Setting up apache2 (2.2.3-3.2ubuntu0.1) ...
pnix@pnix-a7n:~$
I fix the “Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
” warning message by add “ServerName <myservername>” to '/etc/apache2/apache2.conf'.
Another thing is apache use 127.0.1.1 instead of 127.0.0.1. In '/etc/hosts' file it has a line state that
127.0.1.1 <myservername>
I just change 127.0.1.1 to 127.0.0.1.
Now try to restart apache2 again. The warning message will be gone.
pnix@pnix-a7n:~$ sudo apache2 -k restart

Note: I just know that the address 127.0.0.1 to 127.255.255.254 are all loopback address.

Use any text editor create a file called phptest.php that have one line '' then move it to web root directory[/var/www by default]. Open web browser and goto 'http://myservername/phptest.php'. If everything is ok you should see something like this.

Fixing sendmail take a long time to start

I notice that my database box[FC6+Oracle10.2] take along time to startup. Sendmail and sm-client very very slow to start[ about 5 minutes ]. There's something wrong in /etc/hosts file. 'newalises' command take long time to update and finish with error below. [root@ora10g ~]# newaliases WARNING: local host name (ora10g) is not qualified; see cf/README: WHO AM I? /etc/aliases: 76 aliases, longest 10 bytes, 765 bytes total [root@ora10g ~]# cat /etc/hosts # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.1.55 ora10g [root@ora10g ~]# To fix this, custom hostname[ora10g] need to append to localhost line in /etc/hosts.

using Class.getResource() load resource file in Eclipse

There are many ways to load resource file in java app. What sun recommended is using Class.getResource(" resource_name ") or Class.getResourceAsStream(" resource_name ") then you will get URL and InputStream respectively. If resource_name is specified without "/", it will be prepend with Class package. So resource file must be in same place[folder structure] as the Class. What I love to do is call getResource() with "/" and put resource file at the root of package. This way i can have separate resource folder. below is in Eclipse, 1. From Package explorer right click src folder->click import 2. In import dialog, Choose General->File System ->next 3. from directory:->Browse to your resource folder. 4. to folder:-> I add "resource" as a folder name under src folder. then click "Finish". In the code, load resource with this.getClass().getResource("/resource/buttons1.png") or this.getClass().getResourceAs

Converting dat to mpeg file, to burn vcd on ubuntu

Creating vcd [from dat file] on WinXP, I use "Nero Burning Rom". It can burn dat file to vcd directly. On ubuntu, AFAIK, No burning cd software to burn dat to vcd. I use k3b but it can't burn dat file. It support only mpeg-1 and mpeg-2 format. Dat file need to convert to mpeg first. Thist post will show how I install and use vcdgear to convert dat file to mpeg file. pnix@pnix-a7n:~/progdl$ wget http://www.vcdgear.com/files/vcdgear176-040415_linux.tar.gz --04:21:14-- http://www.vcdgear.com/files/vcdgear176-040415_linux.tar.gz => `vcdgear176-040415_linux.tar.gz' Resolving www.vcdgear.com... 66.98.192.104 Connecting to www.vcdgear.com|66.98.192.104|:80... connected.
