Installed:
- Nginx webserver
- PHP-fpm

I’m using the “sudo” command in PHP shell_exec(). So i put the www-data user in to the /etc/sudoers file.

Using this “Power Pack”:

Setting up WiFi – Debian Wheezy

Read full article  | No Comments

I used “2012_06_10_spindle_wheezy_public_alpha.img”.

First you should edit /etc/apt/sources.list:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Change it to:

deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main non-free

Update the local package index:

sudo apt-get update

Now, install some extra tools:

sudo apt-get install usbutils
sudo apt-get install wireless-tools
sudo apt-get install wpasupplicant

Plug your USB WiFi adapter

Figure out which chipset you have:

lsusb
....
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0ace:1215 ZyDAS ZD1211B 802.11g
....

In this example the chipset is “ZD1211B”

Check if there is any firmware available:

sudo apt-cache search zd1211

zd1211-firmware - Firmware images for the zd1211rw wireless driver

Found the package “zd1211-firmware”, let’s install that:

sudo apt-get install zd1211-firmware

Unplug the adapter, plug it back in again and run lsmod.

You should see mention of the firmware, in our case “zd1211″:

Module   Size   Used by
arc      4764   2
zd1211rw 40444  0
mac80211 171628 1 zd1211rw
cfg80211 123084 2 zd1211rw,mac80211
fuse     49036  1

With the command dmesg you can see if the firmware is loaded correctly.

To see which networks are available, run:

iwlist wlan0 scan

Create a configuration file for the WPA/WiFi settings:

sudo nano /etc/wpa.conf

Contents:

network={
ssid="YOUR SSID"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
psk="YOUR WPA PASSWORD"
}

And reference this in /etc/network/interfaces:

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

Sample content:

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa.conf

And the final stap, restart your networking subsystem :

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

Activation of IPv6 on Ubuntu server

Read full article  | No Comments

You can check if the Linux kernel supports IPv6, with the following command:

cat /proc/net/if_inet6

If above cat command fails, the IPv6 module is not loaded. Just login as root and type the following command:

modprobe ipv6

If you get a positive result than you can execute this commands to connect your IPv6 IP:

ip -6 addr add 2a01:238:422c::fa9:e635:c52c:56c8/64 dev venet0
ip route add ::/0 dev venet0

(2a01:238:422c::fa9:e635:c52c:56c8 is your IPv6 address)

The second line allows you to access other IPv6 hosts from the server.
Check your IPv6 connection:

traceroute6 ipv6.google.com
ping6 ipv6.google.com

Nieuwe “Tweakpack”/ServicePack voor HTC HD2

Read full article  | 1 Comment

Ik heb een “Tweakpack”/ServicePack gemaakt voor de HTC HD2, gebaseerd op de ServicePack van Laurentius26.
Er worden geen extra programma’s geïnstalleerd maar alleen enkele settings aangepast, welke ik zelf handig vind.

Het volgende wordt aangepast:

- Gevoeligheid touch (TouchPanel) verbeterd.
- Solitaire en BubbleBreaker weer beschikbaar bij Spelletjes. :+

- Extra Foto modes:
Video Share
GPS Photo

- Notificatie LED aan bij nieuwe SMS/Gemiste oproep/Voicemail.

- HTCAlbum: Niet minimaliseren maar sluiten.

Opera fixes:
- Haptic Feedback in Opera bij aanklikken Link.
- Links makkelijker aanklikken als je bent uitgezoomd.
- Aantal Opera Tabs naar 6.
- Splashscreen van de webbrowser heeft nu een mooi Opera “Thema” :)

- Telefoon:
Geen toetsgeluid bij intoetsen nummer.

(Met dank aan: adolfotregosa, tboy2000, Laurentius26 van XDA-Developers)
(TweakPack heb ik volledig getest op eigen HD2, installatie ervan blijft echter natuurlijk op eigen risico)
