Updating Kloxo from 6.1.7. to 6.1.10

You can have problems updating Kloxo to version 6.1.10 (especially from 6.1.7) with using 'auto update' or 'update home' on kloxo.

short solution:
Run /script/cleanup

if this don't work try this:
# update your linux distribution
yum update
# shell command version for update kloxo
sh /script/upcp
# cleanup process kloxo settings
sh /script/cleanup
# restart some services
service xinetd restart
# Better reboot after that
reboot

Startup Script Red5 working with ubuntu 11.x

You may  wish have red5 started at boot.
This script should help you.
It is assumed that your red5 script is located at /usr/share/red5:

cd /etc/init.d/
touch red5
chmod 755 red5
vi red5

Paste below code
#! /bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/red5
#
# Check for missing file
RED5_DIR=/usr/share/red5
test -x $RED5_DIR/red5.sh || exit 5

case "$1" in
   start)
      echo -n "Starting Red5 Service"
      echo -n " "
      cd $RED5_DIR
      su -s /bin/bash -c "$RED5_DIR/red5.sh &" red5
      sleep 2
       ;;
   stop)
       echo -n "Shutting down red5"
       echo -n " "
       su -s /bin/bash -c "killall -q -u red5 java" red5
       sleep 2
       ;;
   restart)
       ## Stop the service and regardless of whether it was
       ## running or not, start it again.
       $0 stop
       $0 start
       ;;
 esac

then you maybe need

useradd red5

and use like
service red5 start
service red5 stop
service red5 restart

Stream your video files via CDN and play them with JW Player

Using AWS CloudFront as CDN

A Content Delivery Network (CDN) offers several advantages over a plain webserver for streaming video. For example, a CDN will be able to speedily deliver your videos across the country and globe, it will be able to stream your videos instead of a download and it will be able to scale to large numbers of videos and viewers.

This 4 steps are required:

• Get an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Account
• Upload Your Content to S3
• Create a CloudFront Distribution
• Configure Your JW Player:

How to generate an SSH key with Linux?

You can generate a SSH key in Linux using the ssh-keygen command. You should run it in the command line. You will be asked for a file in which the key should be saved to and for a passphrase (password) for the key:

user@localhost: ssh-keygen -t dsa
Generating public/private dsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/user/.ssh/id_dsa):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in id_dsa.
Your public key has been saved in id_dsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
16:8e:e8:f2:1d:c9:b9:cf:43:9a:b3:3c:c1:1f:95:93 user@localhost

This will create a private key written to /home/user/.ssh/id_dsa and a public key written to/home/user/.ssh/id_dsa.pub. The passphrase is used to protect your key. You will be asked for it when you connect via SSH.

No - the pagerank did not die today.

There are numberless complaints in the forums that the Google PageRank went missing in action and is no longer working.
The issue is not with Toolbar PageRank. Google appears to have disabled the display of PageRank on browser toolbars and online ranking checkers. It  is causd by Google's lookup URL for the Pagerank. Toolbar plugins, such as SEOQuake and SEOBook, which had been displaying the Google PageRank for the site being viewed are now showing as either N/A or 0.

Move Typo3 to a new host.

To move your TYPO3 site from one host to another, you will need an FTP Client and access to an online database tool (such as phpMyAdmin). Begin the process by logging into your online account with your FTP Client. For this How To, we'll demo Firefox's FireFTP extension (which is free).

1. First, using an FTP Client, such as FireFTP (shown), Connect to your current hosting account.
2. Download to your local computer all the directories and files in the following directories:
   
   /fileadmin
   /t3lib
   /typo3
   /typo3conf
   /typo3temp
   /uploads
   index.php
   
   This download may take a good bit of time, even with a fast connection.
3. When the download is complete, open the /typo3conf on your local computer and delete all the files that begin with temp_
4. Next, log in to the original hosting account and access your online database tool (generally, login to phpMyAdmin).
5. When you've logged in,select your TYPO3 database from the dropdown menu on the left and then click the Export tab.
6. Leave all the options at their default settings. Scroll to the bottom of the page and check the "Save as file" box and then click the Go button.
7. Save the file to your local computer.
8. If the File name field is blank, enter the name of your database here. Then press Go.
9. When the database export is complete, log in to your new host's server with your FTP Client and upload all the TYPO3 directories and files (do not upload the .sql file that you exported in the previous step).
   
