Object is to access windows xp from solaris and install virtual pcs.

First step – How to enable terminal services in windows xp pro ? as we know terminal services are only enables in windows server products. so as usual i did google and found hacks, out of them replacing DLL file and ‘terminalpatch’ from one russian site.But i din;t install them with fear of trojen or virus. So what i did …. see for my next post where you will get amazing free solution to access winodws xp terminal service.

enable ntfs read write in linux with out kernel compliation

Posted on March 2, 2008 | 1 comment

I am Centos and fedora. I need to access windows xp partition

From CentOS, basically i am sharing one partition with FAT-32. But i would like share ntfs partition between Linux and Windows xp. I don;t want to modify / re compile my centos kernel.

so how to share windows NTFS partition with Linux without re compiling kernel ?

So upon search i got solution that is ntfs-3g. From their website http://www.ntfs-3g.org

”
The NTFS-3G driver is an open source read/write NTFS driver for Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, NetBSD, and Haiku. It provides safe and fast handling of the Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 and Windows Vista file systems. POSIX file system operations are supported, and full file ownership and permission support is available as well.”

http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ntfs-3g-1.2216.tgz is latest ntfs-3g

No need to compile kernel you can mount ntfs fle system with mount command or using fstab

Another silly project with phpbb3 and linux

Posted on December 25, 2007 | Leave a comment

i want to convert my phpbb2 based forum to phpbb3. My forums is with 50 thousand user base. i was applied few MODS inlcuding famous attachment mode. It will allow your forum members to upload files to posts.

ok as per phpbb.com doc – following are the steps we need to perform.

1.install fresh phpbb3 in another location ( another folder other than where ever your old board installation there

2.start install process by calling http://newphpbb3folder/install/ it performs installation it will give you 2 options 1. convert any exisating board 2. go live with new install

3.need to select 1 option and it will ask your source board path and db details. great news is it never touch / modify you old forum files/database and it just copies requires files and tables.

4.conversion is cpu intensive way. some what it fails on shared hosting account where restrictions on php.

hostgator.com worked for and it allows me to use my own php.ini. Folowing you can see my php.ini which worked for conversion.

max_execution_time=60
memory_limit=16M

hostgator.com is compatible with phpbb3. After conversion phpbb3 is automatically converted my attchment mod to phpbb3. fantastic !!! now my phpbb site is up working fine.
