Rock Creek Webs Network

Another command frequently being used.

chmod -R 666 httpdocs

command + recursive switch + permission number + directory that you want the permissions for all files and sub-directories to be effected by the command.

This always happens and everytime it does I spend time looking for the fix. When MS Virtual Server get shut down due to powere outage etc. The virtual server loses it’s network card. When I try to add it back the only thing in the drop-down is “not connected”.

Here’s the trick.

Go to Virtual Network >> Add – this is where you can add the physical card back to the virtual server.

Go to MBDealer site > Product Database

For fields choose – MBNumber, Title, Best Seller, UPC, ISNB13, MediaType, Price, ByLine, DifOverall, PubDate, Description.

Get Data

Right click and save generated Txt file to hard drive.

Open in Excel – Text Import Wizard > Delimited> Tab>

Change the following columns to Text instead of General

• ProductID
• UPC
• ISBN13

**Important leave Description as General

Insert two columns after Product ID

In the first column enter *space BW.tif and then drag the value to the end of the column

In the next column use a Concatenate function to combine ProductID + BW.tif

If this doesn’t work as expected check that the format for the Concatenating column is General

Drag the value to the end of the column to create the image name

Save as a CSV format file

This ones hard to find. So here’s a handy reference.

Go to Menu Manager > Main Menu > Menu Items

Edit Home

Open up the Parameters (System) And make changes.

In Plesk:

Home>>Domains>>(select domain of master site)>> Domain Aliases – put in the name of the new joomla site

Log into the Joomla Master Site Admin >> Components >> Multi Sites >> Manage Sites >> New

Fill out Site Details  property sheet and Save

Goto Joomla install page via the alias created for the master Domain

Follow prompts until database page. Enter info for Master database. Important! click the Advanced button and change from the default prefix jom_ to another name.

To enable SOAP for PHP5

Login via SSH and run:

yum -y install php-soap

Then restart Apache:

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

To document my steps…

• Create domain in Plesk (be sure to uncheck  php safe_mode on)
• Create database for domain
• Use FTP to move Joomla directories into httpdocs folder of domain created
• Change permissions during the install process (@ directory above httpdocs folder chmod -R 777 httpdocs)
• Do the Joomla web install – (This time I enabled FTP layer)
• Deleted Installation directory

Do not change the name of the configuration.php before starting the install from the Joomla site because the install will view this as already being installed and will prompt for deleting of the install folder on the site.