   Again, this process will likely take some time, even with a fast connection.
10. When the files are all uploaded, you will need to change the permissions recursively for /fileadmin, /typo3conf, /typo3temp, /uploads, and index.php to chmod 777. (FlashFXP, Filezilla, and Firefox's FireFTP extension all include recursive features).
    
    Click Read, Write, and Execute for Owner, Group, and Public groups. Then ensure All Contained Files and All Contained Folders are checked as well.
11. Click Okay and wait. Again, this isn't always a speedy process.
12. Next, you will need to do some detective work to find out how to create a database, database user, and connect the two on your new server. Typically, the information can be found on your host's support pages.
    
    Once a new database has been created and set up, use your online databae tool (phpMyAdmin) to import the database you've saved on your local computer.  (Save the User Login and Password for later.)
13. Click the Import tab.
14. Click Browse to find your saved .sql database file on your local computer. Select it and then scroll to the bottom of this page and click the Go button.
15. With these steps done, it's time to log in to the Install Tool. Open your browswer and type the following in the address bar:
16. www.YOUR_SITE_URL.org/typo3/install.
17. When the Install Tool login appears, type in your Install Tool Password and press the Log in Button.
18. Next, click the Basic Configuration link.
19. Scroll down the page to the Directories List to ensure all the TYPO3 directories are writable.
20. If any of the directories are unwritable, return to your FTP Client and set the permission to 777.
21. Next, scroll down to the Update localconf.php fields.
22. Next, connect your TYPO3 installation to your database. Enter the database Username and Password. The host should be set at localhost and select the TYPO3 database in the drop down menu.
23. Enter your Site name in the appropriate field, and then scroll down the page to the Update localconf.php button.
24. At this point, your TYPO3 transfer is nearly complete. The only thing left to do is to reset any of the site's Constants if they've changed (such as the site's URL or other details).
    
    Go ahead and navigate to your site's TYPO3 backend (www.Your_Site_URL.org/typo3) and login.
25. To change your site's Constants, click on the WEC Config Module.
26. Change any of the fields necessary and click the Update button.
27. With this step complete, your site shoud be fully transferred to your new host. However, you will want to view it in the Frontend to ensure it is satisfactory.

Add Google Analytics to Typo3 without extension.

You can simple embed Google Analytics to your Typo3 site.
Just add this code in the template typoscript setup:

'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })(); </script> )

now run
# yum install php php-common php-gd php-mcrypt php-pear php-pecl-memcache php-mhash php-mysql php-xml php-mbstring

Install PhpMyAdmin

# cd /var/www/html
# wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/phpmyadmin/phpMyAdmin/3.3.6/phpMyAdmin-3.3.6-english.tar.gz?r=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.phpmyadmin.net%2Fhome_page%2Fdownloads.php&ts=1283745912&use_mirror=voxel

# tar zxvf phpMyAdmin-3.3.6-english.tar.gz
# mv phpMyAdmin-3.3.6-english phpmyadmin
# cd phpmyadmin
# cp config.sample.inc.php config.inc.php

Edit config.inc.php for random string $cfg['blowfish_secret'] = ‘RandomStringHere’;

Restart server
# service httpd restart

use the following in the file config.inc.php of phpMyAdmin to restrict access to from remote machines:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowDeny']['order'] = 'deny,allow';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowDeny']['rules'][] = 'allow % from 127.0.0.1';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowDeny']['rules'][] = 'deny % from all';

This means that only users logged into my laptop are allowed to see the phpMyAdmin pages in their browser. The percent sign (%) stands for "all users".

Moving an EC2 Instance to another Size

Instead of starting a new instance and having to configure it from scratch, you are able to simply resize the existing instance. In this example you resize a micro instance to a small instance.

Requirements:

1. You must be running an EBS boot instance (not instance-store or S3-based AMI). Any files on ephemeral storage (e.g., /mnt) will be lost.

2. You can only move to a different instance type of the same architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).

3. The private and initial public IP addresses of the instance will be different when it is running on the new hardware. Use an Elastic IP Address to keep the public IP address the same.

