Yourls + WP plugin

· linux, software, www

I came against a problem that my Yourls WordPress plugin refused to generate a short url (it timed out when publishing a post; and it sent a tweet with no url).

And when someone visited the post it tried to regenerate a new short url (and this often resulted in 4-5 short urls being created) with title “301 moved permanently”.

Mobile Vikings & iPhones

· apple

Because it took me about 10 minutes to Google it, I’ll recap it here;

 

If tethering is unavailable on ones iPhone, and you have to helpdesk him/her out of it, go to:

Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data Network

And set “Cellular data” to:

APN: web.be
username: web
password: web

And reboot the device… Tethering should/will be available.

Xen: NAT and Bridging

· linux, networking

Because dom0 was running NAT, and I needed bridging;

Debian network file (/etc/network/interfaces):

iface eth3 inet manual

auto xenbr0
iface xenbr0 inet static
        bridge_ports eth3
        address 10.19.86.1
        broadcast 10.19.86.255
        netmask 255.255.255.0

NAT is running on eth2, bridging on eth3 (/etc/xen/xend-config.sxp):

(network-script 'network-nat netdev=eth2')

Now, for the VM configs:

NAT:

vif         = [ 'ip=172.16.1.12,mac=00:16:3E:5E:0D:1A' ]

Bridge:

vif         = [ 'ip=85.12.6.178,mac=00:16:3E:1D:F5:6C,script=vif-bridge,bridge=xenbr0' ]

It’s magic and it works! ;)
