Monday, February 16th, 2009 Saturday was quite shaking. The morning start yearly around 8:30.Anton a friend of mine for whom I am working and for whom I am admining twoservers. Called yearly in the morning and informed me that winner.bg is not working for several hours. I logged on the server and tried to see what’s wrong.It seemed that the whole MySQL was quite messy. It even refuses to start.There were corrupted data the system seemed to be restarted twice.I won’t enter into much details here just put some moral mostly.I was desperate things looked like everything was lost. The old sqlbackups made by the automated script I use were completely useless causethey were dumped with characterset latin1 …. So everything which was in cp1251appeared like “?” questionmarks. I thought there was encoding problem and the problem might be solved with iconv, however unfortunately that was not the case.The dumps were completely useless. So as a prescription if you use cp1251 or koi8r or any cyrillic encoding and you’ve explicitly definition in /etc/my.cnfoutlining that be sure not to dump with –default-character-set=latin1 ! Never ever! do this. At a moment I felt completely forgotten by God doubt came along for a second, nevertheless I started praying even though only with hope and without faith enough I screamed “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Blessed God, have mercy on me the sinner!”. Eventually until 16:45 most of the problems were fixed. Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! I could see one more time clearly God fixing things for me. To be honest I was so messed at a poing before all came to its place that I was not knowing exactly what I am doing. I followed a couple of steps one of which was completely unsinstall the mysql server and exchange it with 5.0.75 from 5.0.65. I had to switch to innodb recovery mode level 4 and dump some of the databases and import them back. A lot of the databases I simply copied in binary format to the newly created sql server. The sql server started working again ! Blessed be God My helped and refugee! I did some shopping on Saturday 5:30 ’till 18:00. Then I tried to recover the databaess with the screwed cyrillic letters. I had to contact ganchev “shudder” a friend of mine who is pretty good in coding and worked at the same company I did for some years. He couldn’t help however he advised me to check the dumps with hexdump -C and see if the “?” questionmarks are questionmarks. In my case they were so the backups were completely useless. I was lucky that one of the database my friend Tony has backed up and the other one was for a website who was started just a few days before so data there could be recovered with a little effort and it’s not gonna be so fatal I guess. Later on during the evening I updated a couple of services like apache php eaccelerator and so on on the two freebsd servers I take care for. On the Sunday morning I had to fix a little thing a consequence from the nightly update. The php5-gd port didn’t upgraded with the portupgrade -ri cause according to portaudit it has a security flaw. However quite flashy and luckily I fixed the problem. The rest of the Sunday I spend in talks with Paco, then we went to Sali and went to Lumiere the coffee restaurant where Sali managed to arrange work for Papi. The idea of us going there was to negotiate if possible to increase Papi’s daily sallary cause today he receives only 20 EUR per day for 10 hours of work. We went to Lumiere with Bikes that Sali gave us. On our way Papi fall off his bike and hurt his leg badly … 🙁 We went there and drinked coffee, thanks God they didn’t charged me for the coffee because the restaurant owners (Aidyn and Tazira) said the coffee I don’t need to pay for. After that we went back home we had small argue with Papi for which I deeply regret. I should thanks God for granting me from his divine mercy and doing so much for me the sinner. Quite in a few minutes I’ll be praying a bit and going to bed. Let’s hope that the Lord will be blessing me and helping me in my work and studies in the coming week just like he did so far. Just to conclude my post. Glory be to you Almighty and all merciful Lord my stronghold and my refugee! Hallelujah!END—–

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010 It’s actually very easy in order to enable this authentication via your website VirtualHost find the;
<Directory /var/www/yourwebsite>
....
</Directory>
Substitute the /var/www/yourwebsite with your correct website location in between the opening and closing Directory apache directive place something similar to the following lines:
AllowOverride All
AuthName “Add your login message here.”
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
require user name-of-user
Eventually your Directory directive in your let’s say /etc/apache2/apache2.conf should look something like the example in below
<Directory /var/www/yourwebsite>
AllowOverride All
AuthName "Add your login message here."
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
require user name-of-user
</Directory>
Of course in this example you need to set the name-of-user to an actual user name let’s say you want your login user to be admin, then substitute the name-of-user with admin
Of course set the desirable location for your .htpasswd in the AuthUserFile. Just in case if you decide to keep the same location as in my example you will further need to create the /etc/apache2/.htpasswd file.
Note here that in the above exapmle the AllowOverride All could also be substituted for AllowOverride AuthConfig , you might need to put this one if you don’t want that all .htaccess directives are recognized by Apache.
To create the .htpasswd issue the command:
debian~:# htpasswd -c /etc/apache2/.htpasswd admin
New password:
Re-type new password:
In the passwords prompts just type in your password of choice. Now we’re almost ready to have the website apache authentication working, only thing left is to reastart Apache.
I’m using Debian so restarting my apache is done via:
debian:~# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
In other Linux distributions exec the respective script for Apache restart.
Now access your website and the password protection dialog asking for your credentials to login should popup.

