I used Notepad++ text editor at work, which running on Windows XP. Notepad++ has lots of advanced features, like edit multiple documents at the same time, auto-detection of file changes while opening the file, tabbed document interface, also support syntax highlighting and many more.

I was looking for similar text editor for my Fedora 12 machine, though it can run on Linux using WINE environment. But I don’t like too much WINE.

Just come across this open source editor:SciTE, which based on the Scintilla editor component. Notepad++ is also using the Scintilla editing component.

SciTE
Using SciTE to edit PHP files of WordPress theme.

SciTE is a powerful text editor, there are extra configuration files that can enhance SciTE for various languages and APIs. Also, Scintilla includes many useful features when editing and debugging source code. These include support for syntax styling, error indicators, code completion and call tips, etc …

WordPress 2.9 Carmen just launched couple days ago.

Recent versions of WordPress feature an Automatic Upgrade option. Just click Upgrade Automatically and within a minute, it’s done.
WordPress Upgrade

However, this time I had an error about allowed memory size exhausted.
WordPress Upgrade

This error message is because Wordpress exceeding it’s predetermined memory limit in PHP environment.

Luckily, there is an easy solution.
WordPress sets its memory limits within the wp-settings.php file.
All has to be done is change the memory limit from 32M to 64M.
Upgrade WordPress

Now, upgrade WordPress to the latest version without any problem.

Install Chromium Web browser on Fedora 12

December 12, 2009 · Posted in Linux · Comment 

Google has released Chromium Web browser sometimes ago. I wanted to install on my Fedora 12 system.

Install Chromium Web browser from http://spot.fedorapeople.org/chromium/F12/

rpm -ivh http://spot.fedorapeople.org/chromium/F12/chromium-4.0.252.0-0.1.20091119svn32498.fc12.i686.rpm

The installation may failed due to dependencies of libicu libraries.

error: Failed dependencies:
libicudata.so.40 is needed by chromium-4.0.252.0-0.1.20091119svn32498.fc11.i586
libicui18n.so.40 is needed by chromium-4.0.252.0-0.1.20091119svn32498.fc11.i586
libicuuc.so.40 is needed by chromium-4.0.252.0-0.1.20091119svn32498.fc11.i586

My Fedora 12 system already has the International Components for Unicode libraries 4.2.1 (libicuuc.so.4.2.1) which were not supported by Chromium Web browser.

So, to resolves the libicu 4.0 dependencies, first remove the newer version from my system.

yum remove libicu

Then get the libicu 4.0 from RPM search and install using rpm command.

rpm -ivh libicu-4.0.1-5.fc11.i586.rpm

The short-cut icon would appear in Applications, Internet.

Multihomed Windows Server vs Multihomed Linux Server

December 9, 2009 · Posted in Computer Technology, Linux · Comment 

I was tasked to setup multihomed Active Directory servers, connecting internal network and external network.

The external network interface causes numerous problems for external servers to communicates with the multihomed Active Directory servers. This is because network interfaces on the multihomed DCs are registering both the internal and external IP with the DNS server. DNS name resolution lookup requests return records in a “round robin” method. That means, half of the DNS lookup requests return an IP address that cannot be reached.

Windows Server 2003
Basically, four steps to resolve these multihomed Windows servers issue:

1) Disable registration on the external network interface on the multihomed domain controller.
2) Disable the round robin functionality on the DNS server.
3) Remove the existing entries in DNS.
4) Change the binding order of the network interfaces so that the internal interface is the first bound adapter.

Refer to Microsoft support for detail steps.

Linux server
Configure multi-home in Linux environment is so much easy.

Just assign each interface IP address using ifconfig command line.

# ifconfig eth0 7.64.1.254 up
# ifconfig eth1 7.72.1.254 up

Once two IP assigned the Linux system. No special configuration needed. The Linux multi-homing is up and running in just 3 minutes.
