Yesterday we already learn how to install PHP and mySQL on CentOS 5, now we will learn about how to install phpMyAdmin on CentOS 5, for your information who don’t know what is phpMyAdmin, let me explain in short text, phpMyAdmin is a script written in PHP language, the function of phpMyAdmin is to handle the administration of MySQL via website. phpMyAdmin supports lot of operations with MySQL like managing databases, tables, fields, relations, indexes, users, permissions, etc and not only that, phpMyAdmin also have the ability to directly execute any SQL statement.

Ok dont wasting time anymore, lets try it..

First you must know what type is your CentOS, is it x86 (i386) or x64 (x86_64), and to find out just type

uname -i

After you find out what version is your CentOS, now its time to download the repo

for x86 (i386)

wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

for x64 (x86_64)

wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm

Starting install phpMyAdmin

yum -y install phpmyadmin

edit file phpmyadmin.conf

vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf

Comment (add # mark on the front of text) the other settings and leave only the following:

Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin
Alias /phpMyAdmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin
Alias /mysqladmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin

Save (on keyboard press key “Esc” and then type “:wq”)

edit file config.inc.php

vi /usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

Find the following line

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';

And replace ‘cookie‘ with ‘http‘

Restart Apache

service httpd restart

DONE !!
To login just type http://yoursite.com/phpmyadmin and login with ur root and mysql password

Enjoy

Ok the first thing you need to know, when you install CentOS from your server (I am using VPS) the apache also installed automatically, so you no need to install apache again, but just in case your server not automatically install apache, just install it using yum

yum install httpd

Oh in case you get trouble with fastmirror on yum read my post about yum problem.

Ok next installing php, use this command

yum install php php-soap php-xmlrpc php-imap php-mcrypt php-mhash php-mbstring php-mysql php-xml php-gd

It will install PHP and some addons that maybe you will need it in the future when u installing some php script or something else.

When it asks for yes or no just press “Y” and Enter.

Done for PHP, now move to mySQL, use this command

yum install mysql mysql-server mysql-devel

And again if it asks for yes or no just press “Y” and Enter.

DONE !! and for activate it you just need to install apache using this command

service httpd restart

Simple right?! now try it on your server and good luck !!

note: this is optional tuts that maybe u interest

1. To make mySQL autorun on startup type this

chkconfig --levels 235 mysqld on

After done restart mySQL with command

service mysqld restart

2. To make Apache autorun on startup type this

chkconfig --levels 235 httpd on

After done restart Apache with command

service httpd restart

3. Creating ROOT password on mySQL

mysqladmin -u root password yourpassword
mysqladmin -h yourhostname -u root password yourpassword

Now all we have to do is your image list for the rotator (min 2 picture, max upto you), rename it with number (exp: 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg etc) and put inside image folder under your themes folder, for example (http://www.site.com/wp-content/themes/themes-name/images/) and for the code, try to open header.php and find the header code (this maybe different on each themes)

<div id="header"></div>

And replace/change to be like this

<div id="header" style="background-image: url(<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/<?php echo(rand(1,n)); ?>.jpg);background-repeat: no-repeat;background-position: center top;"></div>

Like u see the code almost same like the older post, and for explanation you can read again in this post. (sorry on meeting right now can’t write to much )

Save and refresh ur site few time and see what happen.

Well we can use javascript to manipulate it, but remember no all visitor browser activate their javascript, but don’t worry I have solution for it, we can use random function on php and create the most simple random images rotator.

Ok lets try, first we need the ingredient LOL, I mean we need prepare all thing

1. image collection, and rename it to 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, 4.jpg, and remember all extension must same (all jpg, or all gif, or all png)
2. folder, create folder for example imgrotator folder
3. the code (I will show later)

Ok now put all images on imgrotator folder that you already create, and on the page you want to put the rotator images, paste this this code

<img src="/path/to/<?php echo rand(1,n);?>.jpg" alt="Random Image" />

See this part /path/to/ change to the path of image rotator folder, in this case folder imgrotator and for the rand(1,n); you just put total of image, in this case I put 4 image, so we change the “n” to 4 and became like this rand(1,4); and now your image rotator ready to upload… the finish code for this case is like this

<img src="/imgrotator/<?php echo rand(1,4);?>.jpg" alt="Random Image" />

Now try yours good luck..

nb: Ill try to give another way to use this as background rotator for your site header on next post, just wait

Just watch few minutes ago, hmm bit forget the title of this episode, but one thing I like from this episode is the song its called Loser Like Me, well actually I like almost all song that perform by glee club, but this song is very ME lol, yeah I mean being loser is fine as long you can fix it and make as a lesson to be better person, ahhh this text is to long, just enjoy this clip from youtube, GLEE – Loser Like Me

Oh just in case, someone want to sing together, here the lyrics

Loser Like Me - gLee
-
Yeah, you may think that I'm a zero
But, hey, everyone you wanna be
Probably started off like me
You may say that I'm a freakshow (I don't care)
But, hey, give me just a little time
I bet you're gonna change your mind

All of the dirt you've been throwin' my way
It ain't so hard to take, that's right
'Cause I know one day you'll be screamin' my name
And I'll just look away, that's right

(Chorus)
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the words you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, I'm tunin' up to fade you out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me

(Cory Monteith/Finn)