Friday, September 30th, 2011 Its common thing that CMS systems and many developers custom .htaccess cause issues where websites depending on mod_rewrite fails to work properly. Most common issues are broken redirects or mod_rewrite rules, which behave differently among the different mod_rewrite versions which comes with different versions of Apache.
Everytime there are such problems its necessery that mod_rewrite’s RewriteLog functionality is used.
Even though the RewriteLog mod_rewrite config variable is well described on httpd.apache.org , I decided to drop a little post here as I’m pretty sure many novice admins might not know about RewriteLog config var and might benefit of this small article.
Enabling mod_rewrite requests logging of requests to the webserver and process via mod_rewrite rules is being done either via the specific website .htaccess (located in the site’s root directory) or via httpd.conf, apache2.conf etc. depending on the Linux / BSD linux distribution Apache config file naming is used.
To enable RewriteLog near the end of the Apache configuration file its necessery to place the variables in apache conf:
1. Edit RewriteLog and place following variables:
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteLog /var/log/rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel does define the level of logging that should get logged in /var/log/rewrite.log
The higher the RewriteLogLevel number defined the more debugging related to mod_rewrite requests processing gets logged.
RewriteLogLevel 9 is actually the highest loglevel that can be. Setting the RewriteLogLevel to 0 will instruct mod_rewrite to stop logging. In many cases a RewriteLogLevel of 3 is also enough to debug most of the redirect issues, however I prefer to see more, so almost always I use RewriteLogLevel of 9.
2. Create /var/log/rewrite.log and set writtable permissions
a. Create /var/log/rewrite.log
freebsd# touch /var/log/rewrite.log
b. Set writtable permissons
Either chown the file to the user with which the Apache server is running, or chmod it to permissions of 777.
On FreeBSD, chown permissions to allow webserver to write in file, should be:
freebsd# chown www:www /var/log/rewrite.log
On Debian and alike distros:
debian:~# chown www-data:www-data /var/log/rewrite.log
On CentOS, Fedora etc.:
[root@centos ~]# chown httpd:httpd /var/log/rewrite.log
On any other distribution, you don’t want to bother to check the uid:gid, the permissions can be set with chmod 777, e.g.:
linux# chmod 777 /var/log/rewrite.log
Next after RewriteLog is in conf to make configs active the usual webserver restart is required.
To restart Apache On FreeBSD:
freebsd# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2 restart
...
To restart Apache on Debian and derivatives:
debian:~# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
...
On Fedora and derivive distros:
[root@fedora ~]# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
...
Its common error to forget to set proper permissions to /var/log/rewrite.log this has puzzled me many times, when enabling RewriteLog’s logging.
Another important note is when debugging for mod_rewrite is enabled, one forgets to disable logging and after a while if the /var/log partition is placed on a small partition or is on an old server with less space often the RewriteLog fills in the disk quickly and might create website downtimes. Hence always make sure RewriteLog is disabled after work rewrite debugging is no longer needed.
The way I use to disable it is by commenting it in conf like so:
#RewriteLogLevel 9
#RewriteLog /var/log/rewrite.log
Finally to check, what the mod_rewrite processor is doing on the fly its handy to use the well known tail -f
linux# tail -f /var/log/rewrite.log
A bunch of time in watching the requests, should be enough to point to the exact problem causing broken redirects or general website malfunction.
Cheers 😉

