeouts, hangups, or failures while running a firewall or router with static IP addresses. Recently I setup the Qwest DSL service in my home. It worked great, but after a couple days I started to get hang ups and timeouts or hangups while browsing […]
EDIT 5/19/2012 As per this item in SpiderOak Realease Notes (4.5.9939): Looks like they do include a LAN sync feature now!! Â I left my original post below intact, but wanted to point out this update right away. I am going to download for my Mac, Ubuntu 12.04 system, and my […]
Below is a very quick example of what I did to configure a system DSN connection to a Mysql and PostgreSQL database using UnixODBC drivers on Ubuntu Lucid server from command line only. # Do the obvious, install mysql an postgresql first. :) # install unixodbc apt-get install unixodbc […]
