microSDHC card behaving unusual**

Happen to partition the mmc into 5 partitions 3p +2extended but later on with some tweaking in the fstab wasn't able to mount the swap partition, not only that the fdisk /dev/mmcblk0 was not showing any partition with p switch (the mmc was detected properly by the kernel used dmesg|grep mmc and also the /dev was populated by created partitions ) . so commented the mmcblk partition in fstab and restarted the device which enabled to see the partition in fdisk - no idea why it behaved that way. So again formatted mmc card into 4 primary partition. lets see what happens now.

Follow up - Fatal error: Allowed memory size.....

Follow up on the previous blog entry
Until yesterday I presumed without verifying that I have set the php memory limit to 128MB from within drupal in settings.php  in hosting environment as I have done it in my test environment but only when the fatal error msg was displayed I verified the mem limit which was not affected by the changes in the settings.php.

setting up a realtime sandbox env....

Anyone involved in any sort of development do know that the sandbox environment is one which they relish setting up. As a kid I remember my father always stressing that in a mathematical problem the answer will revert back to the question hence give importance to the testing may be that's the reason I always got first class (+60%) all thru out the academic career because I was invoved in testing the answer, resulting in not answering the whole questions.:)

wished for a ginnie

It wasn't much of an affort to convert a white box into black box running the much needed recipie of disaster. The whole day passed setting up the box and installing the much needed environment. Forgot to mention that the motherboard was pretty old but was a beauty when the needed resources where provided. There are times when I wished I could have a ginnie at my disposal to carry out the niche task.

The old mother board was needing 20pin connector while the ATX cabinet was having 24

Other day involved in changing the port of apache

It was a simple task of accesssing the webpage from different box in a lan env, but for some crappy reason the wa3002g4 router won't allow the traffic to pass.Igniting the grey matter and a bit of googling found that most of the port in the router is blocked and those allowed are 80 and some other predefined services like tftp, telnet. The port 80 is reserved by the router to access the webadmin page. So thought of changing the port of my webserver to 8080.

NB:- I was able to ping between two boxes. Hmmmm

sudo vi /etc/apache2/ports.conf
