Hello Wor[l]dPress!

It has been a long time since I last tried WordPress at my Linux box, the same time I had tried Mambo too. Maybe it will take a week or two before I get used to its new configurations or setups. I still don’t know what will happen to the case of my Blogger account. Try it!

Hello WordPress!

It has been a long time since I last tried this blogging software at my Linux box, the same time I had tried Mambo too. Maybe it will take a week or two before I get used to new configurations or setups. I still don’t know what will happen to the case of my previous blog here.

Track-ed List

A week without a single post #includes event.s LIKE:

• UPOffice 2.0 for Linux being released to the wild (finally, I had successfully recompiled it in my Ubuntu 5.10!);
• Sleep-hours;
• Experimentations on my Ubuntu;
• Semestral organizing of stuffs;
• Enrollment;
• Some stuffs++;

More to go! (or lesser posts?)

Apache + MySQL + PHP

I tend to setup such environments during midnights of chatting, testing scripts, and reading articles, but 2 nights ago, I had that nerve to setup Apache, MySQL, and PHP on Ubuntu 5.10. Since I was an old RedHat user, I had this Fedora LAMP guide with me as reference and comparison. I had searched for some guides and had found the French Ubuntu Wiki and the official/English Ubuntu Wiki as great guides to the installation. Some search queries resulted to sites such as the ISP Server Setup and the Ubuntu Starter Guide. The only problem that I had encountered was for the choice of PHP version; I had chosen PHP5. After all the Synaptic stuff, I had only modified the apache2.conf to enable the UserDir part and had also set the mysqladmin password for MySQL. Afterwards, I copied and tested my improvised LAMP setup (the one that I had presented in one of my LAMP lectures in my college) and everything had worked well! Everything was really a breeze!

UP up, Google down!

At last UP was up yesterday, but unfortunately, Google was down due to some 502/503 server error. This event then makes my preference of emails as stated on my previous post, an irony. I was even shocked to know that the laboratories on my college were already converted from Fedora to Ubuntu 5.04. I was the one that installed FC4 for my LAMP lecture and is now suggesting Ubuntu 5.10 after the immediate experience. AFAIK, the setup is not dualboot (with Wind0ze) anymore. I hope that it will be upgraded to Breezy version plus my own build of OpenOffice 2.0 as well.

Mailer-Daemon?

It has been a very long time since I last encountered the demon, Mailer-Daemon! Why? Usually, I got all my contacts with their Gmail accounts for convenience in e-mail sending which eliminates the “User over quota” problem. My team has been working on rebuilding/recompiling (with some customizations) OpenOffice for our university and for this reason, we had managed to set up a single thread on Gmail for our logs, suggestions, problems, and build/bug fixes. Maybe about 10-15 minutes ago, I had received a Delivery Status Notification (Failure) indicating “Technical details of permanent failure: TEMP_FAILURE: DNS Error: Timeout while contacting DNS servers” for the third time. What? After some inspections, I had realized that someone in the team added a non-Gmail address (specifically, UP Webmail) in the recipients list which I had only noticed after receiving the mailer-daemon multiple times. That made me check my account as well but unfortunately, I couldn’t log-on to the webmail and couldn’t even go to the main site of U.P..

Is U.P. DOWN ?
