WP-o-Matic : Cron job done! but no campaigns processed
Posted by MaEl in: Bits-and-Bytes Comments (37)
After struggling to make cron job work properly, now it doesn’t process the campaigns. It processes the campaigns only if the campaign is new. For the 2nd time, it doesn’t worked. the campaigns status in dashboard still showing next! even if I manually access the secret WP-o-Matic cron url. Browsing the source code and I found out that there are several bugs in the wpomatic.php. The process stucked at getCampaigns function.

Clarkconnect DynDNS,EveryDNS updater
Posted by MaEl in: Bits-and-Bytes Comments (2)
Clarkconnect has its own dynamic IP service and automatically map system name.pointclark.net for you. It has its own daemon to update the IP address automatically. But for me, I don’t think the *.pointclark.net domain is useful for me. I’ve used the DynDNS dynamic IP services for several years and I don’t like to have to inform others about my new domain. Plus, I used EveryDNS dynamic dns nameserver for pixca.net and I need to update it if my ip change.

Server Moved: From Ubuntu to Clarkconnect
Posted by MaEl in: Bits-and-Bytes Comments (0)
At last.. I got timed to update my webserver.. It have been running Ubuntu Server 7.10 since January 2008. The best thing about Ubuntu is its community support and software support. Software and library are ready to used.. no need to compile. Inheriting debian apt-get make software installation a breeze. Great to linux-noob like me

Yahoo! Messenger and port 80 conflict
Posted by MaEl in: Bits-and-Bytes Comments (0)
Last week the pixca.net website is offline for several day. At first I’m suspecting the server for the cause. However, after several investigation, I found out that the server is working perfectly and I can access it directly from LAN. Then I thought that this must be the firewall problem. I used corega wlbargp router for my home network. It’ s a little bit outdated actually,but it has serve me fine for this recent years. I reconfigured the firewall to redirect port 80 to the blackpearl and it work momentarily.
