Installing LAMP in Ubuntu

LAMP = Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP (at times also Perl 7 Python). LAMP is the most preferred environment for creating web applications. With increasing popularity of Linux operating systems this environment is widely being chosen for creating amazing web applications. Installing LAMP on your computer or server is very simple. I use Ubuntu Linux 10.10 and hence this post is about installing LAMP on a Ubuntu machine. But this remains the same for almost all versions of Linux.

Prerequisites:
  • Linux desktop or server version. 
Process of installing LAMP:
  1. # sudo apt-get install apache2
  2. # sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
  3. # sudo apt-get install mysql-server
  4. # sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
  5. # sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-auth-mysql
  6. # sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart


Testing:
Open a browser and type http://localhost in the address bar. You should be getting a page similar to the below displayed image.



Done!

Bulk Upload users into LDAP Directory

In this post I am not going to talk about setting up your LDAP using OpenLDAP. There are lots of websites explaining that. However when I tried to upload users in bulk into the directory I was not able to do the same. The reason there was not even a single article which could give me some information on the same.

I converted this spreadsheet into a .CSV file. # sudo su - (only for convenience)   # cat user-file.csv Krishnan, Sethuraman, krishnan@mydomain.com Anidha, Krishnan, anidha@mydomain.com Tanya, Krishnan, tanya@mydomain.com My requirement was to populate the following attributes in the LDAP. dn: uid=krishnan,ou=people,o=mycompany changetype: add objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectclass: top cn: Krishnan Sethuraman sn: Sethuraman uid: krishnan mail: krishnan@mydomain.com userPassword:...

Dominos Pizza

Image
Today there was no power supply at my home due to which my wife was not able to cook. She cooks using electronic appliances. Hence we decided to order Pizza. We since mid 2010 regularly order Pizza at Dominos  and did the same this afternoon too. Today the pizza was delivered very hot and tasted the better than our previous orders. In short I can say that today I had the best dominos pizza. I was extremely excited and decided to blog about the same in my free time. After finishing the Pizzas I fed my dog took her out for a walk. I then got a call from the Dominos customer support team asking about my experience and any suggestions I had. Man! I was surprised and felt like a king. This does not happen to Indian customers every day. There is a company out there which really cares about its customers. I don't know if they called me out of the blue or if this is a new practice but any way it felt good. I am currently reading Jeff Jarvis' book "What Would Google Do?" ...
