if your svn is obstructed

May 28th, 2009 @biophonc

try to run a cleanup and remove all obstructed files from your local copy. Or better said: copy them to a save place! Now remove all .svn dirs from your copy and run an update on your local project and copy back the »obstructed« dirs/files. Hit refresh and commit it. That should fix the “obstructed” files.

The reason might be, you’ve copied from another repos some files - including - some .svn dirs.


Permission denied in Unknown on line 0

May 13th, 2009 @biophonc

if you install apache/php and get the following error:
Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0
Then consider to check the permissions.

What user/group has the apache?
ps -ef | grep apache

Who owns the files in your htdocs?

Because it is most likely that you need to chown your htdocs, and or add a user to the correct group.


no fun with server

May 1st, 2009 @biophonc

At work we’ve ordered a new server and I’ve installed and configured apache, mysql, php5 and lighty + some tools, when spontaneously ‘less’ died and also ‘vim’ broke. Then mysql didn’t start, because ‘There’s not enough space in /var/lib/mysql/’ and the eth0 changes I made broke aswell. reinstalling mysql didn’t solve it - actually the installation broke. Dependencies errors and the same ol ‘not enough space’ stuff. ‘Dmesg’ is reporting ‘Invalid field in CDB’ a few times and that eth0: link is not ready…

This is a fresh server with 500gig and only 1% is in use - so there is space and I guess there is something else wrong. fsck ‘mention’ that the superblock is corrupted. Well ok - I know it is not so wise to run fsck on a running mashine - it would be more wise from lilo or a live cd - but it is a ‘managed OS’ so the hoster do not provide such thing. If the worse get worse, I can call them and let em reinstall everything but all my configurations would be lost - or at least I had to copy my configs to the new one.

Right now I am in fsck’s interactive mode and pushing the confirm button repeatedly and /lost+found is getting affiled.

And then some message:
/dev/sda1: 37458/30277632 Dateien (1.3% nicht zusammenhängend), 2216874/121093945 Blöcke
and the console stands still. no Ctrl+C, no ‘enter’, no nothing works…

*duck*

and then

it wasn’t me!

Dresden day one and a half

April 10th, 2009 @biophonc

We woke up at 7am and I was tiered as fuck, because it was after 1am
when we finaly went to bed. I kinda hate it when I go on a trip - the
preperation sucks but luckily we’ve managed everything in time, at
least we didn’t miss the train. What can I say - the weather is and
was fine - the sun is shining and I try to be relaxed.

Of course we went to the ‘Semper opera’, the ‘Zwinger’, the
‘Frauenkirche’, took some tourist-like photos and spent the evening at
‘Neustadt’.

Right now we wait for the ship to ‘Rathen’ to see the ‘Elb-Sandstein
Mountains’ and I am starving and hope there something to eat on board.
A sausage with mustard + a bun would be great!

tech-stuff-bla-bla-and-then-some

March 24th, 2009 @biophonc

I’ve installed today a new svn, trac and a websvn at work on a ubuntu machine with plesk on it. Actually it’s really easy but there seems to be no instant-setup guide, so I had to google quite extensive. Well I haven’t configuered it fully yet, but the svn seems to work fine, even though I’d like to make use of the pre-commit-hook (having the users commenting the commits, with at least 3 words); but that’s something I’ll change later. Currently we use mantis as bugtracker but I see some requirements for more. Trac seems to be a good alternative. Personally I’d like to use JIRA and Confluence - but I am to lazy to convince my boss to buy it and of course - 2400 Bucks *is* < insert the f-word here > money.

However - my work-life balance *seems* to be *unbalanced* and the affected personal relationships seems to truely suck atm; But therefor my boss said he’s satisfied with my work - and I have only 7 days left until the employment probation period is over and I am fully employed. - I guess that would be a classic scenario of a double-edged sword.

gruene.de finally online

March 20th, 2009 @biophonc

Three weeks of hard work are over and we’re done. http://gruene.de is online since 9am today and the feedback seems overall to be positive though of what I’ve heard and read:

http://search.twitter.com/search?q=gruene.de
http://meedia.de/nc/details/article/wahljahr-09–grne-setzen-web-mastbe_100018828.html

I guess we’ll polish some things in within the next few weeks but in general I like it. However - I’ve slept only 4 hours tonight, after 18 hours of final spurt and still have another time critical task on my list …

coffee!
