Dags för en ny vecka, nya utmaningar……

Jaha, så har denna helgen också gått. Otroligt vad dagarna går, har faktiskt kommit fram till att veckan bara består av två dagar, måndag och fredag. Hur som helst. Granen är inhandlad och klädd… ja jag vet, är ute i god tid för en gångs skull 😉 Köpte ny TV i Söndags. En 40″ Samsung LCD blev det. Det börjar likna något, nu återstår bara att inhandla ett hemmabio paket också.

Time to upgrade WordPress MU 1.2.5

A few days ago I upgraded my WordPress MU installation. It all went smoothly with no problems at all. Thank you guys at WordPress for doing such a great software. I’m hosting my site at Lunarpages and since it is a shared server you can’t use ssh, so I had to use FTP and cPanel when upgrading. Ok, this is how I upgraded wpmu from 1.2.5 to 1.3. I know that this step isn’t always my first choice but I thought that I would try it anyway, RTFM.

Installing Dbvisualizer on Ubuntu

Since I changed from Windos to Linux Ubuntu I don’t have all of my dev tools installed. One of those tools is the great universal database tool called DbVis from Minq. Minq doesn’t deliver DbVis as synapt package so I had to find a alternative and since I’m not a Linux blackbelt I had to do some googling. I found this blog and this and this that gave me a hint of what to do.

Installing WordPress MU on Lunarpages

I wanted to install a blogging software that everyone in the family could use. Lunarpages has the Fantastico package that contains the WordPress software. Unfortunately this is the single -user version of WordPress and I wanted each and every family member to have their own blog e.g. http://blogs.merikan.com/. This how I did it. Create a subdomain named blogs (blogs.yourdomain.com) Create database wpmu Create db user wpmu and add the user to the database Download the wpmu tar file and extract it on the desktop Now upload the exploded tar file to the root directory of the newly created subdomain named blogs (/www/blogs/) Run the WordPress MU installation script by accessing http://blogs.
