What is firebird

Firebird is an open source relational database offering many ANSI SQL-99 features that runs on Linux, Windows, and a variety of Unix platforms. Firebird offers excellent concurrency, high performance, powerful language support for stored procedures and triggers. It has been used in many production systems within a large number of commercial companies since 1981.

Steps to compile compile firebird module with php

1)Download the firebird module  to server

Cd /usr/src

wget http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/firebird/Firebird-2.0.3.12981-1.tar.bz2

2)Manually build and install the firebird module

tar -jxf Firebird-2.0.3.12981-1.tar.bz2

cd Firebird-2.0.3.12981-1

mv Firebird-2.0.3.12981-1 firebird

cd firebird

./autogen.sh; make;make install

3)Rebuild PHP along with the firebird

‘–with-interbase=/usr/src/firebird’ option.

When installing is finished, open the php.ini configuration file (located in /usr/local/lib/), and check if these lines exist (uncomment/modify them if necessary):

magic_quotes_sybase = On	; Use Sybase-style magic quotes (escape ' with '' instead of ')
extension=php_interbase.so

magic_quotes_sybase = On	; Use Sybase-style magic quotes (escape ' with '' instead of ')
extension=php_interbase.so

 4) check php module using php -m command

I was facing same error with one of my shared server last couple of week, apache was broke on server and getting following error in apache error logs file.

[emerg] (28)No space left on device: Couldn't create accept lock

[notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin/suexec)

[notice] Digest: generating secret for digest authentication ...

[notice] Digest: done

[warn] pid file /etc/httpd/run/httpd.pid overwritten -- Unclean shutdown of previous Apache run?

[emerg] (28)No space left on device: Couldn't create accept lock

I checked disk space, or quota limit but everything was fine. I through it seem to apache semaphore problem

Apache can create the “accept lock” is with a semaphore. A semaphore is an inter-process communication tool that is used by Apache to communicate with it’s child processes. This error message may mean that Apache couldn’t create a new semaphore.

Check to see how many semaphores are currently in use. If Apache is running correctly, you should see something like this:

# ipcs -s

If Apache is stopped, and you still see these semaphores, then you can safely kill them by running this command for each semaphore id (in the second column)

$ ipcrm -s <semid> 

To destroy all semaphores, you can run this from the command line (with “apache” being the apache-user:

for semid in `ipcs -s | grep apachec | cut -f2 -d" "`; do ipcrm -s $semid; done

OR

ipcs -s | grep apache | perl -e ‘while (<STDIN>) { @a=split(/\s+/); print `ipcrm sem $a[1]`}’

OR

ipcs -s | grep nobody | perl -e ‘while () { @a=split(/\s+/); print `ipcrm sem $a[1]`}’
ipcs -m | grep nobody | perl -e ‘while () { @a=split(/\s+/); print `ipcrm -m $a[1]`}’

OR

for i in `ipcs -s | awk ‘/httpd/ {print $2}’`; do (ipcrm -s $i); done

How to increase semaphore limit

To view the current parameters:

ipcs -l

To change these parameters, modify the file /etc/sysctl.conf and add the following lines:

kernel.msgmni = 1024

kernel.sem = 250 256000 32 1024

Then load these settings with the command:

sysctl -p

Hello,

PDO_MYSQL is a driver that implements the PHP Data Objects (PDO) interface to enable access from PHP to MySQL 3.x and 4.x databases.

PDO_MYSQL will take advantage of native prepared statement support present in MySQL 4.1 and higher. If you’re using an older version of the mysql client libraries, PDO will emulate them for you.

Steps to compile compile pdo_mysql module with php

1) Download the PDO package to server

          # wget http://pecl.php.net/get/PDO

2) Manually build and install the PDO extension:

	  # tar xzf PDO-0.2.tgz

	  # cd PDO-0.2

	  # phpize

	  # ./configure

          # make

          # make install

          # echo extension=pdo.so >> /usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini

3) rebuild PHP along with the drivers for PDO_mysql.

CUSTOM_PHP_FLAGS=”–with-pdo-mysql” /scripts/easyapache

4) check php module using php –m command

301 redirect is the most efficient and Search Engine Friendly method for webpage redirection. It’s not that hard to implement and it should preserve your search engine rankings for that particular page. If you have to change file names or move pages around, it’s the safest option. The code “301″ is interpreted as “moved permanently”.

IIS Redirect

• In internet services manager, right click on the file or folder you wish to redirect
• Select the radio titled “a redirection to a URL”.
• Enter the redirection page
• Check “The exact url entered above” and the “A permanent redirection for this resource”
• Click on ‘Apply’

ColdFusion Redirect

<.cfheader statuscode=”301″ statustext=”Moved permanently”>
<.cfheader name=”Location” value=”http://www.new-url.com”>

PHP Redirect

<?
Header( “HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently” );
Header( “Location: http://www.new-url.com” );
?>

ASP Redirect

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Response.Status=”301 Moved Permanently”;
Response.AddHeader(”Location”,”http://www.new-url.com/”);
%>

ASP .NET Redirect

<script runat=”server”>
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Response.Status = “301 Moved Permanently”;
Response.AddHeader(”Location”,”http://www.new-url.com”);
}
</script>

JSP (Java) Redirect

<%
response.setStatus(301);
response.setHeader( “Location”, “http://www.new-url.com/” );
response.setHeader( “Connection”, “close” );
%>

CGI PERL Redirect

$q = new CGI;
print $q->redirect(”http://www.new-url.com/”);

Ruby on Rails Redirect

def old_action
headers["Status"] = “301 Moved Permanently”
redirect_to “http://www.new-url.com/”
end

Redirect Old domain to New domain

Create a .htaccess file with the below code, it will ensure that all your directories and pages of your old domain will get correctly redirected to your new domain.
The .htaccess file needs to be placed in the root directory of your old website (i.e the same directory where your index file is placed)

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Please REPLACE www.newdomain.com in the above code with your actual domain name.

In addition to the redirect I would suggest that you contact every backlinking site to modify their backlink to point to your new website.

Redirect to www

Create a .htaccess file with the below code, it will ensure that all requests coming in to domain.com will get redirected to www.domain.com
The .htaccess file needs to be placed in the root directory of your old website (i.e the same directory where your index file is placed)

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^domain.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

Please REPLACE domain.com and www.newdomain.com with your actual domain name.
