I do get sick of seeing all the identically base design on motorcycles, I can understand it on racers, as they are honed to race, but a road bike has so much more breadth for design possibilities depending on lifestyle. I just love this Honda Cbr1000rr bike model, it makes me very happy when a design works, and at the same time, absolutely ignores convention.

As per our design, it will be equipped with a cooled motor to air from 200cc with a freedom for the lean angle; specially tuned Showa sports suspension, including 43mm inverted front forks;;a bike full of purpose , handling and a unique feel. Above all else it will be a bike that will offer a cost-effective hugely rewarding riding experience . I’m expecting the basic model to be completed within September 2009.

I don’t have much idea about how this design affects the mileage and performance (the dry weight will be less than 150kgs) , as I am still learning about it. If you are an expert in bike modelling and want to know more about the design, please email me sumith@sumith.net and I’ll get back to you.

The term domain name has multiple related meanings:

* A name that identifies a computer or computers on the Internet. These names appear as a component of a Web site’s URL, e.g. en.wikipedia.org. This type of domain name is also called a hostname.
* The product that domain name registrars provide to their customers. These names are often called registered domain names.
* Names used for other purposes in the Domain Name System (DNS), for example the special name which follows the @ sign in an email address, or the Top-level domain names like .com, or the names used by the Session Initiation Protocol (VoIP), or DomainKeys.
* They are sometimes colloquially (and incorrectly) referred to by marketers as “web addresses”.

This article will primarily discuss registered domain names. See the Domain Name System article for technical discussions about general domain names and the hostname article for further information about the most common type of domain name.

For those of you that are not running RPM-based distros, you’re probably feeling a bit left out. Up until now, all of my tutorials have dealt with upgrading RPM-based distros. Well, that ends here. I’m going to walk through the fairly simple process of compiling and installing XCache for httpd from the original source.

The current stable release of XCache is 1.0.3. The “Unstable” release, made for PHP 5.1 & 5.2, is 1.2.0. Despite the label, I have not found anything “unstable” about the 1.2.0 version. That said, there have been a few issues reported on the vBulletin forums for users of PHP 4. If you are running PHP 4, I’d recommend that you use 1.0.3, just to be safe. Now, down to the work.

Assuming that you already have a full development environment on your system (gcc, gcc-c++, make, php-devel, etc.), the first thing you’ll need to do is to download the source tarball to your computer. Pick the version you want and then continue to the next step.

XCache 1.0.3 - PHP 4.x
XCache 1.2.0 - PHP 5.1 & 5.2

Once you’ve downloaded the source pacakge to your server, unpack it and then enter the “xcache” directory that was just created. At this point, you’ll want to run the following commands. Even a slow system should be done within 1 or 2 minutes, so don’t go anywhere.

    * phpize
    * ./configure –enable-xcache –enable-xcache-optimizer
    * make
    * make install

The output of “make install” is very important as it lets you know where the compiled module was installed. Make sure that you remember or write down that string.

Now that the xcache.so module is installed, you’ll need to configure it. If your install of PHP parses the /etc/php.d/ folder then you should create a file in that folder called “xcache.ini”. If not, just open your php.ini file and paste in the following:

[xcache-common]
    zend_extension = /usr/lib/php4/xcache.so

    ; required for >=php5.1 if you turn XCache on
    auto_globals_jit = Off

    [xcache.admin]
    xcache.admin.user = “admin”
    ; paste the output of md5(”password”) below
    xcache.admin.pass = “”

    [xcache]
    xcache.size = 32M
    xcache.count = 1
    xcache.slots = 8K
    xcache.mmap_path = “/dev/zero”
    xcache.cacher = On
    xcache.optimizer = On

Based on your configuration, you may want to make a few changes. If “/usr/lib/php4″ was not where “make install” claimed to have installed the xcache.so module, change it. Likewise, if your system has multiple processors (count logical cores from Hyper-Threading), change the value of “xcache.count”. Finally, if you plan to use the web admin interface, you’ll need to fill in “xcache.admin.pass”. This value should be a MD5 of the password you want to use (if you need an MD5 generator, try this one).

If you filled in the password, you should also copy the contents of the “admin” folder from the “xcache” source folder to somewhere web-accessible. No changes need to be made and the “config.php.example” file should be left as-is.

At this point, all that’s left is to restart httpd and you should be good. Check your phpinfo() once you’ve restarted httpd to make sure that xcache is listed.

If you want to replace a string ‘gmail’ with ‘hotmail’ in all the files under a folder, say ’sumith’ , then go under the folder sumith, then issue command

replace gmail hotmail — *

If you want to replace the string ‘aol’ with ‘yahoo’ in just a single file say ‘techie’, then issue the command

replace aol yahoo –techie

Ventrilo is a proprietary Voice over IP program with clients for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. Most users of Ventrilo use a headset or microphone and use the program to talk freely to each other, similar to a telephone conference call. Ventrilo is often used by multiplayer computer game players.

Game servers can be classified as listen servers and dedicated servers. Listen servers are run on the same machine as the game client. When the client disconnects, the server is shut down, as the server and host client are run together. Listen servers usually cannot support many players, due to bandwidth and CPU requirements. The software running the listen server typically limits the number of players for this very reason.

TeamSpeak is proprietary Voice over IP software that allows users to speak on a chat channel with other users, much like a telephone conference call. A TeamSpeak user will often wear a headset with an integrated microphone. Users use the TeamSpeak client software to connect to a TeamSpeak server of their choice, from there they can join chat channels.

Phplist can be installed using fantastico, however the installed software doesn’t work. It throws a blank page while trying to access phplist after the installation.

The following BASH script basically takes the files already available under the directories “backup” and “domains”, puts them nicely under one directory and tar-gzips it all. (the backup and domains directories come from untaring the User Backup created under DirectAdmin)

you then have to upload the resulting tar-gzip to the newly created cPanel account and untar-zip it. The file manager in cPanel does this with a click.

this script still has LOADS of problems, and if you’re unexperienced with the linux FS, permissions, etc… don’t come this way

What this does, however, is saving a lot of time if the accounts in question have many e-mails accounts (I did this because some of my clients had 100+ emails), and also takes care of the user files (public_html and everything else)

Resuming, this is what the script does:

- copy the quota file
- copy the IMAP folders and inbox folder of the main account
- copy the squirrelmail settings
for EACH e-mail account it does this:
- generate the entry and update the shadow and passwd file with its username and password (you keep everyone’s passwords!)
- copy the IMAP folders and inbox to the respective directory

to the domain files, it does this also:
- update references in every file (php, html, etc) by removing “domains/domain.net”
(ie /home/skyhorse/domains/skyhorse.org/public_html becomes /home/skyhorse/public_html)

This does not handle FTP settings, subdomain settings, dns settings, or anything else.
But hey, it saved me hundreds of hours of pain…

It is easily improved, so if you do, please send it back to me

BTW, the scripts assumes you’re using the SAME username in directadmin and in cpanel for each account, and the same domains as well.
It is also

It can also take a bit of hard disk space, since it literally duplicates the accounts files. If this is an issue, script around it to use the /tmp directory or even better, do some pipelining with tar

One last thing, although you see the CHMOD command being used, when untaring all files loose the damn permissions.
you NEED to change the permissions manually (inbox NEEDS to be group writable) or find a way to resolve the issue, which I couldn’t.

here it is anyway, remember to replace the variables with your own settings:
