Link: http://www.hackexeter.com/ My son heard about this somewhere, probably from the computer club at school. It looks pretty neat, but a pretty long day if you include driving at both ends (I'm in Milford). Wondering if anyone knows anything else about it. ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
Re: PHP/Wordpress URL change broken
We weighed the effort an uncertainty of fixing what we had with the effort and certainty of starting over. Then we tried a few tools for migrating a Wordpress site's domain/host name and the plug-in that is supposed to dynamically rewrite the domain name for multi-hosted sites. When none of them worked, we started over. My wife stayed up way too late last night, but she got most of it put back together (we hadn't invested much in content yet). Some of remaining remnants of the test domain were in static pages of our own. Those could have been fixed. However, a couple of css files kept getting generated with links to the old domain. I suspect that some of you with more experience would have known just where to look, but for us, a reboot seemed like the most sure way of making things right. I appreciate the help from this list. It didn't end up pointing to a technical solution that we used, but did help us decide how to deal with it. Thanks!

We will do an other backup so as to not dig deeper. Then we will evaluate trying to fix vs. just rebuilding from scratch. From scratch might be viable since most of the work into the site thus far was exploring/learning/trying and should be repeatable with less effort than the first pass. Thanks!

WTF! What is wrong with leaving the host name out to access the files from the current host? Like many things in WordPress, there is a plugin for that: http://wordpress.org/plugins/any-hostname/ How screwed are we? Depends on whether the plugin uses the domain/FQDN length, etc. Well, if you have a clean backup from before the period that you started searching-and-replacing, there's a number of plugins that can do the job properly for you. If you don't have a backup, well. Make one now. Seconded, emphatically. There are two NH groups that specialize in WordPress, one in Manchester (that meets tonight) and one on the seacoast. You might want to join their Meetups and get some expert help there. I've never been to these, but I do have extensive experience with WP. Feel free to ping me offlist if you need.

Boston Linux Meeting reminder, tomorrow, Wednesday, April 16, 2014 - Getting Started with IPv6
When: April 16, 2014 7PM (6:30PM for QA) Topic: Getting Started with IPv6 Moderator:Walter Horowitz Location: MIT Building E-51, Room 315 NOTE: The location has changed since last month! ### Please note that Wadsworth St. is still closed. ### Proceed West on Memorial Drive to Ames St. Ames will be ### 2-way during construction. Take a right onto Ames and another right ### onto Amherst. Summary An overview of transitioning to IPv6 Abstract Walter looks at why we need IPV6, and some of the requirements to use IPV6. He discusses some of the differences between IPV4 and IPV6 and some specific differences in how addresses are specified. he also discusses how to plan for transition to IPV6. For further information and directions please consult the BLU Web site http://www.blu.org Please note that there is usually plenty of free parking in the E-51 parking lot at 2 Amherst St, or directly on Amherst St. After the meeting we will adjourn to the official after meeting meeting location at The Cambridge Brewing Company http://www.cambridgebrewingcompany.com/ -- Jerry Feldman g...@blu.org Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id:3BC1EB90 PGP Key fingerprint: 49E2 C52A FC5A A31F 8D66 C0AF 7CEA 30FC 3BC1 EB90 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
Re: Sniffing gigabit ethernet? 1000baseT LAN taps?
For gigabit, there's no such thing as a hub. You need a managed switch so you can create a mirror port. Netgear makes an 8 port one that's ~ $100. I think they have a 5 port version too. It can also do vlan, 802.3ad (bond/trunk 2 ports together for faster throughput) Splice the switch into your server mirror to your sniffer port. Run wireshark, tcpdump, snoop (Solaris?) on that port. Filtering will probably be needed so you can keep up. If you don't have a switch, you might be able to take a PC with 2 network ports and muck with iptables to make it into a switch. You'll spend more in labor then on the switch. On Mon, Apr 14, 2014 at 7:21 PM, Richard Kolb II richard.k...@gmail.comwrote: whatever happened to just plain old snoop?

Re: Sniffing gigabit ethernet? 1000baseT LAN taps?
There's no need to muck with iptables to make two ports into a switch. This is done using a bridge interface. Network Manager will even let you create a bridge (including running spanning tree) for any ports on the system. Might not have the lowest latency of a dedicated hardware switch, but if traffic is only over a LAN shouldn't be noticeable. Just add wireshark. I do have a Cisco SG300 managed switch on my home network. Offers both command line, and web GUI for management. Similar enough to Cisco IOS that anyone who's used that should be comfortable. Good specs on a lower cost switch and most of the features of the Cisco Catalyst enterprise switches.
