VMWare Server sucks!
Posted on July 8th, 2010 No commentsAt the office we use VMWare Server on a couple of different systems to run “appliance” based applications, the problem is every few months the Web interface suddenly screws up and all we get is 503 errors when attempting to login. I’ve searched high and low for the cause and solution to fix it, as far I can tell its occurs because the server randomly deletes or corrupts some important Tomcat related content. Then the only solution I’ve found to fixing this is completely uninstall VMWare Server, remove all the licenses, reboot the system and then re-install VMWare server.

Windows 7 + iPhone Bluetooth
Posted on August 22nd, 2009 No commentsWell we finally received access to the Windows 7 Pro RTM, personally I've been running an RC for several month and think its the most polished version of Windows yet, but many people will find it difficult to adjust to. I've ran into a few issue with getting its Bluetooth support working with my iPhone, it appeared with the yellow triangle exclamation icon, not sure why, but this can be fixed by right clicking the phone icon, going to properties -> services and unticking the Wireless iAP option, click ok, right-click on the phone icon and select Connect using -> Access point.

MySQL HA
Posted on August 19th, 2009 No commentsWe're currently in the process of splitting our websites out onto pairs of servers for High Availability, unfortunately MySQL is pretty poor when it comes to this, its replication facilities leave a lot to be desired and often fall out of sync.

“You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page” after Wordpress upgrade
Posted on July 4th, 2009 No commentsIf you’ve done a wordpress upgrade which included either copying another wp database or changing the current one’s table prefix (as well as changing the $table_prefix PHP variable in your config file,) you will most likely be met with this warning when you try to log in: You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page. The reason for this is that everything in wordpress that accesses info in the db does so from PHP using the $table_prefix variable, and when you first installed your blog, a couple of options are set in the database that include that value, which makes it not really so dynamic!
After rooting through my db, I found 5 or 6 values that still had the old table prefix in – mostly in the `usermeta` table, but also one in the `options` table. To make sure I got them all, I ran these simple SQL statements in phpMyAdmin to update all the values: UPDATE `wp2_usermeta` SET `meta_key` = REPLACE ( `meta_key` , 'wp_' , 'wp2_' ) ; UPDATE `wp2_options` SET `option_name` = REPLACE ( `option_name` , 'wp_' , 'wp2_' ) ; (note: please be sure to backup your database before you execute any SQL on it – if something goes wrong, there’s not a lot you can do to recover it without a backup!) In those two examples, assume the original prefix was “wp” and the new one is “wp2″Follow this link:

Proj-x Transfer fix
Posted on June 10th, 2009 No commentsI've finally had some free time to spend on fixing Transfer, it seems the problems were not caused by bugs, instead other plug-ins such as PDT (from v2 onwards) changed the way they're implemented and started using the Eclipse DLTK (Dynamic Language Tool Kit) which meant Transfer no longer knew how to process requests from the new PHP Explorer (This was not a problem for me, as I use an older version of PDT). Anyway, I will release a test version of Tranfer 1.2 shortly, note its not final, I intend to add more error checking and some default settings

Changing Project Types in Eclipse
Posted on May 27th, 2009 No commentsIf you created a project in Eclipse, but you created a regular “Project” instead of a particular project type (in my case, a “PHP Project” then there is a fairly easy way of fixing it. I had to do this to make a particular project work in the PHP Explorer (which for some reason worked fine on Windows version of Eclipse, but not my version…) Create a new project of the type you want to convert your existing project to

Ubuntu: Trac Broken After Ubuntu Upgrade
Posted on May 13th, 2009 No commentsIf you’ve recently done an upgrade or dist-upgrade (as I did) on your Ubuntu server and it broke Trac with 500 errors, then this might be the solution for you… If you’re seeing something like this in your Apache error.log: No module named trac.web.modpython_frontend Then what has probably happened is Python was upgraded to a more recent version.
