This is a note to self, and I'm sure it will also benefit whoever always forgets what the right tool is: apt-get, aptitude, apt-cache or dpkg. 1. Listing packages from the command line dpkg --get-selections |grep <your-search-string> For example, if you need to know what PHP5 related packages are installed the corresponding command is: tudor@pandora / $ dpkg --get-selections | grep php5
libapache2-mod-php5 install
php5 install
php5-cli install
php5-common install
php5-curl install
php5-gd install
php5-memcached install
php5-mysql install
php5-sqlite install
php5-xcache install
tudor@pandora / $ 2. Listing files for a given package from the command line: This provides a quick way to locate the ini files or data/cache directories for a given package dpkg -L <package-name> tudor@pandora / $ dpkg -L libapache2-mod-php5

This explains how to write PHP applications ready for international use. Utf-8 is a wide-used and well-suported character encoding which allows for special characters, like accented characters, characters with umlauts, cedillas and so on. Here's a few steps to follow to ensure your data gets correctly stored in utf8 encoding: place this at the very top of your 'entry' PHP script or your config PHP script(to make sure the code gets executed site-wide): <?php //set INTL encoding for PHP sources and regexp
mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8");
mb_regex_encoding("UTF-8"); When outputting html, make sure you set document encoding by specifying a HTTP header with PHP <?php header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8');or a meta tag in your HTML <head> 'section': <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> Be first to comment this article |

First of all, you may ask yourself why would you want to do this. I did it because I did not want to waste a blank CD. This Mint installation was performed using a Live Linux booted with PXE( I used plop linux , which is a lightweight Linux distribution. Be first to comment this article |

There are a lot of articles on this issue. I'm writing this as a note to self, as I often tend to forget how to setup SSH authentication without password upon reinstalling the OS or changing SSH keys. Be first to comment this article |

The issue I was encountering was that MySQL 5.1.3 on Ubuntu 9.10 was not allowing external connections, i.e. connections from a host different from the host the server is running on. Comments (6) |
