Login with your mysql client and issue either one of these:

UPDATE `jos_users` SET `password` =MD5(“getsmart”) WHERE usertype = “Super Administrator”;
or
UPDATE `jos_users` SET `password` =MD5(“getsmart”) WHERE usertype = “Administrator”;

Site->Global Configuration-> Go to Search Engine Friendly URLs and select and Use Apache mod_rewrite. Select both to “YES”.

Then on your hosting server copy htaccess.txt to .htaccess. Now you should have urls like : http://site.com/contact

Got this error while I was trying to configure Joomla to work with suPHP. This is the config I`m using to make it work:

ServerAdmin aa@aa.com
ServerName www.site.org
ServerAlias site.org
DocumentRoot /home/virtuals/www.site.org/public_html/
ErrorLog /home/virtuals/www.site.org/logs/error.log
CustomLog /home/virtuals/www.site.org/logs/access.log combined
ServerSignature On
php_admin_flag safe_mode Off
php_admin_flag register_globals On
php_admin_value open_basedir /home/virtuals/www.site.org/public_html:/tmp

AllowOverride All
Allow from All
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks



php_admin_flag engine on
suPHP_Engine on
AddHandler php5-script .php
php_admin_flag engine on

Got this error :

Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:The MySQL adapter “mysql” is not available.

There are some reasons why this occurs:

- php-mysql not installed
- php admin flags wrong set
- wrong suphp configuration, handlers should be:

[handlers]
;Handler for php-scripts
x-httpd-php=”php:/usr/bin/php”

;Handler for CGI-scripts
x-suphp-cgi=”execute:!self”

Got this error these days :

[Thu Jul 30 06:58:16 2009] [warn] Script “/home/virtuals/www.site.org/public_html/index.php” resolving to “/home/virtuals/www.site.org/public_html/index.php” not within configured docroot

add docroot into your suphp.conf file and restart apache

du –max-depth=1 $PWD | sort -n -r
du -H –max-depth=1 $PWD

“-H” – produce human readable format sizes (like: 1K 10M 1G)

A good and short one liner using xargs

du -s ./* | sort -n| cut -f 2-|xargs -i du -sh {}

This will sort the folders according to size and display them in human readable format… to reverse the list
use sort -nr option.

In order to redirect your website to be opened through HTTPS, you should add the following rewrite rule in your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule .* https://www.domain.com/%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

This will redirect your domain to https://www.yourdomain.com. If you wish the redirect to work without www, you should remove it from the rewrite rule:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule .* https://domain.com/%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

export LINES=57; export COLUMNS=157; resize

eval $(tset -s xterm; resize; alias ll=”ls -Al”)

ps -e -ww -o user,pid,ppid,pcpu,pmem,size:7=Swap,lstart,args=Command –sort=-rss
