LAMP adalah singkatan dari Linux, Apache, MySQL dan PHP. Tutorial ini akan menerangkan tentang cara instalasi webserver Apache, dengan dukungan PHP5 (mod_php) dan MySQL pada Fedora 11.

1. Catatan awal
Tutorial ini menggunakan hostname server1.contoh.com dengan IP 10.3.0.17. Setting ini mungkin berbeda dengan setting di komputer Anda.

2. Instal MySQL 5
Untuk menginstall MySQL, kita menggunakan perintah :

yum install mysql mysql-server

Selanjutnya kita konfigure agar MySQL otomatis start pada saat boot, dan start service MySQL:

chkconfig --levels 235 mysqld on
/etc/init.d/mysqld start


Mengganti password MySQL :


mysqladmin -u root password passwordbaru
mysqladmin -h server1.contoh.com -u root password passwordbaru

3. Install Apache2
Apache2 dapat diinstall menggunakan perintah berikut :

yum install httpd

Setelah itu, konfigure untuk agar Apache start pada saat booting :

chkconfig --levels 235 httpd on

Setelah itu start service apache :

/etc/init.d/httpd on

Setelah itu browse ke http://10.3.0.17 menggunakan browser Anda.

Halaman Default Apache

Pada Fedora, DocumentRoot apache berada pada /var/www/html, dan file konfigurasi berada pada /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. File-file konfigurasi lainnya berada pada folder /etc/httpd/conf.d/.

4. Install PHP5

yum install php

Setelah itu, restart service apache

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

5. Testing PHP5
Secara standart, DocumentRoot berada pada folder /var/www/html. Kita akan membuat 1 buah file PHP (info.php) di dalam folder tersebut dan kemudian memanggilnya melalui browser. File tersebut berisi tentang informasi-informasi yang berguna tentang PHP yang kita install, termasuk versi PHP yang diinstall.

vi /var/www/html/info.php

Dengan isi :

Selanjutnya kita browse ke http://10.3.0.17/info.php


6. Install php-mysql
Selanjutnya adalah instalasi paket php-mysql.

yum install php-mysql

Selanjutnya, restart service Apache :

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

Selanjutnya kita browse ke http://10.3.0.17/info.php untuk memastikan bahwa modul php-mysql sudah terinstall.

I am not a DIY person. I have resolved that long before I became a bride. I almost always nearly failed Home Ec. I would swap sewing projects for an elegy composition assignment in high school (My classmates got good grades in their English homework and and I got a fully made skirt in return. Fair enough.)

Obviously, Ivy who is marrying Paolo is NOT like me at all. She made these lamps/candle holders as centerpieces for her wedding. All 18 pieces of them. Amazing. Although she insists it wasn’t all that hard… Oh well, you guys might want to try. If you’re not like me, then you can hack this:

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

WHAT TO DO:

1) First, decide on a design for your lamp/candle holder (In Ivy’s case, their theme is damask so she printed this design on the vellum paper that was used).  Paste the ends of your vellum paper to form a cylindrical shape.  The diameter should fit your candle holder.

2) Accessorize by putting ribbons to cover the white margin and other areas that lack design. You can put tassels, beads, crystal, whatever works for you.

3) Place the vellum paper on the candleholder. You can use battery-operated lights or candles. If you’re using the latter, use wires to secure your vellum paper.  (Ivy says she read somewhere that a coating of shellac works but she did not try it on this one).

4) Turn it on or light it up and voila! Here you go…

Turntable + lamp + holes + your brain =  DREAMACHINE!

The Dreamachine was created by Brion Gysin; there’s an NFB documentary about it called FLicKeR. Hypnagogic, baby!

Do you have a lackluster or outdated lampshade that you’re ready to toss?  Instead, take a few minutes for an easy do-it-yourself makeover.  Since I can never seem to find the “just-right” lampshade, I’ve decided to go the DIY route. 

There are lots of options for the materials here.  Since I have another lamp I want to coordinate with – and it’s linen, I’m looking for another natural fiber. 

