Its true, don’t waste your time with strange scripts and such if you’re trying to upload an .sql file that exceeds the limit. Just give up and use source. Note: don’t be confused that I don’t capitalise my MySQL commands. Its my silent protest against standard MySQL syntax: I think capitalising commands you [...]

Lee is the owner and sound engineer at the soon-to-be huge recording studio Mystery Machine Studio in Portland, OR. I built his website (http://www.mysterymachinestudio.com/).
A CD that Lee recorded for local folk/pop hero Nick Jaina was just released to critical acclaim, and we’re trying to drum up some exposure for Lee’s beautiful little [...]

All this comes from here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
In the teminal:
$ sudo tasksel install lamp-server
$ sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
$ sudo gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Add the following to the end of this file: “Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf”
Edit the /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini file and increase the memory_limit value. I used 64M, but that may be overkill.

When I’m building websites especially, I have to work with a lot of deeply nested files. But typing cd ~/public_html/websitename/wp-content/themes/themename/ in the terminal every time is giving me carpal tunnel, so I found a better way:
First open ~/.barshrc in a text editor and uncomment lines 73 through 75 so they look like this:

Before you do anything, back up your original config files. I used to just create a copy of the files with the suffix “.bak” (sudo cp example.conf example.conf.bak), which works, but creates a lot of clutter. Now I use a great little utility called etckeeper which automatically places all files in /etc under [...]

The following code, when included in the functions.php file in your Wordpress child theme, will correctly load Mootools and a custom script. This is the only way I am able make custom scripts work, but you hear a lot of stuff out there on the interweb…
<?php
function add_js() {
$stylesheet_dir = get_bloginfo(’stylesheet_directory’);

I thought I would be a Firefox user till I died, but holy crap Chrome is fast! I can launch Firefox, go make a sandwich, launch Chrome and be browsing before Firefox loads. This is particularly nice on our crappy Windows machines at work. JavaScript is noticeably faster. Chrome seems more stable and [...]

If you get this error when you try to upload an image to your WordPress blog, there are two things you can do:
Go to Settings > Miscellaneous in your Wordpress admin area and make sure that ‘Store uploads in this folder’ is set to the default: wp-content/uploads (notice there is no ‘/’ before wp-content/uploads). Try [...]

Using a public_html file in your home directory is much more convenient than /var/www for a local website development environment. The following commands create a file called public_html in your home directory and enable the UserDir module in Apache.
From the command line, enter:
$ mkdir ~/public_html
$ cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
$ sudo ln -s ../mods-available/userdir.conf userdir.conf
$ sudo ln [...]

In the terminal, type:
$ sudo apt-get install apache2
$ sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql
$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server
$ sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
Just agree when it asks you stuff.
