Enable register_globals in one virtual host

June 27, 2008 – 10:23 pm

one of my client wanna install prestashops.

They want register globals off and session autostart setting to off.

Those setting only applied to their store only, not affect whole setting.

Because I have setting to httpd.conf I just add two lines :

<VirtualHost 222.124.140.27 >
ServerAdmin webmaster@clientdomain.com
DocumentRoot /home/clientname/public_html/store
ServerName store.clientname.com
php_flag register_globals off
php_value session.auto_start 0
</VirtualHost>

Yes, master value leave intact and this setting only available to store.clientname.com

To verifiy it you can use phpinfo().

Learning .htaccess : 101 way

November 22, 2007 – 12:57 pm

My friend got suprised when he see login page on phpmyadmin. It’s not usual form for login as he used to login for.

Well, another postfixadmin admin page also show login page. He ask me to list all tutorial around .htaccess to show for his learning study.

Like I did in Cisco Lab Topology, Cisco Resources or Ipfw Resources , I think I search google too for existing tutorial, Learning On Demand rules

Here’s what I found so far :

.htaccess Tips and Tricks part I, creating this hidden file in the root folder (or any sub folder) of your website, it is possible to set/unset almost all the server directives that can be set in the apache main configuration file. And these changes will take effect only for the root folder in which you created the file and its sub folders. Thus .htaccess file plays an important role in providing fine-grained control to an individual managing a website without giving blanket control of the web server.
.htaccess Tips and Tricks part II, the arcane mysteries of URL rewriting.
Hotlink test for image, find out if your .htaccess protect your images.
Setting Up .htaccess, htaccess can be used in co-ordination with the Apache web server to password protect certain files and directories on your web server.
.htaccess file generator, create .htaccess file online.
How to Configure Your Website Using Htaccess in Linux with Apache, .htaccess files (or "distributed configuration files") provide a way to make configuration changes on a per-directory basis. A file, containing one or more configuration directives, is placed in a particular document directory, and the directives apply to that directory, and all subdirectories thereof.
HOWTO php.ini overrides with .htaccess,
in smaller environments where there are only a few developers and a single product there is seldom a need for different values of a php.ini setting. however, depending on how esoteric some of the developers in your group are, or how many projects you have going simultaneously, or how many devs you have working on the same box or you have production and development running on the same box or whatever; you may at some point find a need to have different values for certain php.ini settings for different environments hosted on a single server. the good news is, if youre running apache, php has integrated support for this need.
.htaccess overrides are especially attractive in shared hosting environments where there is a high likelihood different clients will want different settings for php.ini directives.
.htaccess Based Authentication On Subdirectories.

No more 192.168.1.1, avoid it in your network!

May 24, 2007 – 3:43 pm

Sigh… I hate 192.168.1.1

Since a lot of router or access point built in ip configured for 192.168.1.1 by default

Same ip make ipconflict and make my day ruined

Message for other newbie

don’t use 192.168.1.1 as ip for your server

use other ip like : 192.168.1.112 or 192.168.1.252 it’s safer from 192.168.1.1

get it out from your master plan

Testing mail() function with agrosoft mail server …

November 3, 2006 – 8:55 am

Soon or later every people who learn php will meet PHP lovely function for sending email mail()

Unfortunately many beginner who install only PHP, MYSQL and Apache in windows don’t know how to test their email script like contact form, mailing list etc.

Today, I’ll show how to install mail server software available in internet called Argosoft Mail Server.

Pre requirement :

- Working WAMP application ( I use XAMPP Lite Portable)

Ok, now go to Argosoft website and download Mail Server ( Choose Freeware)

Important Argosoft Mail Server ( AMS ) feature that we need:

1. POP3 server

POP3 server responsible for retrieving email from server

2. Built-in web server with webmail

We need to check our script result

Step by step :

Install exe file by double click

Click setup

Click Install tab to begin installation process

Start running your mail server

Just double click AMS icon in desktop to start this application

New instance of AMS will start and reside on tray

To make sure no service conflict , click the AMS icon on the tray to find out

As you see there is error message “address already in use”, by default web server will use port 80

We do have apache running in that port , click CTRL + O to configure new port for AMS web server. (choose PORTS tab)

Change Web Interface port from 80 to anything you want , I already have port 8080 for Oracle port so I choose 8083

Exit from AMS and start again

Now web server run on port 8083

Try open from browser :

http://localhost:8083

If You see this page it means your job is finish, You have working mail server plus webmail .

Next time I’ll continue on adding new user and testing script for mail() function.

See You

Update : part II is compelete, also with video.

Easy PHP Installer , XAMPP or WAMP ?

November 1, 2006 – 3:05 pm

In my recent study to help me study PHP5, I’m looking forward for “easy php installer” that can help me to code in PHP4 (production) and then easily change to PHP5 (learning OOP).

I used to use Appserv in my laptop or office PC but now it can’t help me any longer with PHP5 and PHP4 since I have to choose between appserv for PHP5 OR PHP4 .

Searching with uncle google help me find two solutions for my need :

1. XAMPP ( http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html)
2. WAMP (http://www.wampserver.com/en/)

XAMPP has two version :

Full and lite version

Full version has following feature :

Apache
MySQL
PHP + PEAR
MiniPerl
OpenSSL
phpMyAdmin
XAMPP Control Panel
Webalizer
Mercury Mail Transport System
FileZilla FTP Server
SQLite
ADODB
Zend Optimizer
XAMPP Security

Plus other “important feature” for installation

Full version is my choice since it come with PHP4 and PHP5

Lite version come with PHP5 and no PHP4

WAMP is great too , almost same as XAMPP BUT I have to install it to my computer

Since I must doing presentation to friends, my boss etc . I choose to use XAMPP because it’s portable , can reside in my Flash disk .

Draw back of these installer for me is MYSQL version .
I’m a fan of MYSQL 4.0x since my hosting company still use it in production .

But later I’ll switch to MYSQL4.1 or MYSQL 5 which is recomended by MYSQL AB company .

I’ll explore interesting facility in XAMPP like Mercury Mail Transport System for mail(), how to use it in local environtment etc.

See you
