If you're trying to reindex data under "Index Management" but can't, do the following to fix the problem...
in SSH.
rm -rf var/locks/*
Now try again, and you should be successful
If that doesn't work, also make sure the var/locks dir is writable.
chmod -R 777 var/locks
If you're looking to place a block anywhere inside your content, simply do the following:
go to /admin/build/block
select the block you want to insert into your content to get the proper block references...
e.g. I created a custom views block called "latest_news" which, if you click it's url looks like:
/admin/build/block/configure/views/latest_news-block
so basically, you'll use "views" at the beginning of the function reference and "latest_news-block" at the end:
Menu block
So, you're worried about accidentally wiping out your entire system or important directory by doing something like rm -rf / or rm -rf *
with safe-rm , it won't allow you to do that, you'll get something like:
$ rm -rf /
Skipping /
Here's how to install:
If you did TOP in ssh, and noticed httpd process has a high cpu load, and has been running for a long time (e.g. over 5 minutes) then you might try lowering your MaxRequestsPerChild.
vi /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-mpm.conf
Now change your MaxRequestsPerChild from 1000 to 20...
StartServers 5
MinSpareServers 10
MaxSpareServers 20
ServerLimit 812
MaxClients 812
MaxRequestsPerChild 20
service httpd restart
Here's a code snippet for Drupal to add filefield data to any node or block.
Basically this is used to pull information from a CCK filefield.
If you recently tried installing a 3TB Hard Drive on an NVIDIA nForce motherboard you'll notice that only about 1/3 of the drive is recognized by Windows. The fix is quite simple:
1. Download NVIDIA nForce Drivers 15.58 (64bit) , Download NVIDIA nForce Drivers 15.58 (32bit) or later
2. Install the NVIDIA NFORCE 15.58 drivers and reboot your system after the install is done.
3. You're done. Your PC should be able to see the entire 3TB drive (it should be around 2.72TB)
So... Here I was playing sets on my new Traktor S4 on my 2010 iMac, and noticed that Traktor was acting weird--comments were getting erased, ratings were disappearing, play counts weren't being kept. In other words,Traktor's explorer worked on some files and not others.
I tried changing file permissions, reinstalling Traktor, etc... nothing solved the problem... Doing research didn't show me any concrete solutions (e.g. change the play count settings; this didn't work).
Then it occurred to me, I haven't defragmented my Windows PC in over 2 months. And a few weeks before, I had my windows PC sync all my mp3 files to my iMac.
So long story short, the mp3 files were messed up ("garbage at the end of file")...
Multiple Table Rates (aka multipletablerates) was a very popular extension in the magento 1.3 and earlier days... However, after several magento versions this extension basically became completely unstable/buggy (this is normal as it only lists magento 1.1 compatability)... Even so, it still worked on magento 1.3 with a few minor bugs... Then later down the road other extensions came up (mostly paid) that provided similar functionality, plus some, and minus the bugs...
Magento's "Catalog Price Rules" was always a buggy experience, ever since magento 1.3... I don't know what's going with the development, but it's still buggy up to 1.4.1 ...
So here are a couple of fixes I found.
Magento 1.4.0.1:
source: http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/194930/#t245120
1. Open up Observer.php in /app/code/core/Mage/CatalogRule/Model/
2. Find the dailyCatalogUpdate() method
3. At the end of the method, before “return $this;”, add:
$this->applyAllRules( $this );
4. (Not sure if this step is necessary) Open up /app/code/core/Mage/CatalogRule/etc/config.xml
5. Find the crontab > jobs > catalogrule_apply_all area
6. Change
<cron_expr>0 1 * * *</cron_expr>
This is probably an annoyance for all those that use keyboard CTRL commands (like, CTRL-C and CTRL-V) and accidentally keep hitting CTRL + mouse scroll wheel, which zooms in and out, or enlarges and decreases text size in your browser...
Here's how to disable that in firefox...
In your address bar, type in
about:configsearch for
mousewheel.withcontrolkey.actionChange the value to "0"
Restart your browser, and you're all set.

To order products by a specific order, e.g. to order products by the order specified under category listing:
set in your admin: yoursite.com/admin/system_config/edit/section/catalog/
Product listing sort by: Best ValueAnd for those wondering where 'category products' is... it's located here: /admin/admin/catalog_category/ (under "Category Products" tab, when you click on any category)
In case your mysqld won't work with
# service mysqld restart
or
# service mysqld start
or
# service mysqld stopdo this:
# killall mysqldFor a Vista/Server 2008/Windows 7 install usb drive
Set your correct timezone:
# timeconfig* You may need to install timeconfig 'yum install tzdata'
select your timezone.. select "system clock uses UTC"
It's no secret, Windows 7 is the best windows ever--it doesn't matter that the RC build 7100 not the final version, it's still a LOT better and faster than the latest and most optimized Windows Vista.
OK... anyhow... some people don't have CD/DVD drives in their PCs, so using a thumb drive is usually the best way to go.
In Windows Vista
Original uploadprogress doesn't seem to be developed any longer, and hence doesn't support PHP 7. However, there's a PHP 7 compatible version we can use:
cd /usr/local/src/ git clone https://github.com/Jan-E/uploadprogress.git cd uploadprogress phpize ./configure make make install
Now add the extension to your php.ini
vi /usr/local/lib/php.ini
Add the following to your extensions section:
extension=uploadprogress.so
Restart apache
service httpd restart

If something refuses to run, try:

Example: if dovecot doesn't run or install/upgrade, try doing...

We use dovecot on our servers to process email. However, with IMAP it keep freezings so here are possible solutions.
# vi /etc/dovecot.conf

I installed a new printer and Quickbooks Pro 2008 just would not print anything--it seemed like after you hit print, the print-job would just disappear (not even get submited)...
-Add all your ips in directadmin under "IP management"
(and assign 2 ips to admin)
http://xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:2222/CMD_IP_MANAGER
-Register nameserver at registrar
(namecheap.com is my fav; networksolution.com is the worst for this... it's not longer an option you can click on the website, you have to send an email request for this)
-Add nameservers to server:
1. go to user level, and add the new domain you registered (leave default settings, and tweak them after)
2. go back to reseller level, and click "nameserver" and select 2 ips you want to use and click "create" then set the 2 new nameservers for "Set the Nameservers that will be assigned to new users" (it should be added by default)
-Share nameserver ips (so you're able to add other domains to them):
1. IP
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
2. DNS
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/hosts
3. Router
/etc/sysconfig/network
4. Restart the network
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart
