I am afraid the deployment of Redmine on CodeTRAX.org will be delayed some more. This is because I am skeptical about using mod_fcgid to run two different kinds of web applications on the same web server. This software is pretty much incomplete when it comes to defining classes of applications and setting limits, like the…
Having hosted my web sites on DSL or ISDN/PSTN lines for the past 7-8 years, I finally decided to move them to a server on a faster and more reliable network. Having the servers at home was fun. Having total control is fun. I liked it a lot, but the quality of the network was…
Usually, the only time I make a change to the timezone setting of the operating system is during the installation time. But it may happen that a change to that setting is necessary. There are several ways to do this, but, as usual, there is only one Right Way™ to set the timezone info in…
It’s been a long time since the last time I had done any cleaning in the G-Loaded Forums. I use the forums for further discussion about the published content, since the comments are disabled after a period of time. During the last months the place had been left at the hands of bots. But this…
mod_dav_svn lets you serve subversion repositories through the Apache HTTP Server. mod_dav.so is a requirement for mod_dav_svn.so. If while setting up mod_dav_svn you see the error “undefined symbol: dav_register_provider“, make sure you check the order that the aforementioned modules are loaded. mod_dav must precede mod_dav_svn: LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so This will resolve the…
End of era for my Fedora based server after almost five years of service. The box now runs CentOS. I had this box at home and it was the only Fedora Server I ever maintained at home or elsewhere. I should state from the beginning that it was only Fedora’s short life-cycle that practically forced…
Redmine is an open source, cross-platform and cross-database project management platform, written using the Ruby on Rails framework. After doing some testing in August 2009, I decided to switch to this platform on CodeTRAX.org. Redmine is so feature rich and well-designed that it is difficult to go unnoticed. Some of the features include:
I officially announce that Project CodeTRAX will not be developed any further. This project was an effort to create a hosting platform for multiple software projects using well-established open source software. Although there had been some silent progress in the development of small administrative utilities and software bridges between the various parts of the system,…
If you check the file where gftp keeps its bookmarks, you will notice that passwords are not stored in clear text. Instead, gftp has used an algorithm to scramble them. I cannot recall if it was one or two years ago when I had decided to write a script to convert the bookmarks from the…
It’s been several months since the last time I had done any coding on Drupal. Although many people might find it trivial, here is a PHP snippet to enter in a custom block, so that the taxonomy terms of the currently displayed node are printed as an unordered list inside that block. Also, each list…
