Modding the link-page of iNove theme

April 7th, 2009

This post is mostly a reminder for myself. I modded the current theme (iNove by mg12) so that the links on the link page are shown in categories.

In links.php I replaced:

<div class="boxcaption"><h3>Blogroll</h3></div>
<div class="box linkcat">
  <ul><?php wp_list_bookmarks('title_li=&categorize=0&orderby=rand'); ?></ul>
  <div class="fixed"></div>
</div>

with:

<?php wp_list_bookmarks('category_before=&title_before=<div class="boxcaption"><h3>&title_after=</h3></div><div class="box linkcat">&category_after=<div class="fixed"></div></div>'); ?>

Ugly, but it works great

Securing a shared server with mpm-itk

April 6th, 2009

While searching for how I could secure my web server environment I came across this wonderful post. I was already used suPHP. Replacing it with mpm-itk was very simple since mpm-itk were already in the Intrepid repositories.

Upgraded to Intrepid

April 4th, 2009

Very soon, Jaunty is going to be released. In mean time, I decided to upgrade my server from Hardy to Intrepid. I don’t know actually what I was thinking. Why should I upgrade something that’s still supported and runs without problems? On intrepids plus side, intrepid had packages for libcap2. I had only installed these from a PPA-repository previously. On the down-side, I had problems running the new Xorg on the same hardware when Intrepid was brand new. I just couldn’t get tv-out to work regardless of how hard I tried with my Geforce 6200.

Well, how did it go then?

Oh… It was the smoothest release-upgrade ever! Wow OK, xorg struggled. But it wasn’t harder than: resetting the xorg.conf, starting xorg, let jockey install the correct driver, restart and set up twinview (clone) using nvidia-settings.

Now, I just wait for proftpd v1.3.2 to hit the repositories. In the mean time, I use proftpd debian packages.
