Apache HTTP Server 2.4.2 Released

admin — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 12:04:58 +0000

The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project has announced the release of version 2.4.2 of the Apache HTTP Server (“Apache”). This version of Apache is the second GA release of the new generation 2.4.x branch of Apache HTTPD and represents fifteen years of innovation by the project. Apache HTTP Server 2.4.2 is recommended over all previous releases.
This version of Apache is principally a security and bug fix release, including the following security fix:

SECURITY: CVE-2012-0883 (cve.mitre.org) envvars: Fix insecure handling of LD_LIBRARY_PATH that could lead to the current working directory to be searched for DSOs.

Apache 2.4 Enhancements and Improvements
Apache 2.4 offers numerous enhancements, improvements, and performance boosts over the 2.2 codebase. This release requires the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) version 1.4.x and APR-Util version 1.4.x. The APR libraries must be upgraded for all features of httpd to operate correctly. This release also builds on and extends the Apache 2.2 API. Modules written for Apache 2.2 will need to be recompiled in order to run with Apache 2.4, and require minimal or no source code changes.

When upgrading or installing this version of Apache, please remember that if you intend to use Apache with one of the threaded MPMs (other than the Prefork MPM), you must ensure that any modules you will be using (and the libraries they depend on) are thread-safe.

Finished a year long project

Hmmm, just finished a Magento pharmacy website for UK client. Wanna know about the client?. Sorry, he will kick me out, NDA signed

It took pretty long time to finish it because of n number of revisions in design and scope including customizations like login based categories, forms, quote submissions etc. We appreciate developers team patience and client coordination level. We wish to work for them soon.

Word Press website Domain transfer

admin — Sat, 17 Mar 2012 08:15:22 +0000

Recently we had a project where the client was requesting us to transfer his domain. Hmm I thought it is pretty simple, of course it is as long as you are okay with DB import export etc.

I have listed out steps here:

1) Make a back up of everything including DB
2) Go to control panel and then to PHPmyadmin (if it is shared server, contact your hosting company)
3) Export the DB into SQL format
4) Open the SQL file using any editor.
5) Find and Replace, www.olddomain.com to www.newdomain.com
6) Delete all existing tables in the dB
7) Export the SQL script
Transfer the complete source files to new domain
9) Your website should work now
10) You should have used blog site url function to get the url, theme path, image path etc.

I hope this helps up to an extent

CKFinder

You might have heard about CKFinder if you know WYSIWYG editors. Last week we were working for a Drupal website where client asked us to give photo uploading feature for admins while creating pages. And this lead to “CKFinder” discovery.

First you need to install CKEditor and configure for necessary content types. By default CKEditor does not have photo uploading feature. You can upload the images through FTP and use the URL in the editor but CKFinder makes things much more easy.

Try the following steps:

1. Download CKFinder from it’s website
2. Move the folder to CKEditor folder
3. Change CKEditor settings in Drupal
4. Update Config.php in CKFinder folder
5. Update Settings.php in default folder

Just google to know more.

Heard Pinterest?

Actually I thought of copying some best blog posts to over here . But didn’t like it so I will write what I like to. It can be about anything .

Yesterday (not sure ) I read an article in “The Hindu”, about “Pinterest” and sounded something interesting. So I made this dare attempt of writing about it, ending up learning something new.

Normally in your office, you will be pinning your favorite photographs, pictures, etc. If you do it online, it is “Pinterest”. Sounds interesting? Just google for Pinterest, you will get it more.

I appreciate the team. It’s one of the best recent creative I have seen.

It’s as though heavy rain has stopped after raining heavily.
It’s as though heavy volume song stopped after playing for a while.

It is how we are feeling after working for a telugu movie website, Dookudu. It was fun working on it. It is just a HTML website with our design. We were on toes working and updating the schedule hourly. This client from UK is really friendly and transparent. Wish to work for more websites to him.

Whenever we see this movie websites, our website flashes in our mind for a second. Banner, Light box, Audio player has really come good. It’s our short delivery baby .

What is Social Media?

The best way to define social media is to break it down. Media is an instrument on communication, like a newspaper or a radio, so social media would be a social instrument of communication.

In Web 2.0 terms, this would be a website that doesn’t just give you information, but interacts with you while giving you that information. This interaction can be as simple as asking for your comments or letting you vote on an article, or it can be as complex as Flixster recommending movies to you based on the ratings of other people with similar interests.

What’s new in FB

With over 250 million photos uploaded each day, sharing pictures is one of the most popular activities on Facebook. We are constantly working on making Facebook Photos better and today we’re introducing some improvements to the way you experience photos.

Bigger Photos, Faster Loading

Now, the photos you share on Facebook are bigger (720 pixels to 960 pixels) and load twice as fast, giving you quicker access to more detailed images. Photos you’ve already uploaded to your profile will also be displayed at this higher resolution.

Why Word Press

WordPress is the preferred platform for any kind of site, including online business sites. It is true that there are special ecommerce platforms, such as osCommerce but even for ecommerce sites many people prefer WordPress. WordPress is extremely reliable and this is one of the reasons to why so many web masters prefer to have their online business on it.

However, reliability is just one of the many reasons as to why WordPress is the best platform for your online business. If you choose a reliable WordPress hosting plan, it is, of course, even better. There are many web hosting guides, for instance Web Hosting Search, where you can find the latest information about which WordPress hosts that are the most reliable and which aren’t.
