I try to be good about using virtualenv and pip and whatnot, but I probably slipped up somewhere. Either way, I finally got tired of seeing those warnings all the time and actually read them. Throwing caution to the wind, I deleted /System/​Library/​Frameworks/​ Python.framework/​Versions/​2.6/​Extras/​lib/​python/​pkg_resources.pyc and everything seems to be working

Sharing a Session between multiple subdomains/rails-apps is quite easy.

Make shure you’re using the ActiveRecord (db-based) session store and all instances share the same secret (- obviously the same db, too). In config/environment.rb (config-block):

Tell rails to set the session-cookie on “all subdomains” by adding this line to config/environments/myenvironment.rb. Note the leading dot in “.mydomain.com”.

(Apprently this works only for rails >= 2.3)

I loved using the Rails plugin Paperclip along with Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (’s3′) to do file attachments and uploads in Ruby on Rails.

Here are some of the missing steps from using the Paperclip instructions at github and other places.

1) Your model (the one you are attaching file to) will need something like this:

has_attached_file :profile_pic,
:styles => { :medium => “300×300>”, :thumb => “100×100>” },
:storage => :s3,
:s3_credentials => “#{RAILS_ROOT}/config/amazon_s3.yml”,
:path => “:class/:id/:style.:extension”

leaving out the :path, caused a recursive ’stack level too deep’ error for me.

2) add gem.config “right_aws” to your environmnent.rb file.

Terminal: ’sudo rake gems:install’ to install the gem

3) The default /config/amazon_sq.yml file misnames ‘bucket_name’, and needs to be called just ‘bucket’.

But overall, this is an amazing solution for file uploads in Rails.  Applause to thoughtbot, amazon, and the open source community that has worked on this.

What you do is create a select tag with the “select” method like so: (using the client/project scenario)

f.select(:client_id,

The next value you pass to the select method has to be an array of text/value pairs

like this: [ [ "Jason Johnson", 1], ["Trey Piepmeier", 2], ["Royall", 3] ]

In order to create this array, you do a find on your clients table and use Ruby’s “collect” method.

like so:

Client.find(:all).collect {|c| [ c.name, c.id ]}

So, altogether now:

f.select(:client_id, Client.find(:all).collect {|c| [ c.name, c.id ] })

How to Find and Kill a Process that is Using a Particular Port in Ubuntu

I had a problem with tomcat, it says that port 8080 is already in use so I can not use it …

What I did ?

1- Find what application/process is using the pro, type:

sudo netstat -lpn |grep :8080

and press Enter.

You will get an output similar to this one

tcp6       0      0 :::8080                 :::*                    LISTEN      6782/java

2- I have got the process Id, which is 6782, now this is the process that is using port 8080.

3- Kill the process, type:kill 6782

kill 6782

and now port 8080 is free.

Solution1

Step # 1: Login over ssh

First, login over ssh to remote MySQL database server

Step # 2: Enable networking

Once connected you need edit the mysql configuration file
my.cfg using text editor such as vi.

In Debian Linux file is located at /etc/mysql/my.cnf

# vi /etc/my.cnf

Step # 3: Once file open, locate line that read as [mysqld]

Make sure line skip-networking is commented (or remove line) and add following line

bind-address=YOUR-SERVER-IP

For example, if your MySQL server IP is 172.20.5.2 then entire block should be look like as follows:

[mysqld]
user = mysql
pid-file = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
port = 3306
basedir = /usr
datadir = /var/lib/mysql
tmpdir = /tmp
language = /usr/share/mysql/English
bind-address = 172.20.5.2

# skip-networking
….
..
….

Where,

bind-address : IP address to bind to.
skip-networking : Don’t listen for TCP/IP connections at all. All interaction with mysqld must be made via Unix sockets. This option is highly recommended for systems where only local requests are allowed. Since you need to allow remote connection this line should removed from file or put it in comment state.

Step# 4 Save and Close the file.

Restart your mysql service to take change in effect

# /etc/init.d/mysql restart

Step # 5 Grant access to remote IP address

# mysql -u root –p mysql

Grant access to new database

If you want to add new database called foo for user bar and remote IP 162.54.10.20 then you need to type following commands at mysql> prompt:

mysql> CREATE DATABASE foo;

mysql> GRANT ALL ON foo.* TO bar@’162.54.10.20′ IDENTIFIED BY ‘PASSWORD’;

Grant access to existing database

Let us assume that you are always making connection from remote IP called 162.54.10.20 for database called webdb for user webadmin then you need to grant access to this IP address. At mysql> prompt type following command for existing database:

mysql> update db set Host=’162.54.10.20′ where Db=’webdb’;

mysql> update user set Host=’162.54.10.20′ where user=’webadmin’;

Step # 5: Logout of MySQL

Type exit command to logout mysql

mysql> exit

Step # 6: Test it

From remote system type command

$ mysql -u webadmin –h 172.20.5.2 –p

You can also use telnet to connect to port 3306 for testing purpose

$ telnet 172.20.5.2 3306

Solution 2

All you need to do is specify remote mysql host with –h option. For example to connect remote mysql server called server.test.com you need to type command as follows

$ mysql –u ruchi –h server.test.com -p

OR if you with to use MySQL server ip address (172.20.1.101)

restarting apache httpd in centos

always developed in winxp for the time being and also being new to linux i am forced to learn to make changes in php.ini and needed to restart apache or httpd

to restart:

/sbin/service httpd restart

to start:

/sbin/service httpd start

to stop:

/sbin/service httpd stop

Migrating from Debian to CentOS was certainly not pleasant one. But slowly I am getting used to yum (I still miss my apt). Recently I faced an issue installing mysql gem. Here is short description of problem followed by solution.

I did some googling and found the solution:

# ps aux | grep yum

note the pid number of the process and run this to kill the process:

# kill (insert pid number)

check to see if the process has been killed by rerunning:

# ps aux | grep yum

This was the error I received when deploying a Capistrano deployment from github. Keep in mind to even get your submodules deployed you’ll need to add the following var to deploy.rb:

set :git_enable_submodules, 1

It turns out that I had git 1.5.2.5 and submodule support did not come until 1.5.3. So I was forced to upgrade. The process went something like this:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get build-dep git-core

sudo apt-get remove git-core

wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.6.2.tar.gz

tar xzf git-1.6.2.tar.gz

cd cd git-1.6.2

./configure

make

sudo make install

Type “git submodule” and you should see the appropriate error, meaning it recognizes the submodule parameter. There’s a chance that git won’t be in your path so just do the following:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

You should be good to go!