Thursday, March 1st, 2012 I have a Godaddy account for already 4 years or so and with time I tend to login and use Godaddy to set DNS records or buy a new domain way more often if compared to the old days.
By default GoDaddy creates numeric accounts names (Customer Number as they call it), example:
Godaddy username: 1424915
Godaddy password: myVerySecretRandomPassword123
Being in necessity to often login to godady it started getting more and more annoying with every single day as it is pretty hard for me to memorize the not so intuitive 1424915, therefore everytime I had to login to Godaddy, I had to check in my notes again and again what is my Username
This costs me a lot of time, so finally in a quick chat with a friend today, he mentioned about having the same issue and explained he just recently changed his (Customer Number) numeric Username to a easy to remember login text string.
I know that changing the Username from an ID to a word in GoDaddy is possible for a long time and I even did it before for one Godaddy Account owned by a company. However just until today, I did not changed my GoDaddy Account number to intuitive text phrase for the simple reason I did not have time to check, how changing the account username and password in Godaddy could be done
Anyways today this friends small chat, triggered me to take few seconds and check in Godaddy's website navigation on how changing the ugly number ID to a shiny username was possible. This is how this little article got born 🙂
So enough jibberish, here is how I changed my Customer Number username to a desired easy to memorize:
1. Login to Godaddy with your Customer Number
2. Navigate to My Account -> Update Security Settings
My Account -> Update Security Settings
Fill in properly all the input (red start) fields seen on the screenshot and click Save Changes . Once you see a message settings are Saved. It is generally a good idea to open some different kind of browser and try logging in with the new set username and password.
Update Security Settings is also the place for people who would like to change Godaddy account password.
Be 100% sure to check the new username/password pair in another browser (without logging out with the one you just use) or you will end up unable to login to your godaddy account !!!
Its also a good idea in any case to, have written down somewhere on paper Godaddy's Call-in-PIN, this is just a precaution to assure yourself that you will be able to restore your account username/password in case if lost.
If you haven't used the Call In PIN, I hope you will never need to. Anyways just as a matter of info this PIN can help you in some cases where you have to identify yourself as the owner of your Godaddy account (Something like the Debit / Credit cards CVV code [positioned on the card back] ). I've only used the Call in PIN in few occasions by Godaddy's tech support, where I contacted them directly by email to ask some specific questions on how to do stuff inside my account.
I know this article, will be boring for some of my readers, so if this is the case please accept my humble apologies … anyways it will help me orient myself in the future if I forgot how I did it and hopefully will be useful to someone else.

Saturday, February 18th, 2012 I've hit an interesting article in Wikipedia called Comparison of BSD operating systems
The article explains basic difference between different BSD (Berkley Software Distributions) and what is the primary accent of each of the BSD (free software OS) distributions. It also reveals basic details about the history and how each of the BSD's came to existence. I recommend to anyone interested in free software as it is just a great reading for everybody interested in FOSS.
The most interesting part of the wiki thread is a bar chart, provided by BSD Certification Group research conducted in September 2005.
The above diagram is showing the proportion of users of each BSD variant from the BSD usage survey prior conducted
The research is already 6 years old, and unfortunately as of time of writting seems to be the only publicly available. Though being outdated, I believe generally the bar charts distributions along different BSD variants would be mostly true. The only big difference will be probably in PC-BSD which is not even on the diagram should have outbeaten DragonflyBSD's use. Since there is no public data available for 2012 and the years 2005 – 2012 for the use percantage of each of the BSD distributions, I've thought about a pseudo way to get some general statistics on each of the BSD distributions popularity. The methodology to gather the required statistics comes to simply, type in Google each of the BSD variant "code names" (e.g. freebsd, netbsd, openbsd etc.) and look at the number of results returned. It seems logical the more results distribution keyword searched returns, the bigger the probability of more users to be involved in developing or using the respective BSD variant.
Below you see the results, I've gathered in my quick "google research":
As you can see in the above data FreeBSD is still probably leading the BSD use, the public interest to OpenBSD – BSD focused on security has significantly grow since the last 6 years. Next it is seen the PC-BSD users base has probably tremendously increased and according to the Google results returned it is probably on a 3rd place by users interest (use?) followed by NetBSD with only 1.47% of all the BSD users. Lastly with only 0.99%, orders Dragonfly BSD which no longer is so popular as a Desktop BSD based OS as it used to be back in 2005.
Again the presented diagram results are based on only on the factor of Google BSD variant popularity and hence shouldn't be consired too trustworthy, still I'm sure it gives a general idea on how used is each of the BSD variants as of Jan 2012.

Saturday, May 28th, 2011 If you’re installing some PHP based CMS/blog like (Joomla or WordPress) or some kind of template and suddenly you stumble on a error:
Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /usr/local/www/websitedomain/templates/youbizz/html/modules.php on line 78
In order to fix that the file which spits the error message, in my case modules.php needs to be modified and the split php function has to be substituted with explode on every occuring place.
I experienced this error on FreeBSD 7_2 with php version 5.3.5 installed from ports.
This simple fix works fine.