Here’s what you’ll need:

spray adhesive or fabric glue (depending on the material you select)

AND

• sheets of natural fibers from a craft store
• OR
• grass cloth wallpaper from a home improvement store

Cut the material to fit the shade – remember to leave an extra inch at the top and bottom and where the sides of the material meet.  Spray both the shade and the back of the sheet generously with adhesive.  Wrap the cloth tightly around the shade and fold over the extra width at the edges.  Let it dry overnight. 

Tip: Make sure your original lampshade is free of dust before adhering the sheet of natural fiber.

I seem to be incapable of blogging everyday… so I thought maybe I’d show you some blogs that are worth reading everyday. Or as often as they blog. Today I have some technical blogs.

Strobist – You want to know about off camera flash? Here is the place to go. But a word of warning… you may be inspired to get carried away with gear!

Photocrati – For Photographers by a Photographer. He has tutorials and reviews. Fab!

PixelatedImage – Has all kinds of good stuff. Mostly inspirational (he does NGO work… *sigh*) but he has some cool and cheap ebooks I may actually buy and reviews.

Hey! I’m sorry I haven’t been posting; it’s just that I have a huge Europe project to work on and it’s been kinda stressful. Anyways, as most of you have already heard, there are new Tinkerbell items in the Suite Shop! When you click on it, there will be a tab on the bottom called “Tinkerbell”. Once you’ve clicked that, you’ll see two items that you can get for free, a lamp and a pillow! You can also get more Tinkerbell stuff, but you have to buy them. Enjoy!

En steeds als ik dwaal langs straten in een stad kijk ik geboeid naar al die vensterramen met hun ongekende verhalen en geheimen.  Ramen die mij doen dromen en verlangen, die mij nieuwsgierig maken en mij foto’s laat nemen.

They say the last words of Oscar Wilde were:

“My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or the other of us has to go.”

Sometimes I wonder if he died in my house. I certainly can share the sentiment.

Birds on a light. Looks like they are evenly spaced on that lamp post. Did a head bird fly around and made sure the spacing was even between them?

November 5th in the UK always gives me a legitimate excuse to have a stinky bonfire and burn things!!

If anyone recalls an earlier post about me re-vamping my trusty copper half-cistern and dustbin lid garden bonfire, here it is in action on this year’s Bonfire Night. The improvements I made back then have been really successful, and it’s now even got a new lid (courtesy of a second metal dustbin lid), ideal for keeping the rain off or to let the last of the embers safely burn themselves out. I never did get around to burning the filigree into the upper regions, but there is always time before next year, I guess!

Here is a shot in full flame, and also in its cooled state (I love the blackened outer layer – hard to recall when still looked like copper!):

Burner in use and cooling down

Here are also some of the things I got up to with it that night:

Melting lead

I love this shot of some lead melting in an old saucepan – what doesn’t show very well in the photo is that the metal of the old saucepan itself was glowing red! I’m always amazed how hot the burner gets… The lead was then ladled out and used to fill in the base of my latest steampunk lamp (full details to follow when it’s completed).

In the meantime, here are some (upside-down) shots of the lamp base being constructed – the smaller top part partially filled with lead to hold the copper tube shaft in place (left), with the larger second part screwed over this (see the copper shaft protruding through and the larger hole I’ve cut to allow the lead to flow between the two sections (middle),  and a final shot of the lead having been poured in and set in place (right).

Base of new lamp being filled with lead

Here’s my favourite result from the night however… I had an old saw (found, as always, in a skip) that had a broken wooden handle. Rather than trying to unscrew the thoroughly rusted screws affixing the two parts, I thought I’d simply burn the wood off in the burner.

What I hadn’t banked on was the saw blade bending in the heat into a lovely subtle curve. When cooled it has, amazingly, lost none of its springiness! Given a coat of spray varnish to protect the rusty patina (it’s actually a lot darker than this photo shows but I had to push the Levels up a bit on order to show the blade off properly). So now, what to do with it?

It looks great as just an ornament, or would look wonderful mounted on some sort of pole in a upright position as a bit of minimalist sculpture. My favourite idea at the mo’ is to mount it on a wall at 90 degrees on its side, sticking out as some kind of artistic ’shelf’ . Will see how that works and post some shots up . In the meantime, if anyone has any other ideas, please let me know!

