Do you wonder How to change <meta name="Generator" content="Joomla! – Copyright (C) 2005 – 2007 Open Source Matters. All rights reserved." /> in Joomla 1.5

If yes, Here is how I've just found to remove the:

 

in my Joomla installation.

I need to remove that as a part of making my website not to leak out that it runs on top of Joomla.

So here is how:

1. Go to your Joomla website main root directory
2. Edit /libraries/joomla/document/html/renderer/head.php
Look for line: 83 in the /libraries/joomla/document/html/renderer/head.php
There you will notice the code:

$strHtml .= $tab.'<meta name="generator" content="'.$document->getGenerator().'" />'.$lnEnd;

In order to remove the <meta name="generator" content="Joomla …." /> change the above code to something like:

$strHtml .= $tab.'<meta name="generator" content="My Custom Web site Generator name" />'.$lnEnd;

That's all now next time you refresh your website the content="Joomla! – Copyright (C) 2005 – 2009 Open Source Matters. All rights reserved." will be no more.
Cheers! 🙂

How to protect Munin Web statistics with password on GNU / Linux

Thursday, October 27th, 2011

I just installed munin to track in web the performance of few Debian servers. I’ve configured munin to open via a Virtualhosts in Apache. As its always wise to protect any statistics data about the server from the unwanted possible security violators, I decided to protect Munin with Apache .htaccess.

The munin htmldir output dir is configured to be in /var/www/munin, hence I protected my munin with password by:

1. Creating .htaccess file in /var/www/munin with following content

AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.munin_htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName EnterPassword
AuthType Basic

require user admin

2. Creating /etc/apache2/.munin_htpasswd with htpasswd (htaccess password generator cmd)

debian:/var/www/munin# htpasswd -c /etc/apache2/.munin_htpasswd admin
New password:
Re-type new password:
Adding password for user admin

Another important thing I had to do is set my VirtualHost file to be configured with AllowOverride All , if AllowOverride All is missing the .htaccess and .htpasswd are not red at all.
Afterwards munin is protected with password, and when my virtualdomain where munin lays e.g. http://munin.mydomain.com is accessed the .htpasswd password dialog pops up 😉

Linux / FreeBSD Text Based Gallery Generator (llgal, igal, igal2, bbgallery)

Monday, September 14th, 2009

Recently I was looking for a handy way to generate nice html or php like gallery.After some asking in freenode and some help provided by some guys from #debian chanas well as some personal research. I came across 4 handy progs that works like a charm.Here is a list of the generators:
1. llgal (llgal is an easy and fast on-line gallery generator based on iGal)
2. igal1 and igal2 (igal is a quick and easy program for placing your images online.)
3. bbgallery (small perl script generating the galleries)
.All of this gives you a way to modify the default templates according to your willings.
Be aware that bbgallery requires perl html compatability.
A small example of what you can expect from the newly generated gallery can be seen here generated with llgal and some more here generated with igal .
I personally liked more the generated default galleries with igal because they looked a bit more fancy although that llgal includes a way more advanced possibilities and options.
One of the main things that could lead you into using llgal instead of igal is that llgal supports generation of galleries from directories and subdirectories in a recursive manner, where the end generated output lists you all your pictures from directories and it’s sublinks into a common gallery right into the root directory it was executed.
One more helpful tip in case if you decide to include all subdirectories in a unique gallery use:
llgal –Pall .
llgal comes with a handy howto that describes many of the fancy llgal features.
Hope you have some fun with this three.
