Wordpress Update…. Don’t forget to do this!

Thursday 10 January 2008 @ 6:03 pm

If you upgraded from 2.1 to 2.3.2, please don’t forget this database update:

You will need to add a new table called POST2CAT into your database.

Depending on your setup, it maybe defaulted to WP_ prefix
so make sure you add this to your SQL

You may need to access your MYSQL DB controls thru your control panel (CPANEL / WHM / PLESK / HELM ) and go thru phpmyadmin to access them.
Check your CONFIG.PHP for your database settings.

Then …easily update yr blog using the WP-AUTO-UPGRADE script. Yeah..the post ID is satanic abit.

More Upgrades

Saturday 10 February 2007 @ 4:31 pm

Don’t say I DID NOT WARN YOU!
I am about to embark on my biggest project ever.

What to expect? Alot of downtime, for sure,cos mainly, I’m the only person doing all these stuff.Basicly, alot of factors made me do this.

1) Powweb Servers rental are due. They are not giving us the great deal as before. $7.77 was the deal, with buy one year, get 6mths free… and I took the 2yr get 2yr free. That is still active on the Perkahwinan.Org server. I’m going to remove all that, and port it to another single entity. I have 3 servers there, and there are are two which is under utilised and nearly to it’s end of the prepaid term. So , in order to renew, it’s $200 each, and it’s not worth it. I better put it to good use and renew the domains instead.

Their servers are getting VERY SLUGGISH nowadays, so I think it’s time to port out!Too much problems.

2)Hostgator Server 51 *(NS101) is on the Pre-Upgraded set. So, I am stuck with 5GB Space…and 75GB Bandwidth, whereas the newbies get 100GB space and 1,000GB *(that’s One Terrabyte!) Bandwidth. I have noticed that this server is getting sluggish and since the time we got banned due to a script error. So I did not want that to happen, and killed ALL of my sites, thus I took on more, with one I got for 1c on the first month. It’s silly, and I can say, it’s a real hassle!

But it works like a wonder! At least I can get things done properly, with PPP giving me a hit on the head for some work!

3)My Photo Galleries software are out of date, and so I took a new licensing for TWO new sites and a Photo based Advertising Gallery. That will be on my Free Property Listings - UK Edition. It’s a EBAY Style listing, and Foruming all in one. I will be working on it abit more, cos the previous marketplace I installed, well…sucked! Open Realty also has ALOT of limitations. I don’t want a vB based Job Marketplace…like Powweb did…..nor I want something on Ruby-on-Rails which I don’t even know head from tail! I will work on this once I learn new tricks and when my Linux machines come back to me. At least I can crash and trash it for all I care.

4)For the time being, it’s a one man show, less Mommy Tia & Co, in the world of Technology.My old operations have cease due to alot of problems I don’t even want to get into details.It sucks, and I hate to part with my friends who are my co-workers. So, if you want to work on this project with me, fine, as it’s quite promising, especially on the advertising aspect of things.

There will be more…but do understand if any of the network sites have an issue, it’s probably me doing something in the back…again!

Best Wishes.

Azrin

What happened so far….

Thursday 26 May 2005 @ 6:24 pm

Linux, Debian, Knoppix ..and things that doesn’t happen.

What the heck,I said.
I installed Debian on my Dell Optiplex XS 800Mhz Cpu after my attempts to install Windows XP failed on me.
Why? I don’t know. Alot of page faults, and even Debian had some problem initially installing the GNOME KDE. Crap I said… must be a bad memory bank or dodgy motherboard, or even poor video Chipset.

possible? Yep. but after rebooting and restarting APT , it works, so far so good.

Now, what I wanted to say today? I’m tired.Yes.
Slept at about 5am , way way over my time limit of 4am for any project. Cranky and tired, still I wanted to go out today…

And yes… at 2:30pm, I finally decided to go out…after making athira’s milk for the day. Wife keep on changing her mind, on whether she wanna follow or not. Having an absess on her arm doesn’t harm her , no?

So we went out. I felt a funny sensation today… and after reaching the M2 heading towards Whitstable, there were roadworks.

I, for one, love to drive fast, so I can reach there quick. Then after the Sheerness / Sittingborne exit…. I heard a huge Bang! Clang…thought I had a puncture..and I immediately veered to the shoulder… Rough juddering… did I burst both tyres??

What the Fuck I muttered, as I got out…no puncture…but then.. I noticed my tyre was out….off as it goes.
Broken steering Rack, off the CV bush.Darn! I just changed them last year before the MOT. Cuss Ali for fixing a dodgy one.

Cuss myself. My RAC cover was not on properly. Had to call someone. So? Call the Highways Agency from the SOS call box.
10 mins, and they were there, cordoning off the shoulder from afar… and with their blinkers …they are a protection against secondary accidents. But how did that happen? I suspect something I hit on the lane median… must be hard and big…. or I overloaded? Nah!

So the RAC came…can’t do anything…. 45mins after the Highways Agency paged them. And we were still waiting on the soft shoulder, off the safety barrier..and it was 4′c ….freezing my tail off. Had to call another lorry to pick the car up.
Darn!

I just heck care..and after 2hrs…we were back where we started. Home.
Now… time to nap, and then to do some R&D on the DEBIAN.
Time to get the Linux working with the WiFi.

Back to normal program, I suppose

Fed up with OpenSlug

Wednesday 18 May 2005 @ 6:18 pm

I give up! Should have stuck to my NSLU..

Poor Linksys Network Storage Unit ….
I just upgraded the firmware and the Flipping upgrade don’t work on me….
dunno why though..the OpenSlug manual says install that to the NSLU when without a usb disk/drive…
dead..can’t revive it at all….

Let me take a nap and see what I can do next.

Continuing from what I did this morning

Sunday 15 May 2005 @ 6:18 pm

DELL P2-300M box ready for surgery

Yes…you read it… the DELL Optiplex is about to be disected from me.
It has a good P2-300Mhz CPU with 192M ram, 6Gig hard disk.
Not bad for something that is what..5-6 yrs old?

What I want to do with it? I’m Burn testing it rite now, with KNOPPIX Linux LiveCD… and as we speak, I’m downloading the whole 14 CD of DEBIAN LINUX DISTRO, Each over 640MB! Gosh…Thank god for AOL Unlimited Broadband. And even on a 8MB line…I can only get 200-300kbps on the FTP channels tops..

The other Dell (Small One)… is a P3-800 I think…have yet to see and run thru. The CPU Chip itself looks ok..not burnt..but with 128M Ram….not enuff…I’ll get more later on….

now plan is…optimise the RAM and stuff ..and load Linux..and the 800..dual boot ..let Athira play with it.

Project X :Admin Logs

Saturday 30 April 2005 @ 6:15 pm

Project X : Linux Box + Windows Box + Everything Box

I got myself an old pc from some geezer on eBay the other day, a P300 and a P800…..with some bits and bobs to it. Why the heck I do that is part of my Network Storage Project , “Project X” for March 2006.

Partly I need the old pc to let my little daughter Athira to play with it, by loading some educational programs loaded thru the network, thus why I am eager for my NSLU2 unit to come back and load up the linux OS on it. partly cos� want my FREECOM 80GB to be useful than to sit there and needed to be plugged to a pc or something.

Whats the plan now?
-Check the PC configs and see if I need to do some scavanging ..namely the USB2 ports & network port.
-Compatibility list for UBUNTU or any of the linux flavors
-finding myself an EXTREMELY LONG (10M?)UTP cable to hook that up to my pcs thru a hub or which ever.
-Understanding the Linux Install Process

and then….back to “Plan W” - ie updating ALL THE WEBSITES.