4. There will be a short outage while the instance is moved to new hardware (roughly equivalent to the reboot time of normal hardware).

Process:

Run a new t1.micro Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid instance to be our demo. I recommend uploading your own ssh key first.

instance_id=$(ec2-run-instances --instance-type t1.micro --key $USER ami-3e02f257 |
egrep ^INSTANCE | cut -f2)

Wait until it is running and perhaps log in to install software or touch some files so you know it’s your instance. When you are ready, stop the t1.micro instance:

ec2-stop-instances $instance_id

At this point in a normal environment, you might want to create an EBS snapshot AMI of the instance for backup purposes in the event that anything goes wrong. (See: ec2-create-image)

While the EBS boot instance is stopped, switch the instance type from t1.micro to m1.small:

ec2-modify-instance-attribute --instance-type m1.small $instance_id

Start the instance using its new m1.small type:

ec2-start-instances $instance_id

Wait until it is running (again), then log in to verify that it is the same instance with all your software and data. If you were using an Elastic IP address with the instance, it would need to be reassociated after the instance is started.

Eventually, you’ll discover that an m1.small isn’t all that powerful either for moderate loads, so you’ll want to upgrade to a c1.medium, which for many purposes is a great size. It offers 5X the CPU of an m1.small for only 2X the price.

Unfortunately, with a 32-bit instance, c1.medium is as high as you can currently go as of this writing. You’ll need to switch over to a new instance running a 64-bit AMI if you want to go larger.


Vice Versa:

Though we often think “scaling” means moving to larger/faster/more hardware, Amazon EC2 has shown us that it is equally valuable to be able to scale down when we no longer need the extra capacity. The above approach can be used to move your instances to smaller instance types to reduce costs.

If you run this demo, you will be charged for 1 hour of t1.micro instance time plus 1 hour of m1.small instance time, plus fractions of a penny in EBS volume and IO charges. That’s slightly more than a dime.

If you do not need the example instance anymore do not forget to delete it:

ec2-terminate-instances $instance_id

AWS EC2 mail with SendGrid

mail is a beast. Sending email is easy but getting it pass spam filters when you’re a legitimate service is rather hard. Sending good email is especially hard when on EC2. The reason is due to spammers using and abusing elastic IPS. So, for startups your best bet of sending out a lot of email and getting it to the user is to use a service. You can pick Sendgrid. It’s cheap, fast, has good email tracking and builds all the appropriate email headers to get the mail white listed and into the destinations inbox. Sendgrid is the sender (think of them as an extension to sendmail).

New signups will usually get activated in less than four hours and then you simply add your username/password to the Postfix installation by editing the main.cf file.

First install postfix:

In Ubuntu, or any other apt using Linux distro, type in:

sudo apt-get install postfix

or if your system uses yum:

yum install postfix



Next choice your type of mail configuration: “Internet with Smarthost”.

From there, it’ll ask you questions that are entirely up to you.

It’s going to ask you for the smarthost address. Since we’re using SendGrid, use

smtp.sendgrid.net

Second edit the main.cf file:

Type in

sudo pico /etc/postfix/main.cf
or
sudo vi /etc/postfix/main.cf
to prepare the main.cf file

smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = static:yourSendgridUsername:yourSendgridPassword
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
smtp_tls_security_level = may
header_size_limit = 4096000
relayhost = [smtp.sendgrid.net]:587

Replace yourSendgridUsername and yourSendgridPassword with your username and password.

sudo service postfix restart

How to restart my-sql-Server

Each distribution comes with a shell script (read as service) to restart / stop / start MySQL server. First login as root user and open shell prompt (command prompt).

Login as root user. Now type the following command as per your Linux distro:

A) If you are using mysql on RedHat Linux (Fedora Core/Cent OS) then use following command:

* To start mysql server:

/etc/init.d/mysqld start

* To stop mysql server:

/etc/init.d/mysqld stop

* To restart mysql server

/etc/init.d/mysqld restart

Tip: Redhat Linux also supports service command, which can be use to start, restart, stop any service:

# service mysqld start
# service mysqld stop
# service mysqld restart

(B) If you are using mysql on Debian / Ubuntu Linux then use following command:

* To start mysql server:

/etc/init.d/mysql start

* To stop mysql server:

/etc/init.d/mysql stop

* To restart mysql server

Accessing SSH on a non-standard port via the command line

vento> ssh -p 6896 targetserver

or special directory: 

vento> ssh -p 6896 user@targetserver 

Howto disable recursive DNS queries

Recursive DNS queries occur when a DNS client requests information from a DNS server that is set to query subsequent DNS servers until a definitive answer is returned to the client. The queries made to subsequent DNS servers from the first DNS server are iterative queries.

