I have been using mostly a windows platform for quite some time.. so I am about to re-embark on the Linux/Java/PHP/MySQL travels... Just wonder, given the administration for Windows...
I have a LAMP server with 256MB RAM (poor man's server in cloud). I have an app written to run on this machine. Currently people upload images and they go straight into mysql as BLOB. There are concerns that this might be very memory consuming operation and we move over it to simple plain files. Can some one tell me if these concerns a...
We are developing a web-client for a startup. We are thinking on different solutions. We need a guideline on how to handle back-end services. We are developing the web-client on LAMP stack. There are certain DB tasks that needs to be handled 24/7 at back-end. Would it be flexible enough to write those services in JAVA? We are really new ...
I am running a LAMP server but now need to connect to MS SQL (client request). I have heard Microsoft has a driver, but can't verify if Does anyone know if the Microsoft driver is available for Unix?

I am rewriting a client's application from a crappy built as one huge blob of a project into a MVC application for obvious reasons. In doing a view for pieces of it I am noticing the original programmer has plenty of statements where they change up images or put in different links based on the logged in user. How does everybody that wr...

I face many times this simple and repetitive task configuring the LAMP or some stuff in Ubuntu or Drupal: I have to edit a config file (php.ini, httpd.conf, ... whatever) so quite frequently, if I don't remember the path by heart, I run these 2 commands: locate php.ini ------- typing manually one of the paths that are shown in the list...

I am running a fairly standard LAMP stack. The problem is an intermittent rendering of UTF-8 characters correctly. About 50% of the time the non-ASCII UTF-8 characters render correctly (e.g. with appropriate diacritical marks), but about 50% of the time I get the '?' rendition instead. If I reload the page, sometimes it corrects the pro...
I've converted my database from Latin 1 to UTF8, and using phpPMyAdmin you can enter data and display it correctly. However viewing in the pages I've developed in PHP and editing it using my simple CMS saves characters that must be incorrectly coded. I've spent a few hours researching and eventually came up with this code snippet: mysq...
