In Teamviewer 11 a feature to manage a headless server has been introduced. The trouble is that Teamviewer’s FAQ leaves out a crucial piece of information on how to get this going. The following instructions are for Ubuntu Server 15.10 running on Virtualbox 5.0.14, using Teamview 11.0.53254 1. Install Ubuntu Server 64bit as per normal. 2. Log in with the account you created during the install. 3. sudo to root $sudo -i 4. Activate the root account with passwd #passwd…

This post is just an example using Post List widget with image in the post body. Post List widget should find first image in the post body and display it in the post list when this option selected in the widget admin.

X2go is a great way of remotely connecting to a headless Ubuntu server (assuming you’re the type of person that wants to manage Ubuntu graphically). In my case my headless Ubuntu is just a hobbyist’s server and I think it’s cheaper to have one hosted for me, than to pay for the electricity and with the added fire risk of hosting a physical server myself. (Except for disk space considerations).I’ve been using DigitalOcean droplets and I think their control panel…

In the post, http://wiki.nginx.org/PHPFcgiExample, the author gives an URL example for testing various parameters, especially PATH_INFO and $fastcgi_path_info. This URL is, http://lemp.test/test.php/foo/bar.php?v=1 (this URL is not a hyperlink and does not work, of course) I was interested to find what Location clause would be necessary to test this on my own server. In my case, I wanted to test in a separate sub-directory, so the test string becomes:- http://mydomain.co.uk/mytest/test.php/foo/bar.php?v=1 (this URL does not work either. It’s intended you construct a…

Since my Ubuntu DigitalOcean droplet is for non-serious use I find it useful to have X running so I can use graphical tools to manage it, and I’ve installed LXDE. It works really well. With X2GoServer installed and X2GoClient on my Windows 8.1 laptop, server maintenance is very convenient. Unfortunately, once I installed LXDE, the Console window available via the DigitalOcean web control panel also showed the X server and the lightdm login prompt. This couldn’t be used successful. There…

Almost a year without any new posts. How time flies. In the summer last year as my yearly contract with my hosting provider was due for renewal, I noticed that the price for a Virtual Windows Server 2012 had come down considerably. After a month’s trial with Netcetera which went well I decided on AspNetHosting.co.uk. I chose them because they allow me to take up to 5 snapshots of the virtual image, and restore myself on demand. One hosting provider…

Page One Example  

Caliburn.Micro has a very useful demo called HelloScreens. The original is available in the samples directory of the sources on CodePlex. Currently it’s a SilverLight 4 xap. Over the years a number of people have made their own versions – there is a Silverlight Decoupled version and two WPF versions. Attached here is a decoupled WPF version. Nothing spectacular, it has separate DLLs for Orders and Customers loaded by MEF and it’s working with Caliburn.Micro 1.4.1 and .Net 4.5. I’ve…