Curved saw blade

1. when the lamp shade was move, do not let the lamp bright
2. do not put the lamp to that fall down easy
3. when do not use the lamp please pull out the mains
4. do not near to window curtain

I’ve always loved your work.

just watched 500 Days Of Summer. wowy. i loves it =D to be honest, i didn’t want it to end, but, i guess everything has to end at some point. at least, all the good things do, the bad things kinda just die down for a while…

now i wanna spend the night watching chick-flicks and rom-coms. how gay. i want some maltesars as well… and a cuppa tea…

wowy i feel blue tonight… sad sad times. this is exactly the reason why I shouldn’t think. I make a much better air head! right now, im snuggled up in bed actually physically completely sat down under my covers, its cosy, its kinda like a tent. what makes this realy realy crazy awesome is that I have my lava lamp on so everything around me is kinda glowing red.

wowy i just had the creepiest thought, now i dont wanna come out from under these covers… ill say what I thought, but then you’re probably all gonna think im totally ridiculous or something. basically, i though that their could be all these crazy ass monsters waiting around my bed waiting until i come out so they can kill me or torture me or something. :S one thing that realy doesnt help this is the fact the lights outside of under here actually change because, you know, the lava moves.

buuuuurrrrrrggggghhhhhhh. damnit its only half nine. also, note to self, water plant tomorrow. itll die otherwise, and i dont wanna lose it. it always cheers me up in the morning.

one of my Guinnea Pigs slept most of today, and by lunch time when I hadnt seen her move, i started to get realy worried she was dead or something, apparently shes ok though =D

oh yeah, another thing, WELL DONE KEV!!!! super stoked and mega proud of ya for passing =D

wow taylor swifts songs seem so depressing now… they used to make me so happy :S

either way, i love her. <3

im off now.

blog ya later.

xo.

Saw this in a shop window in Brussels last week and now I think I need one….

another fabulous etsy find!  this owl lamp would light up my life, both literally and metaphorically.

Here’s a collection of simple hacks you can do in between larger projects. After the break we’ll look at converting an iPod from hard drive storage to Compact Flash, build an LED desk lamp using LEGO and USB power for charging, and use an Arduino shield to add network control at the touch of a button.

iPod HDD to CF Conversion

[Richard] tipped us off about converting an iPod from a hard drive to a Compact Flash card. We actually did this a few years ago. Because we frequently buy broken electronics we had an old iPod 20GB with a broken HDD. Knowing we had seen one wire-porn type diy adapter and reported on another, a quick search produced a ready-made solution.

[Richard] went the same route by purchasing a CF to 1.8″ IDE adapter and a 32GB Compact Flash card. Just crack open your iPod, unplug the broken HDD, plug in the adapter and CF card, close the case, and go through a normal iPod recovery cycle.Compact Flash is considerably cheaper than solid state hard drives which makes this a cheaper conversion than a comparable Zune upgrade.

There you have it, what once was broken is now whole.

LED LEGO Lamp

[chAos] put together a desk lamp with parts he had on hand. A broken Bluetooth headset was used for the switch, battery, and USB charging capabilities. From there he built an articulated arm and body out of LEGO. The final step to provide illumination was just a matter of wiring up a white LED. This isn’t the most beautiful LED lamp build, but it gets the job done and adds a little “I built this” pride to your desk.

Mute button connected via the network

[Justin] needed a mute button for some speakers at the other end of the room. The music was played by a Mac mini so he built a mute button that sends commands over a network. By using an Ethernet shield for an Arduino he’s able to detect a button press and send commands over an XML-RPC server to get some peace and quite around here. The device gets its electricity by using power over Ethernet. The Ethernet shield is one of our favorite add-ons, taking on the brunt of the work in getting connected.

Don’t be afraid to send in hacks of all difficulty levels. If you’ve got one that’s a bit simpler, we may feature it as part of a group.

I wasn’t entirely honest in the last post when I said it was a “nice, relaxing night.” When my parents were over, we had a great dinner and a nice time. A few hours before they showed up, our television broke. The 50-inch DLP “popped” and started making a grinding noise. After some quick surgery, I deduced the color wheel finally went. (I had been meaning to get a new one for awhile.) Tonight, we decided to see if we could get to the color wheel to confirm its destruction so we could buy a new one and replace it. We couldn’t get to it. Of course it couldn’t be like replacing the lamp. I’ve done that before, and it was easy.