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011 This content editor is really awesome compared to the default editor TinyMCE. If you want to have an options rich content editor for Joomla, then this is the one for you 🙂
download JCE Content Editor here
After installing the JCE Joomla content editor in order to enable it as a default editor you need to go to the following location:
Site -> Global Configuration -> Default WYSIWYG Editor
There place on Editor TinyMCE and change it with Editor – JCE
Now go to edit some article, and you will see the difference in the editor 🙂
7. Add gallery Joomla capabilities with sigplus (Image Gallery Plus) and Very Simple Image Gallery
sigplus Image Gallery Plus is a straightforward way to add image or photo galleries to a Joomla article with a simple syntax. It takes a matter of minutes to set up a gallery but those who are looking for a powerful gallery solution will not be disappointed either: sigplus is suitable for both beginner and advanced users.

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011 One of the contact forms running on a FreeBSD server configured to work on top of Apache+MySQL suddenly stopped working.
The errors that appeared on the webpage during a page request to the form url was:
Fatal error: Class 'SimpleXMLElement' not found in /var/www/joomla/plugins/system/plugin_googlemap2_helper.php on line 2176 Fatal error: Class 'JLoader' not found in /var/www/joomla/plugins/libraries/loader.php on line 161
As you see in the output the website which was causing the issues was running a Joomla version 1.5.23 Stable configured with RSForm!ver 1.5.x (as a contact form solution) and Google Maps version 2.13b plugins.
The Google Map from Google Maps plugin and the RSform were configured to appear on one physical configured article in Joomla and seemed to work just until now. However yesterday suddenly the error messages:
Fatal error: Class ‘SimpleXMLElement’ not found
Fatal error: Class ‘JLoader’ not found
came out of nothing, it’s really strange as I don’t remember doing any changes to either Joomla or the PHP installation on this server.
There is one more guy who has access to the Joomla installation which I suspect might have changed something in the Joomla, but this scenario is not very likely.
Anyways as the problem was there I had to fix it up. Obviously as the error message Fatal error: Class ‘SimpleXMLElement’ not found reported the server php simplexml was missing!
Just to assure myself the php simplexml extension is not present on the server I used the classical method of setting up a php file with phpinfo(); in it to check all the installed php extensions on the server.
Finally to solve the issue I had to install the module from ports php5-simplexml , e.g.:
freebsd# cd /usr/ports/textproc/php5-simplexml
freebsd# make install clean
Afterwards to make the new settings take place I did restart of my Apache server:
freebsd# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2 restart
Syntax OK
Stopping apache2.
Waiting for PIDS: 63883.
Performing sanity check on apache2 configuration:
Syntax OK
Starting apache2.
Now my Joomla contact form is back to normal 😉
If someone has any idea why this error occured without any php or server modifications, and how comes that all worked fine beforehand even though I did not have the simplexml module instlaled on the server o_O, I would be enormously greatful.

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011 For a number of time I’ve been planning to change my blog comments placement. Until this very day however I’ve kept the default wordpress theme’s Comments button placement.
I realize the default Comments button placement is a bit hard to see and not that much intuitive for the user that enters my blog for a first time.
My first guess was that there might be somewhere a wordpress plugin which will allow me to adjust my comments button placement.
After some research online and a realization that probably there is no such plugin existing yet. I’ve forced myself to tune it up myself.
It was clear to me that in order to change the it will be necessery to edit the WordPress templates files. I’m not a designer and when I hear about templates I usually get scared, however I took the time to take a look at the default wordpress template and find out actually that template modifications is actually rather easier than I thought.
My previous idea was that in order to edit templates you have to be some kind of CSS and HTML guru (which I’m not). Nevertheless it seems that in order to play and adjust in a good way the templates you don’t need ot be a pro.
Even an uneducated fool like myself can easily do almost everything he thinks of throughout few lines of code in the wp templates.
To get back to the major topic thanks God after a bit of review and reading of wordpress.org documentation and some user forums. I’ve figured out that in order to change my Comments placement you need to modify the file:
- blog/wp-content/themes/default/index.php
In index.php find the line starting with:
You will notice within this opened paragraph the php code:
<?php the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', '
'); ?> Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?>
| <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?>
<?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?>
This is the actual default theme php code that makes the wordpress Comments or No Comments that maes the comments appear on the blog.
Now I’ve decided to let this be as it is but add one more Comment button to wordpress on a different location that is more appealing to my blog visitors
After quick evaluation I’ve determined that probably the best location that the Comments button should have is right after the end of the post text
If you think my idea for button placement is appropriate, to set this location for the Comments button, you will have to find the follwoing code in index.php:
<div class="entry">
<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
</div>
Right after the end of this code place the following code:
<?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?>
</div>

