How To Change The Joomla Icon In The Browser Address bar PDF Print E-mail
Written by James Raaymakers

This will explain how I changed the Joomla Icon in the browsers address bar and page tab. 1st this works on Joomla 1.5 as it appears most templates use the admin favicon.ico.  

There are 2 websites where you can create an icon on line.

http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/

http://www.degraeve.com/favicon

After creating your icon, rename the current favicon.ico to faviconico.old in the //administrator/templates/Khepri directory then upload your new favicon.ico in it's place. That worked for me.

Ubuntu Loads GRUB Promt After Update (WUBI) PDF Print E-mail

A copy of this is in my Forums for discussion....

I installed WUBI 9.10 on a Dell Inspiron 5100 32bit. Was running great till I updated it. After updating it booted to a SH:GRUB> prompt. I did some online research and found a series of commands to get booted into Ubuntu 9.10 then from a terminal window run >sudo update-grub2 which fixed the issue. The key for me was figuring out whether I was on sda, sda1 or sda2 and which version I was on. Checkout the below commands

sh:grub> linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-19-generic root=/dev/sda2 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro
sh:grub> initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-19-generic
sh:grub> boot

After typing "sh:grub> linux /boot/vm" press the TAB key. You get a list of choices. Use the newest vmlinuz-x.xx-xx-generic. Do not use the TAB key for any of the other parts of the command, for example the root=. It will not give you a good list. I've BOLDED the only variables in these commands. The version and the sda?. Also note that in the "initrd" command the version must be the same.

Once you are booted into Ubuntu, open a terminal window and type "sudo update-grub2", press enter, type your root password, press enter again. If you do not see any errors you should be ok. Try to reboot and it should boot ok.

Thats what fixed it for me. Hope this helps for you too.

Here is the forum I found my fix on...

Something To Remember When Taking an Exchange Mailstore Offline With a BES Server PDF Print E-mail
Written by James Raaymakers

I learned this this last weekend. You have a Blacberry Enterprise Server in your Exchange 2003 environment. You have an Exchange Server with multiple Storage Groups and need to take a few mailstores offline for an extended amount of time. I would make sure the BES-ADMIN mailbox gets moved to a mailstore that is not going offline. If it is on one of the mailstores that is going offline, your BES will will not forward messages as it is unable to access the BES-ADMIN mailbox.  Your Application Event log will begin filling up with 10277 Errors from the Blackberry Messaging Agent saying "Blackberry Messaging Agent (ServerName) Agent 1 failed to start, Error code 5305"

 
Easy way to remember linux file perissions PDF Print E-mail
Written by James Raaymakers

This isn't exactly how the system stores it, but it's very close and is just an easy way to remember by using binary.

1. Consider each permission for owner, group, other to be three bits each hence

Owner  -  Group  - Other

  000    -    000    -   000

2. Remember this is binary so the value of each place of each of the three bits is  4, 2, and 1 so.

000

Configure Squid as a Reverse Proxy to Serve Multiple Physical Web Servers from one Static IP PDF Print E-mail
Written by James Raaymakers   
Monday, 18 January 2010 20:16
I had been looking for a solution to this issue for months. I have one static ip from my ISP. I have an IIS server running DotNetNuke and an Apache2 webserver running JOOMLA (The one serving this content). How could I serve multiple websites running on two or more different servers from one static IP. 

I have a hardware firewall appliance protecting my network.

Port 80 was forwarded to my IIS DotNetNuke server. I built a VM Ubuntu 9.04 linux server and installed Squid on it using apt-get. (Had it up and running with squid in less than 30 minutes. Try that with Windows Server 2003 and ISA Server 2004.) I performed the Squid config as outlined below. I have internal DNS running (Windows ActiveDirectory with DNS) so I created DNS zones for each of my web domains with www host records one with the IP of my JOOMLA box the rest to my IIS box. Configured my firewall to send all port 80 traffic to my Squid box.  It worked the 1st time. Cool! Read how I did it by clicking the "Read More..." link below.
