Two "little" time consuming things with postgresql and phusion passenger

First of all, I like these little problems because they make me so much better with dealing with linux. And since its a hobby of mine, I cant really complain.

Anyway, it took me a while to figure out that postgresql could not connect via the console because of some settings regarding authorization.

Go to your pg_hba.conf and change from peer to md5 and you can login your database with your user and password.


-----------------------------------------------------------

The second thing also troubled me a while and I was checking everything, because the log files did tell what was going wrong.
  • passenger was running fine
  • apache2 was set up ok, same with my virtual hosts
  • and rvm was running wonderfully
But I could not connect to my virtual hosts.

And after a decent research on the internet and after quite a lot of message boards and posts I found the answer:

check for the apache2/sites-enabled/default

And there it was, these default files overwrote my virtualhosts and as a result passenger could not get to work.

After deleting those default files it worked fine again.

PS: it worked all fine before but either froxlor or webmin have messed it up.

rails + carrierwavve + plupload = multiple file upload

Right now I am very happy! I finished my work on creating a file upload method in rails for more than one file, altogether handled by rails sessions and as objects. First I had to learn a bit more about how rails works and I achieved that by reading a lot: books, screencasts and blogs. In this blog post I like to share what I accomplished, but without the hussle of putting code blocks in here, so watch out for bold formatted text as that is the code. My goal was to have one site with just the pure option of uploading files. All file handling would be done behind the scenes by myself logging onto my server. That said you are not going to see any fancy CRUD here. Lets start then! And dont forget to versioning your app BEFORE you try something new! [e.g. git] > rails g scaffold Photo title:string Now add carrierwave to you Gemfile and run > bundle install >rails g uploader Photo Alltogether you have model, controller, views and an uploader folder with the Ph...

LEGO Alternativen: Sluban und COBI

Ich habe vor kurzem wieder Feuer gefangen für LEGO. Und das kam durch die Dokumentation über die Errichtung des LEGO-Hauses in Billund. Also habe ich meine Steine gereinigt und die Kinder fangen gerade an, auch mal etwas zu bauen. Teilweise stammen meine Steine aus den 1970ern, 1980er und viel aus den 1990ern - alles passt noch wunderbar aufeinander. Viele Designs von LEGO gehen doch Wege, die ich selber nicht so toll finde. Ausserdem verstehe ich nicht, dass etliche Designs aufgegeben wurden. Letztere Sets findet man dann zu horrenden Preisen auf den einschlägigen Plattformen. Also sah ich mich um, denn das Patent für das Baustein-Prinzip ist abgelaufen und andere Firmen produzieren auch Stecksteine. Sluban ... ist Mist und wird von mir nie mehr gekauft. Die Firma stiehlt von LEGO, hat aber auch interessante Designs. Gerade bei militärischen Sachen findet der Fan einige gut aussehende Sets. Aber die Steine wirken nicht besonders toll, es gibt Macken, die Anleitung kön...

debian 6 vserver - a new installation due to centOS update problem - my steps

My centOS vserver broke down after a "yum update" and even the centOS community forum could not give an answer within 24h. In my books that is poor for the almighty and stable centOS. Bare in mind that I am just a normal user of linux, no professional and definitely no expert when it comes to server, but I can read, try and share my findings: debian 6 installation steps via ssh secure your server: adduser foobar for security purposes  change /etc/sshd/sshd_conf to PermitRootLogin no now you can login as foobar and change to root via su - visudo for sudo command permissions and put this at the bottom: foobar   ALL=(ALL) ALL change hostname change hostname in /etc/hostname and in /etc/hosts reboot login via rsa key rather than password locally do ssh-keygen ssh-copy-id -i foobar@hostname... ssh now works without passwords but with keys (for easy deployment) install ruby and rails via rvm login as root always good to have: sudo apt-get install...
