most popular browser?

to check my apache log against browsers used I got some tips and came about that command:
zcat access.log.6.gz|awk '{print $12}'|sort|uniq -c|sort -g
and this I can easily visualize

backup staff homesites

I needed to backup staff members’ homepages located at homedirs and access by Apache’s http://site/~name

so tar.gz the whole /home, but:

• users got some private stuff in the $HOMEs
• their $HOME/public_html is what I need to backup, but they got some large files in there

so…
find home -perm /004 -size -5M -type f -print0 | xargs -0 tar -rvf home.tar

-perm is for ‘readable to all’ files; size <5MB; type – only files (since tar is appending (r) and not creating (c) new archive with each file! )

the last hour was about dealing with files containing whitespaces, since xargs got each argument seperated by any whitespace… so -0 is for arguments seperated by null and -print0 is for listing files terminated  by a null character instead of by whitespace

secret dir

because of http://marekopel.wordpress.com/2008/02/10/78/ I needed to set .htaccess for a Apache2@Debian Web dir… just as many times before used the htpasswd, copied the .htaccess (with a path pointing to the created passfile) to the security-needing dir and… it didn’t work…

the same file moved to my personal subdir (/home/kopel/public_html/test) worked fine (http://www.zsi.pwr.wroc.pl/~kopel/test asked for user/pass created with htpasswd), but in the main site subdir (/var/www) the login form didn’t show…

after over an hour it turned out that a changing
AllowOverride None
in default <VirtualHost *> to
AllowOverride All

made it work

it was quite strange, because I couldn’t find the configuration for public_htmls to compare

and BTW: when creating a secret subdir, where only a few user have write access, one thing took me a while:

the write-enabled users got appended the group of the dir, but when they were creating a new subdir, its group was the default group of the user (not the secured dir’s group)… sticky bit did the trick -> setting gid for a dir: chmod -R g+s secret_dir

Java Security, a Tomcat i MySQL

prawie tydzień prób i błędów uruchomienia prostej JSP z dostępem do MySQL na Tomcat‘cie 5.5 na Ubuntu i Debian‘ie…

i okazuje się, że szukałem opcji TOMCAT5_SECURITY=no w  /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5

no ładnie

słuchaj, to do ciebie

chciałem przenieść w końcu phpmyadmin’a na https, no i godzina z życiorysu, bo jest drobna różnica między zrobieniem tego na Ubuntu i na Debianie… na tym drugim 3-a ręcznie wpisać Listen 443 do /etc/apache2/ports.conf

import?

próbowałem zaimportować mój blog z Moodle i ZSI przez RSS, ale importowały się same daty…

żeby z bloggera coś zaimportować, to potrzeba zainstalować php5-curl, ale coś nie ma go na oficjalnych serwerach Debiana…

ale poza tym działa… może aktualności ZSI na tym zrobić? tylko lokalizację polską najpierw…
