setting up a realtime sandbox env....

Anyone involved in any sort of development do know that the sandbox environment is one which they relish setting up. As a kid I remember my father always stressing that in a mathematical problem the answer will revert back to the question hence give importance to the testing may be that's the reason I always got first class (+60%) all thru out the academic career because I was invoved in testing the answer, resulting in not answering the whole questions.:)

wished for a ginnie

It wasn't much of an affort to convert a white box into black box running the much needed recipie of disaster. The whole day passed setting up the box and installing the much needed environment. Forgot to mention that the motherboard was pretty old but was a beauty when the needed resources where provided. There are times when I wished I could have a ginnie at my disposal to carry out the niche task.

The old mother board was needing 20pin connector while the ATX cabinet was having 24

Other day involved in changing the port of apache

It was a simple task of accesssing the webpage from different box in a lan env, but for some crappy reason the wa3002g4 router won't allow the traffic to pass.Igniting the grey matter and a bit of googling found that most of the port in the router is blocked and those allowed are 80 and some other predefined services like tftp, telnet. The port 80 is reserved by the router to access the webadmin page. So thought of changing the port of my webserver to 8080.

NB:- I was able to ping between two boxes. Hmmmm

sudo vi /etc/apache2/ports.conf

Ever wondered how to check the installation date of linux

just recently I wanted to know when I installed linux on my x86 and to my disappointment I couldn't find the exact answer but got an answer that could satisfy my curiosity.

My initial stint with linux was with Redhat 9 in those days they haven't ventured into Enterprise edition.

One answer is rpm -qi basesystem. kairo.wordpress.com

but I was sure that I installed linux much before the date specified by rpm -qi

another option is

dumpe2fs on the root fs partition.

eg:- dumpe2fs -h /dev/sda1
