We had some computers showing a set of numbers as the computer on a mapped drive. They happened to be some numbers auto-added by Dell setup, I think. But that’s not the issue. It’s just showing the wrong thing on a mapped drive. For example: Running “net view” shows a […]
There’s lots of reasons to boot to a USB drive, but mainly I am interested in booting to a Pen/Key/Jump drive for utility purposes. Like making drive images, partition resizing, or other system maintenance. One of the main problems I am running into these days, as a service technician, is […]
I was using a Jetdirect print server (parallel) to an HP 960c printer. I got Event ID 6161 when printing with a non-admin user and the spooled docuements said Error. The fix was to set the Jetdirect TCP/IP port on the server as the IP address of the Jetdirect, NOT […]
Uber quick howto: (based on Debian) 1. Make sure ssh, rsync and sudo are installed and working. 2. Add a user account, on remote system. 2.a Add a certificate with openssl or ssh-keygen (look that up elsewhere) 2.b Make sure the cert is unencrypted with no password. Yes, that is […]
I spent quite a while searching for solutions to this issue: Reading Package Lists… Error! E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room I found several posts and sites that mention updating the cache limit, but that did not work. Here’s what I found though. First, create the file if it […]
This used to drive me nuts. Go to Group Policy, set the Last Username display setting to enabled, and you still see the username at logon. What? Most sites you find when searching for this will tell you to adjust the policy (group or local). OR, they will tell you […]

Download and unpack Apache and PHP. MySQL 5 is install already. (as per another blog: https://www.1stbyte.com/2006/04/02/mysql-5-upgrade-compiled/ Make sure you have the proper dev packages. In my case I had to install ‘libflex’ and ‘libgdbm-dev’ using apt-get install to install PHP. (I have Debian Unstable) ./configure –prefix=/var/httpd –enable-so –enable-proxy –enable-proxy-ftp –enable-proxy-http […]
Below is a demonstration of how I created variable amount of columns in a table listing. In this example I was creating a picture gallery and using template files, so you can see even more than the dynamic columns, but anyway… The only bit of important info here are these […]
I just upgraded my MySQL server from 5.0.7 to 5.0.10. I wanted to make a few notes about what I did to set it up. 1. I compiled MySQL 5.0.10-beta. ./configure –prefix=/var/mysql5010 –with-unix-socket-path=/tmp/mysql5.sock –with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static –enable-assembler –with-low-memory –with-named-curses-libs=/lib/libncurses.so.5 –with-mysqld-user=mysql 2. Did a make && make install 3. Stop mysql507 (on my […]
Zope 2.7.6 – Mysql 5.0.7. I have always thought that output parameters from stored procedures were not useable in Zope‘s ZSQL methods, but a few minutes ago is suddenly occured to me that I could do it by using the “sql_delimiter” function in Zope. To be quick, put something like […]
Wow! This has turned out to be a real pain. Below is a process I started, but ran into issues. I could see the module, but it would never make a Wlan0 to access using iwconfig or ifconfig. I tried this on the Trendnet TEW-229UB and the TEW-424UB. Maybe because […]
Here’s a quick post based on a Python Script I made in Zope to display the data from a ZSQL method in a 2 column table layout. Not that big of a deal, but I wanted to save this because it took a little bit of thought and some learning. […]
Ok, here’s my configure command: ./configure –with-apxs2=/path/to/httpd/bin/apxs –with-mysql=/path/to/mysql –with-mysql-sock=/tmp/mysql.sock –prefix=/path/to/httpd/php –with-config-file-path=/path/to/httpd/php –enable-force-cgi-redirect –disable-cgi –with-zlib –with-gettext –with-gdbm –with-gd –with-png –with-png-dir=/usr/lib –with-jpeg –with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib –with-pdo-mysql –with-mysqli I ran into errors trying to run the function imagecreatefromjpeg and imagesx and imagesy. And the system could not find the jpeg libs. On Debian Sarge, you […]
Recently I asked myself, “If I had to pick 3 things that are most difficult in web design to achieve, and achieve all at once, what would I pick?” I thought about that and decided it really boils down to these three things: ( I may rephrase them later ) […]
So I’ve spent the last 6 months learning more about Javascript and how to use different AJAX libs. After trying to create some apps using it, I can say this. It is best used either in small doses on basic web apps (bloggers, forums, forms), or use it extensively on […]
A few minutes ago I ran into a blog by someone that said something that needed to be said. IT Certs are not really worth getting. I just wanted to save my comments on my own blog to reiterate and edit later. Here’s my comments on his blog: Having spent […]
Quick, before I forget!! Tired of “can’t return a result set in the given context” errors when calling stored procedures in Mysql 5? The ultra fast how-to on returning records from a multi-column multi-record stored procedure in Mysql 5 using Zope/Python! In the ZMySQLDA, edit the db.py file and add […]
I just spent an hour trying to figure this out, AGAIN! To compile Zlib support into your Python interpreter, do this: 1. Install the Zlib-dev package for your distribution. (you probably have zlib already, but not the dev package) On Ubuntu it’s called ‘zlib1g-dev’, on others it might just be: […]
I just listened to a podcast that talked about spam protection solutions and standards. As I listened I couldn’t help but think about the fact that standards dont work unless EVERBODY adhere’s to them. As I run a business, I want to receive emails from my customers without issue. If […]
