Files missing on the blog
I have just finished upgrading WordPress to version 2.9, and after that was done I deleted the backup directory with the older version of the blog, or I thought so at least. I instead managed to delete the entire newly configured WordPress, and about half of the backup (database not touched)...
I managed to save the theme and plugins used, which are back up on the site. However, the files I had put up for download, ie. the Zenphoto Sitemap plugin and the audio files on the Music page are now gone. I don't think that I have any backup of the files around, so I'll have to try to recreate them in some way. Until then, please bear with me and the lack of media and download files.
Installing djbdns in an OpenSolaris zone
This guide shows you how to install djbdns in an OpenSolaris zone. The zone is currently running OpenSolaris build 124, but the guide should work on other versions of OpenSolaris as well, though not tested.
The zone is simply set up as a default ipkg OpenSolaris zone, without many default installed packages.
Updating a OpenSolaris zone
This is just a quick guide for people who need to update an OpenSolaris zone. First off, you need to shutdown the zone. This can either by done by using init 5 or shutdown inside the zone, or by running any of the two commands with zlogin from the global zone. A last not recommended possibility is to run zoneadm -z <zonename> halt from the global zone.
After the zone is stopped, you will have to set the zone state to 'ready', in order for the file systems to be mounted:
zoneadm -z <zonename> ready
Then you can start the update procedure:
pkg -R <path to zone>/root image-update
And lastly, when the zone is upgraded you can boot up the zone again:
zoneadm -z <zonename> boot
Some thoughts about dependencies in packages
Last night I installed SqueezeCenter (the server software used with Squeezebox's) on my home server, since I want to use it together with SqueezeSlave running on my server. That way I can play music from my server while I have a webinterface to control it from all computers on my network.
Configuring the Solaris DHCP server
As I recently had to configure the Solaris bundled DHCP server on a box, I though that I would write down the steps I took to get the task done, for everybody else to use and also for myself later on.
I will configure the server with some static entries for specific hosts, and also with a small pool of addresses for random users.
