PHP package dependencies for Drupal and Nginx:

At the time of this writing, a lot of the text below is ripped off from http://simplesamlphp.org/docs/1.10/simplesamlphp-ukaccess, but their document is out of date so this has some new changes.

Download simpleSAMLphp from their website. I am using simpleSAMLphp 1.10.

Extract it somewhere (e.g. /var/www/simplesamlphp)

Summary

I was on the hostigation $10/month plan running CentOS6. I got a virtual machine up and running fast, but things were not working smoothly like they were with Linode, and I felt uncomfortable about the security practice of emailing usernames and passwords in clear text. I got my refund within a few hours.

I was setting up a customized logwatch on my CentOS 5 server. I would get the following error:

print() on unopened filehandle OUTFILE at /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/logwatch.pl.orig line 1291.

Make sure that the folder you are trying to delete exists nowhere else. In my case, I noticed that a folder existed in my TRASH folder. Strangely Outlook allows you to create folders with the same name, but when you go to delete it, then some name conflict or confusion happens.

In my case, I could not use Remote Desktop to open VMware Workstation 8, and then try to access its virtual machine's virtual CD-ROM drive that is connected to the physical CD-ROM. I would get the error "Unable to process the CD-ROM device 'D:': Insufficient permission to access the file. Please ensure that your configuration is correct. Failed to connect virtual device scsi1:0."

Once I went to the physical machine, everything worked fine.

Currently there is no Mendeley silent installer or Mendeley MSI. The quick way to install the Mendeley desktop application is to run the below command:

Mendeley-Desktop-1.3.2-win32.exe /S


To uninstall, execute in your OS's Program Files directory:

c:\program files(x86)\Mendeley Desktop\Uninstaller.exe /S


In Sharepoint 2010, I get the error "the business data connectivity metadata store is currently unavailable" when using Sharepoint Desginer 2010 to create a new External Content Type. I also see that I was getting (401) unauthorized errors after seeing the error message.

SOLUTION: change the authentication provider from BASIC AUTHENTICATION to Windows Integrated Authentication (NTLM) in Sharepoint 2010's Central Administration->Application Management page for your site(s).

Below are some pictures of the Radford Court Guest Suite. It is a 1-bedroom unit that allows up to 3 people in the room. You can only get this guest suite if a current resident signs you in. The cost was a little under $100/night. You do get a discount if you stay multiple days. It was convenient to have my guest stay in the same complex as me as opposed to driving to a motel/hotel.
