Published by Jeremy on October 15, 2011

Just recently updated my vps to ubuntu 11.10, this went mostly smooth. However, I had some issues with dovecot. I could not get it to start. It seems that the configuration guide I followed to setup dovecot broke due to outdated settings. However thanks to a wiki guide from dovecot, I was able to convert …

Preventing access to drives on Windows 7

Published by Jeremy on August 10, 2011

I added boot camp to one of my macs and happy found that that Windows 7 supports reading HFS drives. Which means it had access to my Mac OS X installation. Sadly it didn’t keep the user permissions setup and I could see everything from all users. Not acceptable for a family used computer. So …

Nginx with IPv6 and vhosts

Published by Jeremy on May 27, 2011

Linode.com has recently setup IPv6 natively and is deploying it across their data-centers. This is great as I now have a native IPv6 address for my VPS. I use Nginx as a replacement for Apache and I noticed today that my vhosts where not correctly responding on the IPv6 address. Since I use a wildcard …

Mac OS X deleting users

Published by Jeremy on February 16, 2011

I had a issue with my laptops video card dieing. None the less thanks to a class action lawsuit and some work by Apple, I have been able to get my video card replaced for free (See: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377). The nicest thing is that this is costing me $0 dollars to fix and ship back to …

phpMyAdmin using login with nginx behind a https auth login

Published by Jeremy on December 15, 2010

The title may be confusing, but I am sure it is related to how I have things setup. I have phpMyAdmin setup to use http login, which means it gives a login form for me to log into phpMyAdmin. phpMyAdmin is on a protected folder with a auth basic login setup (so a dual auth …

Content Security Policy with google ads

Published by Jeremy on December 3, 2010

Content Security Policy is a relativity new header being promoted. Browsers such as Firefox 4 will make use of this. Considering the benefits it and X-Frame-Options headers offer. It is almost stupid to not look into this. These new headers try to do one thing and that is prevent some of the common security issues …

Convert TS3 from sqlite to mysql database

Published by Jeremy on December 2, 2010

I run a teamspeak server and it uses teamspeak3. However when I set it up, I didn’t bother getting any further than getting it running. Now I find out that its using sqlite for a database and that database is taking up a lot of data for useless logs. First step was to figure out …

Multiviews in nginx (sorta)

Published by Jeremy on November 22, 2010

I use wsvn on my svn subdomain. Nginx doesn’t have real support for this, but there is a way to sorta do this. First we set this in our / location: #Sorta emulate multiviews. set $path_info “”; if ($uri ~ “^/wsvn/(.+)$”) { set $path_info “/$1”; rewrite ^(.+)$ /wsvn.php?$1 last; } Now I just need to …

Disabling php files in wordpress upload when using nginx

Published by Jeremy on November 22, 2010

This isn’t well documented anywhere for nginx. In fact it is sorta hidden and hard to find. Nginx does support a way for me to disable php from being executed in my uploads directory. The way I came across actually I am loving, as I am able to control how content is handled actually. This …

Nginx with wordpress seo urls

Published by Jeremy on November 21, 2010

I have been testing running my site with Nginx instead of Apache. One of the issues I have ran across is getting wordpress to work right since I use the SEO urls. Not that SEO urls make any difference, its a fun challenge to just work with. One issue I ran across is getting these …