Thursday, April 7th, 2011 I’ve recently realized that the Easy Adsenser plugin which I used to place google adsense advertisements on my blog, is probably stealing some portion of my clicks.
There were some fraud reports on wordpress.org by people who have found out the author of Easy Adsenser rips clicks, by showing sometimes his own ad code even if the plugin is configured to not grant any clicks as a donation to the plugin author.
I don’t know how true this story is and I don’t have the time to observe the whole plugin code to say for sure if the rumors about clicks stealing are true.
However as I’m paying my internet access (that guarantees) by blog to stay online with some adsense advertisements and the adsense revenues are either equal to my internet tax or a bit higher (depending on the month), it’s quite unpleasent to hear someone is stealing from the ads clicks which still generate very low revenue.
Thus I took the time to read some blog posts online which gave me some hints on how can I directly place the google adsense advertisement code into the theme template files
My goal was to place one google adsense ad to appear right after the title of each article and one to appear as a vertical bar in the end of my sidebar.
In this article in short I’ll explain how I achieved this banner placement via the default wordpress template which obviously I use on my blog.
Let’s start:
1. Add adsense to the index page of the blog
Edit your blog/wp-content/themes/default/index.php file
Therein find the code:
<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn" role="main">
and right after this line put the following php code:
<?php
$postnum = 1;
$showadsense1 = 1;
?>
This code is necessery to assure the adsense code only appears on the first blog post from the blog index page
2. Find the code:
<small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by
Immediately after the code place the php code:
<?php if ($postnum == $showadsense1) {
echo '<div class="adsense" style="float:right;margin:12px;">;paste here your adsense code ...</div>';
} ?>
<?php $postnum++; ?>
Now with this changes, 1 adsense advertisements should start appearing right after your first and only on your blog post, next step is to place manually one more vertical adsense banner.
2. Place adsense vertical bannre in wordpress blog sidebar
Login with admin user to wordpress and navigate to:
Appearance -> Widgets
Among the available widgets you will notice the widget called Text click over: Add to add this widget to the list of widgets to appear on your blog sidebar.
Afterwards look up over the Sidebar list of widgets find the newly added Text widget and click over Edit to modify it’s content.
Further on put a Title for the widget or choose to leave the title field as blank if you don’t want a name to appear.
On the next textbox just paste your adsense code and you’re done. A simple refresh of your wordpress blog index page should show you a vertical banner with your adsense code.
! Note that if you have recently issued the adsense code it will take about 10-20 minutes until the banner starts showing up.
Until now wordpress is configured to show adsense adverts on the blog main page, as a next step we need to place the same adsense adverts to appear whether a single blog post is reviewed (opened).
Place an adsense advertisements to single posts opened
For that purpose it’s necessery to edit the file single.php it’s again located in blog/wp-content/themes/default
Once again you will first need to find the code:
if (have_posts())
Put the code after the end of the line on a new line:
<?php
// below code is for adsense
$postnum = 1;
$showadsense1 = 1;
?>
Next lookup in the file for the code:
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
On a new line after it place:
<?php if ($postnum == $showadsense1) { echo '<div class="adsense" style="float:right;margin:12px;"><script type="text/javascript"> place here your adsense code </div>';
} ?>
<?php $postnum++; ?>
That’s all now the adsense advertisements will be also showing on the single blog posts reviews found via some search engine (google, yahoo etc.).
Hope this article will be helpful to somebody, if so drop me a thanks line in comments 😉

Now I’ve decided to let this be as it is but add one more Comment button to wordpress on a different location that is more appealing to my blog visitors
After quick evaluation I’ve determined that probably the best location that the Comments button should have is right after the end of the post text
If you think my idea for button placement is appropriate, to set this location for the Comments button, you will have to find the follwoing code in index.php:
<div class="entry"><?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
</div>
Right after the end of this code place the following code:
<?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></div>
