Your public_html with PHP5 isn’t working in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid ?

Posted on | March 4, 2010 | No Comments

This weekend I’ve dist-upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10 *Karmic* to Ubuntu 10.04 *Lucid*, but only today I got a problem…

This was a big headache to figure out. First I got uninstallable packages for Apache2. In one or two hours I got the mirror updated and then installed it again, but my public_html with PHP5 stopped working.
I tried many things, like apt-get –reinstall, aptitude -o DPkg::Options::=”–force-confmiss” on apache2 + php5 packages and nothing was solving my problem.

So I’ve investigated a little more.. why the hell my ~userdir isn’t working with PHP5 and keep me asking to download the php source file, when the ‘localhost’ was working perfectly. Damn.. a bad day? ;(

So let’s analyze it..

$ sudo vim /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf

    <ifmodule mod_userdir.c>
        <directory /home/*/public_html>
            php_admin_value engine Off
        </directory>
    </ifmodule>

Looks like the php engine was disabled for public_html directories, so we need to change it from Off to On and then: $ sudo service apache2 reload

Still not working.. but after some hours later of investigation, I figured out that if I comment that lines of mod_userdir.c and then: $ sudo service apache2 reload, it will just work like always.

#    <ifmodule mod_userdir.c>
#        <directory /home/*/public_html>
#            php_admin_value engine On
#        </directory>
#    </ifmodule>

Just this Why “php_admin_value engine On” doesn’t work? It was supposed too..

3D Engine v1.0 em C – Trabalho final de 12º ano de TLP

Posted on | February 5, 2010 | 1 Comment

Encontrei uma daquelas relíquias nos meus backups, que é sempre bom partilhar, pois poderá ajudar alguém que precise de umas dicas / ideias para o projecto final de TLP do 12º ano. Ao contrário de alguns colegas meus da altura, em que nada foi partilhado, eu não tenho qualquer problema em fazê-lo, bem porque a minha base serviu na altura para outros colegas.

Qmailtoaster change ‘postmaster’ password for all domains

Posted on | February 3, 2010 | No Comments

Last year I needed to change the password of all postmaster accounts at company server and I didn’t googled anything, so I made this script:

#!/bin/bash
#############################################################
# Qmailtoaster change 'postmaster' password for all domains #
#############################################################
# bY Marco Rodrigues (Kmos) in 2k                           #
# http://Marco.Tondela.org                                  #
#############################################################

# Check every directory (domain) recursively and change postmaster password.
for dir in `ls -R`; do
    if [[ $dir =~ [^\.]+\.(com|net|org|pt)$ ]]; then
        /home/vpopmail/bin/vpasswd postmaster@$dir password
        echo "Password changed for postmaster@$dir"
    fi
done

I hope it could help *you* some day

Check Machines Network Status

Posted on | January 23, 2010 | 2 Comments

This is a little script I wrote some time ago for a friend in a big ISP. It could be also useful for someone. Feel free to use it.

#!/bin/bash
###################################
# Check Machines Network Status   #
###################################
# bY Marco Rodrigues (Kmos) in 2k #
# http://Marco.Tondela.org       #
###################################

# Results:
# - Answers without problems (UP)
# - Not responding (DOWN)
# - Unknown host (DNS not configured)

# Ask range of machines to ping.
printf "\nPlease enter the hostnames that you want to check: (e.g: console{1..100}.pt1)\n"
read consoles_to_check

# Check hosts and ping results.
for console in `bash -c "echo $consoles_to_check"` ; do
        if [ -x '/bin/ping' ] ; then
                PINGTEST=`/bin/ping -c 1 $console 2>&amp;amp;amp;1`

                if [ -n "`echo $PINGTEST | grep -o '100% packet loss'`" ] ; then
                        result="DOWN"
                elif [ -n "`echo $PINGTEST | grep -o '0% packet loss'`" ] ; then
                        result="UP"
                elif [ -n "`echo $PINGTEST | grep -o 'unknown host'`" ] ; then
                        result="DNS not configured"
                fi
        else
            result="Error: Ping is not correctly installed..."
        fi
        echo $console ":" $result
done

exit 0

SAPO PunyURL for Ubiquity

Posted on | August 3, 2009 | No Comments

I saw the latest news about Ubiquity and decided to give a try in my Firefox 3.5 / Ubuntu and I notice it can be helpful in various ways. It’s like an keyboard shortcut always there for something we need instantly. So I decided to use my jQuery knowledge and work on something cool in Portugal.

Nothing better to do it with SAPO PunyURL Just install Ubiquity first and after this. Enjoy =)

Display Comments Statistics Adopted

Posted on | July 12, 2009 | No Comments

Taking the spirit of open-source and to maintain something that I use in my blog / personal website, I’ve adopted Display Comments Statistics plugin for Wordpress.

Display Comments Statistics was originally created by Mário Gamito (R.I.P). I think he deserves someone to maintain it.

” This plugin shows the total number of articles and comments as well as statistics about which platforms and browsers were used in comment writing. It uses icons to identify both platforms and browsers.”

I’ve made some license and code changes, but the original idea and most of the code is there. If you want to help, contact me to be co-maintainer.

Tondela Online renovado em Rails

Posted on | January 24, 2009 | 2 Comments

O meu site de estimação (my pet site), o Portal Tondela Online foi renovado, e desta vez refeito de raíz, mas numa nova linguagem, que estou a aprender, o Ruby on Rails. O alojamento é fornecido gratuitamente pela empresa ClusterCube, que desde já agradeço publicamente.

Espero que gostem e sobretudo o visitem, comentem e dêm a sua opinião. A ideia é fazer algo completamente diferente e de não repetir os conteúdos / serviços do site da Câmara Municipal.
