Mass Deleting Posts By Date On WordPress

Today I duplicated a site I have running in a certain niche. I needed to delete all the old posts from certain years, and couldn’t find a plugin to do this easily. So. I went into trusty old PHPMyAdmin and did it manually. Here’s what you need to do. Login to phpmyadmin Find your wordpress database. Go to the wp_posts table in the database.

Problems Migrating Prosper202 Between Two Linux Hosts?

Today I was faced with migrating my P202 installation from one host to another. As normal, I ran the mysqldump command on the old server to dump the database and scp’d it over to my new host – went to import and I got a bunch of errors like this; ERROR 1016 (HY000): Can't open file: './202_SITENAME/202_locations_block.frm' (errno: 24) ERROR 1016 (HY000): Can't open file: './202_SITENAME/202_locations_block.frm' (errno: 24) ERROR 23 (HY000): Out of resources when opening file '....

Nerd Alert! Share Mouse & Keyboard between Several PC’s with no KVM.

For The Leet Folk. How to Set Up PHPBay with LigHTTPD Rewrites Instead Of Apache.

Tonight I was setting up PHPBay and noticed they don’t seem to have any instructions on their site, or in their documentation or anyone in forums (and, only 3 pages of google results for this.. so I guess nobody else runs LigHTTPD with PHPBay). So, if you happen to be like me, and prefer speed and simplicity to large bloated http servers this may help you out. I’m not a super ninja with rewrite rules, so I had my buddy Eli Sand from nerdscene give me a hand on these....

Fix DD-WRT Lighttpd error "(server.c.1105) fdevent_init failed" on Asus WL-500

Tonight I was messing with my Asus WL-500 and was having trouble getting lighttpd to start. I found some post in russian that I was able to decypher thanks to my excellent linguist skills (haha). Anyway, it’s pretty easy. # ipkg install nano # nano /opt/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf and then change # server.event-handler = «freebsd-kqueue» # needed on OS X to server.event-handler = «poll» # needed on OS X After changing this, lighttpd started right up with fastcgi php....
