However, if you’re running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, you will receive an error when modifying the /etc/default/tomcat6 JAVA_OPTS.

The two options that cause this error are “-XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:ParallelGCThreads=2″, if you remove these then the errors go away. Looking into this further, I’ve found some documentation but not much. The commands are related to garbage collection, and the following article sheds some light on the above two commands as well as “-XX:+UseParNewGC”

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2101518/difference-between-xxuseparallelgc-and-xxuseparnewgc

Upon remove the two recommended options and adding ”-XX:+UseParNewGC” tomcat6 starts without error.

If anyone has any information on why this is, it would be great to know.

It’s a free opensource program for Windows 7 that puts a taskbar on your second monitor if you have dual monitor setup or on your second and third monitor if you have a triple monitor setup. I haven’t tried a quad monitor setup or beyond, please let me know if you have in the comments.

Here is a list of configuration options.

• General
  • Automatically start with Windows
  • Check for Updates
• Taskbar Appearance
  • Show lables
  • Show clock
  • Mirror mode
  • Use small icons
  • Show notification area
  • Show start button
  • Use custom font
  • Auto-hide the taskbar
• Taskbar location
  • Mutliple display support
  • Options for Bottom, Left, Right, Top

Below is a screenshot of the settings, and notepad on a second monitor. As you can see, it’s hard to tell the different from a normal Windows 7 taskbar.

If you have a program running on your second or third screen, it will show on the taskbar for that monitor, so it makes it easy to locate your programs windows.

There is similar software that you can purchase, however Dual Monitor Taskbar seems to get the job done and is free.

1. First insert the new user account into the database.

If you’re using command line MySQL then you will need to select the database first using the “use” command below:

Now that you’ve selected the database, you can run the following query to insert the new user account into the wp_users table of your WordPress Database. You will want to fill in your details below before executing the query. You enter this query under the “SQL” tab within phpMyAdmin.

If successfully you should see:

Note, the field ‘ID’ is blank because this field is set to auto-increment within the table, a number will automatically to the ‘ID’ field for the new user.

2. Find out what ID your new account received.

Now that you have the successfully inserted the new record into the wp_users table. You want to know the new ID for the new account. You can find this rather easily with phpMyAdmin, but if you’re using the mysql command line simply run the following.

Which should return:

The ID for the new account we created is 5.

3. Making the new WordPress Account an Administrator (wp_usermeta bits)

Even though we added a new user, it doesn’t have Administrator rights yet. We need to add a couple of entries to the wp_usermeta table. Taking the ID of the new user we create the following two queries.

These queries will tell provide Administrator rights to our new user account.

4. Enjoy the new account!

You’re done!

I was able to get RackTables working using the following work around posted on http://www.rosmir.org/Index/Docs/archive/LabsFolder/FastCGI which has nothing to do with RackTables.

1. You will need to add the following to your .htaccess file.

   1 2	RewriteEngine on RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]

2. Next you will need to modify the inc/auth.php file and add the following before the function authenticate.

   1 2 3

   if(preg_match('/Basic+(.*)$/i', $_SERVER['REDIRECT_HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'], $matches)) { list($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'], $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']) = explode(':' , base64_decode(substr($_SERVER['REDIRECT_HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'], 6))); }

3. It should look like following below when completed.

   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

   function authenticate () { if(preg_match('/Basic+(.*)$/i', $_SERVER['REDIRECT_HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'], $matches)) { list($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'], $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']) = explode(':' , base64_decode(substr($_SERVER['REDIRECT_HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'], 6))); } global $remote_username, $remote_displayname, $auto_tags, $user_given_tags, $user_auth_src, $script_mode, $require_local_account; if (!isset ($user_auth_src) or !isset ($require_local_account)) throw new RackTablesError ('secret.php: either user_auth_src or require_local_account are missing', RackTablesError::MISCONFIGURED); if (isset ($_REQUEST['logout']))

And to my surprise after installing the memory my Macbook Pro booted and actually posted to OSX 10.8.2, here is a screenshot of the “About This Mac” and “System Report” sections showing that 16GB of memory is installed.

Even thought I could boot into OSX, I still needed to confirm that everything was stable. There is a program called memtest by Command-Tab that will allow you to test the memory extensively. The best way to test is through Single User Mode to ensure that you test all memory and with minimal running in the background. If you run memtest via terminal when OSX is booted, then you will only be able to test available memory. I’ve provided a screenshot of memtest running from OSX via terminal, and you can see that it only detects 12GB of memory. This is because the rest has been used and can’t be tested.
