eTRAYz and mysql support

When i got my eTRAYz i was really looking forward to test out the webserver option to make it my main location for my webprojects. The downside was that there wasn’t any trace of a mysql server running, the good part is that it’s available but you need to activate it first :)

Install and configure mysql
  1. Get putty(portable)
  2. Login on your etrayz as root (not sysadmin! this is important) with your sysadmin password
  3. Install the MySQL Database: /usr/bin/mysql_install_db
  4. Start MySQL: /etc/init.d/mysqld restart
  5. Do a secure installation of mysql: /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation
    This will ask you for a password for root, external access settings, if you want to remove the test database and anonymous access
  6. Add mysql to your startupscript (so that it starts if you reboot): chkconfig –add mysqld
Fixing the missing php extention
  1. Get this package and upload it to your e-TRAYz Disk
  2. Go back to putty (log back in as root if you closed it) and type: cd /
  3. Extract the file: tar xvjf /home/sysadmin/LAMPfix.tar.bz2
  4. Restart apache webserver: /etc/init.d/apache restart

If all done correctly you should now be able to use mysql with your websites :D

Create a Windows 7 AIO DVD

With the recent release of Windows 7 it’s time to make another post about it. If you get yourself a copy you’ll notice that unlike the vista disk, you don’t get the option to select a version, although the DVD does contain all versions (32 or 64bit depending on the version you order)

Since i wanted to make a DVD that contains every possible version, 32 and 64bit, starter, home basic, home premium, professional, enterprise & ultimate to use at work i did some searching on the internet and found various posts concerning this.

After some fail and error i succeeded doing so and I have now an All In One DVD (or USB-stick in my case) with everything on it and the option to pick a version during install.

Since this post would become way to long explaining everything from making a bootable USB-stick to use it, enabling the option to select a version, importing languages and then importing the different versions into a single WIM-file. I’ll be creating a tutorial on a separate page witch I’ll update in the coming days.

Update: You can now find the guide on your right!

Enjoy!

MCDST, say again?

After having fun all weekend i got to start the week with a Microsoft course in Bruges, more in specific the  Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician training or in short MCDST :)
This will be the first 4 days out of 9 i think, 4 days of Windows Xp, 2 days Vista basic and 3 days Vista advanced, after the course we get a chance to do the exam and actually get the Certificate from Microsoft. We don’t need to do it but then again, why not do it ;)
