SAP BO (Business Objects) Time Outs
What a nightmare this was.!! To keep a connection open from browser to Business Objects (BO) , you have to review at least the following timeout settings… 1. at the load balancer level. 2. at the proxy server level (like in httpd.conf if you’re using mod_proxy) 3. in the following files.. -tomcat : web.xml -tomcat : server.xml — set connectionTimeout set to 0 either on the 8080 or ajp port. -infoview app web xml -platform services...

download an entire website recursively
So you’re putting up a new website, but you just can’t imagine life without the one you have. You think maybe you want them both, but you know the old one sucks, so you just want to stick it in the back of the internet somehow… How can you download the entire site, recursively, and still show it on another website? You could do SFTP, but then you’d have go go in and edit code like mad to add /oldsite into all the links. ick. What... [Read More...]
Fusemail.com — grrrr!
GRRR.!! I say the industry of web hosting is changing and we all need to move mail to mail places and web to web places. Blacklists, spam, zombie farms, all that stuff, it’s becoming a full time job for small business hosting companies, and we just shouldn’t do it. Email is just too important for our clients, you can’t afford single hour of downtime anymore, much less three days on the black list because some client reset a password... [Read More...]
chkconfig – init.d
In UNIX systems, there are a few different ways to get stuff to automatically come back up after a restart. CHKCONFIG In RHEL5, you’re probably going to start and stop programs with the syntax. /sbin/service httpd restart In order to do that, you need to do a few things. First, make sure there’s a shell script in /etc/init.d called httpd. And in that script there need to be two special lines, one with a run level map, and another with... [Read More...]
RHEL5 Packagement Management
RPM To list all installed packages — and filter for oracle things.. rpm -qa |grep -i oracle To remove a package.. rpm -e oracle-instantclient11.2-basic-11.2.0.1.0-1 Yum : To search for both installed and available packages, do this. Note the column on the right — shows which repo it is available from, or if it’s installed already. [root@SGProdWs1v-O5208 ~]# yum list |grep php php52.x86_64 ... [Read More...]
OSX terminal — follow mouse cursor
for those old school unix people out there who are use to X and WindowMaker.. I just discovered a trick that allows you to change window focus on mouse over, just like in windowmaker. And it doesn’t bring the window fully to the foreground either.. sweet. sudo -u root in a terminal, and then run this command. defaults write com.apple.terminal FocusFollowsMouse -string YES restart terminal, and it’s just like the old days.

Crashed OSX due to too many fonts
It’s simple really, i installed 14,000 fonts using fontbook last night. So, each time the computer tried to launch an app (like word or excel), it tried to lead them each into memory, which meant those programs just never launched. Oh, and when I tried to reboot, forget it. To log in, I waited more than 30 minutes after the hard reset, never saw my desktop. The solution is simple. 1. Reboot the mac while holding the SHIFT key — this brings... [Read More...]
Setting up MySQL Replication [5.3.1] on Ubuntu Server
I got a little sick of a bunch of outsourced dbas ‘working’ for us on a project so I pushed them out and decided it’d be quicker if I just did it myself. (by working, they took over a month just to do what took me four hours — the company is bluewolf by the way.) What you need to do this: Reasonable UNIX system administrator skills. The ability to use the mysql command line. Root access everywhere, root db access db1 ->... [Read More...]
Casting Zend DB results as VO Objects for flex.
It’s really simple really, you just did a zendDB->fetchAll and you want to return the result array as an VO object back to flex. You’d think that this would work. $userObject = (UserVO) $zendDBResult; But it doesn’t. That kind of casting is not built into PHP. Ok open source guys, this is kind of important, but that’s another discussion… So you try this. $zendDBResult = $statement->fetchObject(); $userObject = (object)... [Read More...]
