[SOLVED] phpSysInfo – failed to open stream on Ubuntu 10.04?

phpsysinfo eval : 2 Message : parse_ini_file(/usr/share/phpsysinfo/data/distros.ini): failed to open stream: No such file or directory File

There is a simple fix for this in version 3.0.5:

Windows cannot find FILENAME from Outlook or Thunderbird – Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.

Uncheck Excel's Ignore other applications' DDE and you're done!

Uncheck Excel's Ignore other applications' DDE and you're done!

You double-click an attachment in Outlook – or Thunderbird – or any mail client or third-party client, for that matter – and you can’t open the file in Office (in my case Excel 2007, but this works for Excel 2003 as well).

But instead of the file, you get a notification telling you that Windows cannot find “filename“. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button and then click search.

Fear not – there’s hope. (more…)

Clamav errors on upgrade to 0.96 clamd and clamav-milter


2010
04.03

Some updates to the yum-sent clamav-milter.conf and (to a lesser extent) clamd.conf may be necessary.

After an automatic yum-update of the clamd family on RHEL, there’s a disparity in the way clamav-milter listens and clamd services the socket or port connection — clamav-milter doesn’t know what to go with (local socket on unix:/tmp/clamav.socket or tcp:127.0.0.1) – so you need to tell it. Otherwise, you get messages such as the below in you clamav-milter.log:

clamav-milter[5149]: No clamd server appears to be available
ERROR: Failed to initiate streaming/fdpassing

So make sure the ClamdSocket in clamav-milter.conf points to the LocalSocket that clamd.conf says it’s broadcasting on. So if clamd.conf is

LocalSocket /tmp/clamd.socket

clamav-milter.conf should have

ClamdSocket unix:/tmp/clamd.socket

Else, if you’re on LocalSocket on 127.0.0.1 on the default port, just set ClamdSocket as below:

ClamdSocket tcp:127.0.0.1

Also, be sure to do an sa-update

Simple, eh? But you knew that already! :)

KnowledgeTree 3.7.0.2 – OpenOffice startup script (SOLVED)


2010
03.21

Having repeatedly received the error that OpenOffice.org is not running on the standard installation of KnowledgeTree 3.7.0.2 Commercial Edition (the same holds true for the Community Edition), further investigation was necessary. The key area of investigation must focus on the dmsctl.sh file, particularly from line 47 onwards, but more of that further down below. This is on Ubuntu (9.10 Server).

First, do a few quick checks:

  1. Is the process running? Anywhere?
    Check whether OpenOffice.org is actually running, using a simple netstat -pant| grep 8100 — as the default installation is running with a headless OpenOffice.org on port 8100. You should see something like:

    tcp  0 0 127.0.0.1:8100 0.0.0.0:*  LISTEN  9655/soffice.bin

    For the fix in question, it wasn’t giving any results on this check (sudo the commands where required, but you knew that already), which means that it’s not running properly. Also,

    ps -aux | grep soffice

    gave no results, indicating non-functioning backend software.

Afrigator internal recent items broken?


2010
02.20

Afrigator.com (Blogs, Videos, Social Media etc) seems to have issues on the cross-linking of author to posting – cross-linking internally and referencing incorrectly.

Internal linking and cross-linking

I'm sure they're working on the references, working to correct.

I’m sure they’re on it.

In this example, Gaming SA hasn’t posted since Dec 2008, but is being referenced for a post from Feb 2010. THe top link goes to the site directly, and a framed Afrigator in the first and second title, respectively…

Oh well, it’s weekend :)

news.bbc.co.uk looping includes, broken

The power of bad includes

The power of bad includes

It seems that a looped include error has broken http://news.bbc.co.uk, creating repetitive nestings — or just a whole whack of emphasis on the Copenhagen climate change story which is self-included 5 times – no wonder the poor BBC Apache server reports “[an error occurred while processing this directive]” — seems that there is an incorrect citing or link… ho hum… happens to all of us :)

I’m sure it’ll be fixed soon (though the last update time points to either a serious error or a very slow news day Blair: ‘Right to remove’ Saddam is competing directly with the Climate change prosters march in Copenhagen story (which incidentally does not have a link on the page…)

The server decries the bad code

Ah, the wonder of automation… I wonder what impact this has on twitter and news.google.com feeds?

Update: 9 minutes later, they fixed it :)
