  Fedora Core – virtual hosts httpd 

  I’ve reinstalled my pc with Fedora Core recently, because of the extended SELinux and more tools that are at my disposal. A problem I always had with ubuntu was the configuration of Apache virtual hosts. Once they where installed I needed to put them into the host file and each time I reconnected to a network the NetworkManager rewrote the hosts file annoying me and the fact that if one was configured localhost would also begin pointing to it, a rather nasty thing.

  First you need to open the console and login with your root user, type su and fedora will already know what to do.

  You need to shutdown the httpd servic deamon with the command :
  

  1
  /etc/init.d/httpd stop

  You will have to open /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, once opened you will have to locate the section on virtual hosts and you should see an example that is already commented out., I edited the files with nano in the console.

  ### Section 3: Virtual Hosts

  Instead of telling you which lines to uncomment, I’m going to show you below, the stanzas to add to the Virtual Host section to get companyABC.com and companyDEF.com websites running:

  After you have added the host(s), save the file. At this point, you will need to add the appropriate records to your DNS server to make these domains reachable by anyone on the network. If you have no access to a DNS server (BIND9), or you just want to test the configuration, just edit your /etc/hosts file. Here is what my file looks like:

  1
  # Do not remove the following line, or various programs
  2
  # that require network functionality will fail.
  3
  127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain localhost
  4
  127.0.0.1               host1.loc
  5
  127.0.0.1               host2.loc
  6
  

  
  Once hosts is saved you just restart your server and everything should work without a problem

    This is if you have a server distribution installed on a laptop like I do for development purposes.

    Note that this works best with a server distribution because,if you take, for instance the Ubuntu desktop edition an make a webserver for development purposes you will have disable NetworkManager
    or each time you connect to a different network rewrite the /etc/hosts to be able to access your websites via the link specified by you.

    Fedora, RHEL and centOS use /etc/resolv.conf for the IP-address currently used by the PC where Ubuntu for instance use /etc/hosts and thus rewrites it as soon as you change from network.

    A friend pointed out that When in production you should patch the server, here’s a good article describing howto: http://mitka.us/articles/mpm-itk/

  YII framework configuration 

  I’m toying with the Yii Framework for some time now and even if i cost me a lot of anger and frustration in the beginning I’m starting to like it more and more, alas I do have to say that the documentation isn’t always that clear and for someone who begins or who’ll write some large applications the configuration file can be a hassle so here’s my solution:

  Brake down the configuration file in multiple files, this will give you some speed disadvantage and some will  saying that I’m raping Yii framework purpose for speed but at least to me it seems more clear

  This is the protected.config/main.php

  dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'..',
  'name'=>'WEBSITENAME',
  'modules'=>array(
  'users'=>array(
  //sub modules in the module users
  'modules'=>array(
  'messaging',
  'profile',
  'dashboard',
  )
  ),
  'about',
  'forums',
  ),
  // preloading 'log' component active loading
  'preload'=>array('log'),
  
  // autoloading model and component classes lazy loading
  // I make the difference between CformModel and CActiveRecord
  'import'=>array(
  'application.models.*',
  'application.models.forms.*',
  'application.models.database.*',
  ),
  
  // application components
  'components'=>array(
  // enable cookie-based authentication
  'user'=>array('allowAutoLogin'=>true),
  
  // data relinquished to database.php
  // for easy access and usability as also for the future
  // installation procedure, it's less to write to a file
  'db'=>include(dirname(__FILE__).'/database.php'),
  
  // for a better overview we exculded url routes to a seperate file
  'urlManager'=>include(dirname(__FILE__).'/routes.php'),
  
  //authentication component needs data from db for CdbConnection
  'authManager'=>array(
  'class'=>'CDbAuthManager',
  'connectionID'=>'db',
  'defaultRoles'=>array('authenticated', 'guest'),
  ),
  
  //security measures
  'request'=>array(
  'enableCsrfValidation'=>true,
  'enableCookieValidation'=>true,
  ),
  ),
  
  // application-level parameters that can be accessed
  // using Yii::app()->params['paramName']
  // uncomment the following if you want static params in the application
  //'params'=>array(include(dirname(__FILE__).'/params.php'))
  );

  database.php
  

  'CDbConnection',
  'connectionString'=>'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=mysql',
  //'connectionString'=>'pgsql:host=localhost;port=5432;dbname=mysql',
  'username' => 'root',
  'password' => '',
  );
  ?>
  

  routes.php
  

  'path', // path or get
  'urlSuffix' => '', //.html .whateverextentionyouwant
  'showScriptName' => true,
  'rules'=>array(
  'users/recovery/perimeterSecurity/'=>'users/recovery/perimeterSecurity',
  ),
  );
  ?>
  

  param.php
  

  //nothing in it at the moment

    I’m a bit torn between speed and programming luxury and because sometimes Yii is poorly documented, nice example code but not all the options are given actually sometimes very few.

    I’m currently doing models and testing them in Yii and i can’t get my head really around it, Codeigniter was really easy to use in the model logic but now what’s the logic, Model driven or controller driven because of the AR layer and the model sql query which seems implemented in the controllers. I thought controllers were just a gateway between view and model because it’s the model that usually contains all the logic not the controller.

  A freepascal clock 

  A basical console clock written in freepascal by me, even if it’s an old language, I have to practice on it for school.

  Here you got the code, I’ve added little comments but it isn’t a lot. hh = hour mm = minutes ss= seconds

  (More …)

  C & FPC 

  C programming and pascal, that’s what I’m doing for the moment, I have an exam in 5 days, man I hate it.

  Just finished a clock in C: you give the time for tomorrow and he’ll count it down. But it’s basic:

  01
  02
  #include
  03
  #include
  04
   
  05
  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  06
  {
  07
  long hh, mm,th, tm, ts;
  08
   
  09
  printf("Reveil a quelle heure(24) minutes? \t");
  10
  scanf("%ld", &hh);
  11
  scanf("%ld", &mm);
  12
   
  13
  th= hh+24; //ceci pr une journee
  14
  tm = 60 - mm;
  15
  ts=0;
  16
  while(th>=hh)
  17
  {
  18
  if(ts>0){ts-=1; sleep(1000);}
  19
  else if(tm>0){ts=60; tm--;}
  20
  else if (th>hh){ts=60; tm=60; th--;}
  21
  else if (th=hh){if(ts>0){ts--;}}
  22
  system("cls");
  23
  printf("%ld : %ld : %ld", th, tm, ts);
  24
   
  25
  }
  26
   
  27
  system("PAUSE");
  28
  return 0;
  29
  }

  <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">I'm more or less pleased but still the infinite refreshments aren't what I wanted and sorry about the comment but in exercises I don't use them</span> <a href="http://webscriptz.be/2008/08/29/c-fpc/108#more-108&quot; class="more-link">(More ...)</a>
