Apache HTTP Server 2.4.2 Released

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

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
8) 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 :P .

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.
