PHP Date Timezone error ( date_default_timezone_set )

December 9th, 2011

I was experiencing an error regarding date() function on PHP 5 with error message like this :
Message: date(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'Asia/Jakarta' for 'WIT/7.0/no DST' instead

For quick fix in PHP5, add this line

date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Jakarta")

How to get list of files handled by process

April 19th, 2011

Ever wondered which program has a particular file or directory open? Now you can find out. Handle is a utility that displays information about open handles for any process in the system. You can use it to see the programs that have a file open, or to see the object types and names of all the handles of a program.

Handle is targeted at searching for open file references, so if you do not specify any command-line parameters it will list the values of all the handles in the system that refer to open files and the names of the files. It also takes several parameters that modify this behavior.

Execute an exe from VBS with space in file name

April 18th, 2011

Hi All,

I was having problem on executing an exe file from vbs, the problem was the exe path has space between it. For example “C:\Program Files\test\my app.exe”.

The vbs will returns an error which says file not found for that path. This is happened because after the space, the vbs will treat the entire command after the space as arguments.

To fix it we can use multiple quote like this.

wscript.run """C:\Program Files\test\my app.exe"""

Use 3 quote.

What if we want to use arguments in our command?

wscript.run """C:\Program Files\test\my app.exe"" /command args"

Cheers!

How to autostart service in linux ubuntu

April 8th, 2011

I was creating a program using python for my linux box and I need this program runs every time when the server booting. I was googling how to get this done, some are suggesting to edit the rc.d file then add our line in there. That’s work though, but I found something better, we can manage what service will be started on booting using rcconf.

You will need to install rcconf from repository to get this work,

apt-get install rcconf

Once installed you can use it by entering this command

rcconf

The rcconf will display what service/program that located in /etc/init.d/, mark the service you want to start manually then save it.

That’s it, so simple and easy :)

How to Flush DNS Cache in Windows XP

March 18th, 2011

If you have a domain and set a new nameserver for your domain, your computer will not access the server behind your new nameserver. It’s happened because your computer cached the DNS so when you trying to access your server using the domain, it will always redirected to previous server. The DNS cache  will be updated automatically after period of time, max time for this update is 2 x 24 hours.

To manually flush your DNS cache on Windows XP, you can use this command in command prompt. Open your command prompt by pressing Windows Button + R, then type cmd.

Use this command.

ipconfig /flushdns

Access CPanel behind company proxy firewall

December 2nd, 2010

I was having problem accessing my web server from my company, my company network only open port 80 for internet access. So it would be impossible if someone trying to do to access CPanel behind this firewall.

But there’s a way for us to access CPanel via port 80 on our server, there’s no change at all both side our network or server. To access CPanel behind company firewall we can go to http://cpanel.domain.com, replace the domain.com with your own domain. For example http://cpanel.leoganda.net

By using this technique we are bypassing the port on our server, and accessing the port 80 over CPanel. So we gain access.