Push me up against the locker
And hey, all I do is shake it off
I'll get you back when I'm your boss
I'm not thinkin' 'bout you haters
'Cause hey, I could be a superstar
I'll see you when you wash my car

All of the dirt you've been throwin' my way
It ain't so hard to take, that's right
'Cause I know one day you'll be screamin' my name
And I'll just look away, that's right

(Chorus)
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the words you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, I'm tunin' up to fade you out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me
A loser like me

Hey, you, over there
Keep the L up-up in the air
Hey, you, over there
Keep the L up, 'cause I don't care
You can throw your sticks, and you can throw your stones
Like a rocket, just watch me go
Yeah, l-o-s-e-r
I can only be who I are

(Chorus)
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the words you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, I'm tunin' up to fade you out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me

(Chorus)
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the words you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, I'm tunin' up to fade you out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me (A loser like me)
A loser like me (A loser like me)
A loser like me 

enjoy ^^

But how we can avoid that? we want the web look perfect but we also dont want people look the ugly face of the website when the process happen, well the answer is MAINTENANCE MODE. Yup you must make your website into a maintenance mode, so when visitor came to your site they not see the ugly face of the web but the announcement from you. Now how to make that “maintenance mode” thing?

For static site you can use .htaccess to help you, just put this code to your .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^111\.111\.111\.111
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/maintenance\.php$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://site.com/maintenance.php [R=307,L]

Change site.com with your site name, and create file called maintenance.php put in your root folder with some announcement on it and now every people who visit your site will redirect to maintenance.php. BUT !! how about you? you as a web designer of the web also will redirect when you want to edit the web. that why we add this line

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^111\.111\.111\.111

Change the 111\.111\.111\.111 to your own IP address (you can check your ip at seeyourip.com) and now you should be able to browse your site and perform your upgrade meanwhile other visitor will redirect to maintenance page.

Enjoy ^^

ps: for WordPress user you can use maintenance mode plugin that you can search on codex.wordpress.org

As long you can optimize image on your website, I am sure there is lot of visitor who will came to your site from the image, Now the question is how we can optimizing the images on your website, here some suggestion from me to you.

• Use targeted keyword for the file name
• Use underscore rather than space for the file name
• Avoid naming the file too long
• Use keyword as a sentence at ALT image
• Always use different text on each ALT when you have more than one image on the post

Try to implement this tips to your site, good luck ^^

What’s wrong with my VPS??! Since I am not to good on *nix family, just try to browsing via Google, and I found thread in some forum that also discuss this problem, and some of member give solution for the problem, and here is the solution (that work for me)

Login to you VPS using root access and type this

vi /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf

And change this line

enable=1

to

enable=0

Now try to using YUM command again..

Hope your problem can solved

WHY? because

1. Not good for SEO
2. Spam comment sometimes talk different topic with the post
3. Spam comment contain lot of link google can detect it as link farm, or even can banned you because linked scam/adult/pharmacy link
4. Spam comment very annoying because for example if your blog is for all age, and the spam comment contain adult link.. well you know what happen next
5. etc..

See… because that kind of reason i hate spam comment, but wait, maybe this piece of code can help you (bit..) to handle the spam comment

function in_comment_post_like($string, $array) {
	foreach($array as $ref) { if(strstr($string, $ref)) { return true; } }
	return false;
}
function drop_bad_comments() {
	if (!empty($_POST['comment'])) {
		$post_comment_content = $_POST['comment'];
		$lower_case_comment = strtolower($_POST['comment']);
		$bad_comment_content = array(
			'viagra',
			'hydrocodone',
			'hair loss',
			'[url=http',
			'[link=http',
			'xanax',
			'tramadol',
			'russian girls',
			'russian brides',
			'lorazepam',
			'adderall',
			'dexadrine',
			'no prescription',
			'oxycontin',
			'without a prescription',
			'sex pics',
			'family incest',
			'online casinos',
			'online dating',
			'cialis',
			'best forex',
			'amoxicillin'
		);
		if (in_comment_post_like($lower_case_comment, $bad_comment_content)) {
			$comment_box_text = wordwrap(trim($post_comment_content), 80, "\n  ", true);
			$txtdrop = fopen('/var/log/httpd/wp_post-logger/nullamatix.com-text-area_dropped.txt', 'a');
			fwrite($txtdrop, "  --------------\n  [COMMENT] = " . $post_comment_content . "\n  --------------\n");
			fwrite($txtdrop, "  [SOURCE_IP] = " . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . " @ " . date("F j, Y, g:i a") . "\n");
			fwrite($txtdrop, "  [USERAGENT] = " . $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] . "\n");
			fwrite($txtdrop, "  [REFERER  ] = " . $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] . "\n");
			fwrite($txtdrop, "  [FILE_NAME] = " . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] . " - [REQ_URI] = " . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] . "\n");
			fwrite($txtdrop, '--------------**********------------------'."\n");
			header("HTTP/1.1 406 Not Acceptable");
			header("Status: 406 Not Acceptable");
			header("Connection: Close");
			wp_die( __('bang bang.') );
		}
	}
}
add_action('init', 'drop_bad_comments');

Paste that code to your functions.php and when some people try to comment with some word who listed on the bad keyword, the comment will automatically reject. I know this maybe not help much, but at least your blog little bit more clean than before xoxo, want to test, try to comment in this post using word online dating and see what happen

Oh btw this code is credit to Guy

Ok enjoy folks..