Thus keeping recursive query can lead to  unauthorized use of resources and DOS attacks.

To disable Recursive DNS follow the steps:

1) SSH server as root and edit file /etc/named.conf

root@server[~]#vi /etc/named.conf

2) add line recursion no; in options clause and it will look something like.

options {

directory “/var/named”;

dump-file “/var/named/data/cache_dump.db”;

statistics-file “/var/named/data/named_stats.txt”;

/*

* If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want

* to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source

* directive below.  Previous versions of BIND always asked

* questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 uses an unprivileged

* port by default.

*/

// query-source address * port 53;

recursion no;

};

3) Now restart or reload named service.

root@server[~]#/etc/init.d/named reload

If you have slave server, add this on the master

iptables -t filter -A INPUT -p tcp -s SLAVE_IP --dport 7779 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t filter -A OUTPUT -p tcp -d SLAVE_IP --dport 7779 -j ACCEPT

Note: replace SLAVE_IP with your Slave server IP.

Add this on slave server

iptables -t filter -A INPUT -p tcp -s MASTER_IP --dport 7779 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t filter -A OUTPUT -p tcp -d MASTER_IP --dport 7779 -j ACCEPT

Note: replace MASTER_IP with your Master server IP.


After all always a good idea
/sbin/service httpd restart

Installing Kloxo on Centos 64

Take a fresh installation of centos 5.5
Don't yum update now.
Install Mysql
su root
setenforce 0

wget http://download.lxcenter.org/download/kloxo/production/kloxo-install-master.sh

Take the install option with existing mysql database (PASSWORD = your root password SQL)
sh ./kloxo-install-master.sh --db-rootpassword=PASSWORD

go through the installation process. Answer all questions wit yes and take a break for 15 minutes.

Install MySql on Centos 5.5

Install:
yum install mysql-server


Start:
service mysqld start OR /etc/init.d/mysqld start


Secure it:
/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation

It is going to ask you handful of questions:

Current Root Password

You will be asked for your current root password. Because this is a new installation it is set to none. Press enter.

Set Root Password

If the above step worked correctly you should be prompted with a question asking you if you would like to set your root password. Please press Y and press Enter.

You will be asked for your root password twice. If it works you will see Success!

Removing Anonymous Users

You will be prompted to remove the MySQL anonymous users. For security reasons we want to do this. The text above the question explains this topic in more detail. Press Y and then Enter.

Disallow Root Login

You will be asked if you would like to disallow remote login for the root user and only allow connections from the server itself. To keep our server secure you want to say Y and press Enter.

Delete test Database

MySQL ships with a default database called test. This is not needed and can be deleted. Press Y and then Enter to delete the test database and it’s associated users.

Reload Privilege Tables

This step will reload the user settings (called privilege tables) so all user changes will take effect. Press Y and then Enter to continue.

httpd restart - start - stop

to restart:

/sbin/service httpd restart

to start:

/sbin/service httpd start

to stop:

/sbin/service httpd stop

Fastenkur für CSS-Code - 30 % sind drin.

CSSTidy ist ein Tool um CSS-Code zu optimiern. Farbcode wird in Kurzform gebracht, Shorthands werden optimiert und überflüssige Zeichen entfernt. Die Option "CSS erhalten" empfieht sich z.B., wenn Kommentarte beigehalten werden sollen. Auf ungültige Eigenschaften wird hingewiesen, auf Wunsch werden diese auch entfernt. CSSTidy ist aber kein Validator und erkennt nur teilweise Fehlercode. In der höchsten Komprimierungsstufe wird der Code komplett in eine Zeile gepackt und daher extrem unübersichtlich. Hier empfiehlt es sich die Originalversion zusätzlich zu sichern.
