DirectAdmin
Memcached

I just want to try if Memcached can really help my server load or not. So, I look around to find the way how to do it. There are a couple ways but to me, below are what I did to installed it. Get Libevent which is require to install Memcached. Their homepage is here -> http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ wget http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent-1.4.13-stable.tar.gz tar -xvf libevent-1.4.13-stable.tar.gz cd libevent-1.4.13-stable ./configure;make;make install; Then, get Memcached from http://memcached.org

I have searched many places how to display user IP for each comment. There is no complete answer in any topics that I found. Therefore, I just tried each part of each information until I know how to do it. Below is what I did to make it work: 1. Search file "comment.module" here - > "modules/comment/comment.module" 1.1. Add c.hostname into query line number 939

VMWare
Parallels
OS X

I just switched to OS X (Leopard) a few weeks ago and I still need to run a few Windows applications that I still couldn’t find anything comparable in MAC OS. Many choices are available for me starting from Bootcamp that I need to reboot every time I want to run Windows applications. Or try either VMWare Fusion or Parallels Desktop to run a virtual machine so that I don’t need to restart computer every time I need to run Windows Application.

Cacti, DirectAdmin : Install Spine 0.8.7d as a poller instead of a default one.

DirectAdmin
Cacti
I would like to use Spine instead of default Cacti's poller. At first, I'm thinking about to use Dag repository. It should work easily if I don't have DirectAdmin installed. However, I do have DirectAdmin installed and that caused dependencies problem when I tried to yum install it. So, I need to compile Spine by myself. I checked at Cacti website and found "Compiling Spine for Redhat/Fedora Linux" The steps seem to be easy but it's not. I got and error :

Cacti
It's been a while that I do nothing with Cacti. So, I decided to upgrade Cacti from version 0.8.7b ( http://bxtra.net/Articles/2008-09-18/Steps-how-install-Cacti-CentOS-52-DirectAdmin ) to version 0.8.7d. 1. Get Cacti version 0.8.7d shell> cd /var/www/html shell> wget http://www.cacti.net/downloads/cacti-0.8.7d.tar.gz 2. Change directory of Cacti 0.8.7b (Old) to something Else. Then, extract Cacti 0.8.7d and change directory name to the one we use. shell> mv cacti cacti_old_version shell> tar xzvf cacti-0.8.7d.tar.gz
