Using an Apache proxy RewriteRule

jrobertson (James Robertson) — Tue, 27 May 2008 20:54:43 GMT

This Apache Rewrite instruction uses the url http://mywebsite.com/cards as a proxy to access another web server within the LAN.

Configuring Asterisk as a Jabber client

jrobertson (James Robertson) — Sun, 18 May 2008 21:37:06 GMT

Here's my working instructions to connect my Asterisk box as a client to my Jabber server. When a call comes in on extension 10 a message is sent to me.

file: jabber.conf

Very basic lighttpd configuration

mikewilsonuk (Mike Wilson) — Tue, 17 Oct 2006 18:44:34 GMT

The configuration of lighttpd is vast and complex. Here is a close to minimal configuration which allows for Perl and Ruby CGI.



server.document-root = "/opt/lighttpd/htdocs"



server.port = 3000



mimetype.assign = (

  ".html" => "text/html",

  ".txt" => "text/plain",

  ".jpg" => "image/jpeg",

  ".png" => "image/png"

)



static-file.exclude-extensions = ( ".rb", ".pl", ".fcgi", ".php", ".rb", "~", ".inc" )

index-file.names = ( "index.html" )

server.modules += ( "mod_cgi" )



cgi.assign = (  ".rb" => "/opt/ruby/bin/ruby",

                ".pl" => "/usr/bin/perl")

bash aliases

mikewilsonuk (Mike Wilson) — Sat, 06 May 2006 02:31:38 GMT

For old duffers like me who were used to earlier shells when bash came along.



# These save typing, I use them a lot



alias sd='cd -' > /dev/null

alias cx='chmod +x'

alias which="type -path"



# This goes back to Unix v7, some time around 1985 I think.



alias lf='ls -CF'



# From my 'C' shell days. Those were almost 20 years ago as well. Sigh.



alias h='fc -l -20'

alias r='fc -s'



# Because real men use 'vi' and why use character mode if you have X?



alias vi='gvim'

.inputrc to make bash command-line editing like ksh

mikewilsonuk (Mike Wilson) — Sat, 06 May 2006 02:26:24 GMT

I was used to ksh and vi when bash came along, so I wanted the behaviour to remain the same. Some may think this odd.



set editing-mode vi

set keymap vi

vim configuration - graphics mode

mikewilsonuk (Mike Wilson) — Sat, 06 May 2006 02:13:27 GMT

This is my .gvim rc, the configuration file for gvim, vim's graphics mode. vim is "vi improved", a vi clone and so much more.
