D4rk Theme Issues

Submitted by packetmad on 2 November, 2009 - 10:31

New Drupal theme issues:

(FIXED)1. Text - Links Too dark. The gray is a couple shades too dark for it's background color.

(FIXED)2. Text - Black text, in text entry areas, is too dark. (search box)

(FIXED)3. Spacing - Spacing on articles and blocks.
There needs to be a CR between the controls of an article teaser and the title of the next.
In blocks, there needs to be a CR at the end.

(MOSTLY)4. Preview - white text on white background. Mostly fixed. You can now see the body but some fields, like author, still have some white text on white background. Comment preview works fine however.

(FIXED)5. Bottom AdSense block not showing properly. (Apparently main page only)

(FIXED)6. Pager black text too dark.

CIALUG, the local linux users group, suggested using firebug to find these issues.

Drupal 6

Submitted by packetmad on 14 January, 2009 - 12:45

Lately, when bring up a new site, I have had a problem with Drupal creating user 1 correctly or at all.
What I have been doing is manually updating the user table with name and temporary password hash.
To do this I have been using MySQL Buddy. It's a slick web interface to interact directly with databases on the MySQL server. But at some point I'll just use a CLI update command.

This is occurring on a multi-site installation of Drupal 6.

Simple MySQL Backup Script

Submitted by packetmad on 15 December, 2005 - 00:00

Below is a simple database backup script to use with MySQL.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

# Backup - Script used to backup MySQL databases to an NFS share.
# VERSION: 1.2
# DATE: 12152005
# AUTHOR: packetmad

# This is a Freebsd 4.x-centric script. It may run on other
# versions of Freebsd, or any other BSD for that matter, but I
# wrote it on a Freebsd 4.7 system. It's not even guaranteed
# to run on that.

# Speaking of guarantees, warranties, etc., there ain't one, so
# don't even try. :P
# I am not responsible for the output of this script, nor am I

Debian: Email Server Build

Submitted by packetmad on 4 March, 2005 - 00:00

Another semi-how-to for my old email server build.

1. Partition harddrive:
/boot 150MB Primary hda1 bootable
/ 3000MB Logical hda5
/var 15000MB Logical hda6
/home 6000MB Logical hda7
swap 1024MB Primary hda3 end of drive
/usr Balance Logical hda8

2. Activate swap partition
3. Initialize / first, then the rest (all partitions ext3)
4. Install kernel
5. Configure network
6. Install base system via http
7. Make system bootable
a. Install lilo into the MBR
b. Put all entries into menu
8. Reboot system
9. Remove pcmcia packages

Database Server Build

Submitted by packetmad on 24 February, 2005 - 18:54

More for my records than anyone elses. Still someone may find some use for this information.

I started off by doing a standard network install of Debian Woody. After that I installed ssh and got to work.

Before doing anything else, I create a "poor man's" disk mirror. This probably isn't the best solution but it works for my needs. The first thing we need to do here is take a look at the current partition info:

venus:/# df | grep ^/dev
/dev/hde2 1999804 100580 1899224 6% /
/dev/hde1 999868 42036 957832 5% /boot
/dev/hde5 4000088 163476 3836612 5% /usr
