some useful sourceforge.net portal to wonderland

Anyone would kill to have a shell access and thats what sf.net is providing. Almost all the task have been accomplished using the shell service, associated services and a bit of UI called phpmyadmin. Just that there is a 4HRS time limit for the shell access window to close, for security purpose they say.

Importing repository in sf.net (classic & new project)

Diving straight into Gibraltar.

classic sourceforge svn repo = https://projectname.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/projectname/
new sf project = /home/svn/p/projectname/mountpoint/

Before using svnadmin dump be sure to create intial repo using svnadmin create or else it will display an error somewhat similar to
"svnadmin: Can't open file '<foldername>/format': No such file or directory"

There might be lot many other options available to do this but I felt like doing it this way

Getting accustomed to database table which makes use of the blog content.
Name the tables
node
term_node
vocabulary
term_data

Executing the queries at the mysql prompt (link to ncsu) to get the desired result, then executing the sql commands in phpmyadmin interface and exporting the result.

Drupal jujubi's

This should have been the first topic in this place which made use of drupal as the CMS. Now it is here because lately I am migrating from one web hosting to another[with screenshot of intodns ]; which almost made me do everthing other than keeping the blog content same, reason was to make use of only 32MB space for php memory limit(asked for 64MB php memory limit from the previous hoster). Hopefully I am reproducing everything as experienced or else drupal will display necessary hints on what to do next.

a) Installing drupal(localhost)

microSDHC card behaving unusual**

Happen to partition the mmc into 5 partitions 3p +2extended but later on with some tweaking in the fstab wasn't able to mount the swap partition, not only that the fdisk /dev/mmcblk0 was not showing any partition with p switch (the mmc was detected properly by the kernel used dmesg|grep mmc and also the /dev was populated by created partitions ) . so commented the mmcblk partition in fstab and restarted the device which enabled to see the partition in fdisk - no idea why it behaved that way. So again formatted mmc card into 4 primary partition. lets see what happens now.

Follow up - Fatal error: Allowed memory size.....

Follow up on the previous blog entry
Until yesterday I presumed without verifying that I have set the php memory limit to 128MB from within drupal in settings.php  in hosting environment as I have done it in my test environment but only when the fatal error msg was displayed I verified the mem limit which was not affected by the changes in the settings.php.
