Firefox 3 is out

By Jan Dembowski on June 17, 2008

Get your latest copy of Firefox 3.0 here. Thursday openSUSE 11 comes out.  It’s like an open source cosmic alignment of the planets.
I’ve avoided the openSUSE 11 beta only because I don’t have the time.  I’ve been kicking around Firefox 3.0 RC version and a couple of days ago, even Greasemonkey got updated for version [...]

WordPress file monitoring

By Jan Dembowski on June 16, 2008

Over a week ago I complained about WordPress users crying security wolf and not being able to recover their blog when the “Bad Thing(tm)” happens.
Since then a real brawl developed on the support forum that could be summed up like so:

Opensuse and apache vhosts

By Jan Dembowski on April 30, 2008

openSUSE 10.3 server upgrade

By Jan Dembowski on February 22, 2008

Moved WP back to primary server

By Jan Dembowski on May 27, 2007

I moved WordPress back to the primary server. I took a working copy of all the files and database from the backup and restored it to the primary and poof it works.

eAccelerator for Opensuse 10.0

By Jan Dembowski on March 11, 2007

Updated: I bumped the version from 0.9.5 to 0.9.5.1.
The source RPM for 0.9.5.1 can be found here.
The 32 bit compiled version can be found here.
I no longer have access to a x86_64 opensuse installation but running this command:
rpmbuild -bb php5-eaccelerator-0.9.5.1-1.src.rpm
should create them on your system.
——————————-
I wanted to add APC or even XCache but found that [...]

Very Bad Upgrade

By Jan Dembowski on January 24, 2007

Sunday I went to Stefan’s to upgrade my main server. It was running Fedora Core 1 and was well past an upgrade.
I wanted to get away from Fedora because it was not supported in a way that I liked….
