For those with staff development money to burn and who fancy some conference action, I’m speaking at the Dutch PHP Conference in June, on Document Classification in PHP (the whole conference is in English by the by). The line up is pretty impressive this year, with three tracks over two days and being in Amsterdam [...]
If, while log rotating with the lovely logrotate, you get ‘sh: line 2: postrotate: command not found’ then you’re probably missing an endscript. This took me a while to notice. I found a number of people with the same problem, such as this chap, and if you look at his script he’s done exactly what [...]

On the Mysql proxy step of the above guide, untar [...]
I’ve had a really annoying issue with a linux (Centos) VMWare image in Fusion on Mac OSX, where the permissions on files created by the VM on the HGFS shared folder meant that it couldn’t write to those files (or directories) subsequently. The way to solve this is to set the uid in /etc/fstab on [...]

add non-free to the ftp.debian.org entry:

deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main non-free
Then
aptitude install sun-java5-jdk
I’ve always been a bit crap at Debian, it never quite works how I expect it to!
I wanted to add a shared folder to a linux VMWare image in VMWare player, and got thoroughly nowhere. Thanks to the magic of EasyVMX though, I know now the secritz. In the .vmx file of the VM , add:
sharedFolder.option = “alwaysEnabled”
sharedFolder0.present = “TRUE”
sharedFolder0.enabled = “TRUE”
sharedFolder0.readAccess = “TRUE”
sharedFolder0.writeAccess = “TRUE”
sharedFolder0.hostPath = “D:\projects\”
sharedFolder0.guestName = “share”
sharedFolder0.expiration = [...]
Mr Gray and I have recently been working on a project where the subversion repos is IP restricted, and we’ve been tunelling over to a machine that is in the IP allow list to get access. Because the repository is accessed via WebDAV, it either means putting our local web servers on another port than [...]
