Re: To do list progress - Add your own idea

I think webalizer or mrtg would be great additions.

Say if we would goto devio.us/webalizer.  We could see who uses mass quantities of bandwidth and top links from here.

MRTG would be more looks than needed, its just cool to see mem cpu and network usage graphs.

Edit: Maybe a php ssh script?  For people that are on public computers and need to connect through ssh.

PHP based shells should be avoided at all costs. I could write an essay on why it is a terrible idea, but you can easily google this as well.

We can provide a java based SSH client though.

daniel: You get what I meant though, I agree java would be a better solution.  wink

cook: i'm checking it out now, thanks.

It has been completed. Rejoice smile You can now chmod 600 your .php files and you will be safe from prying eyes.

We'll make a full post about it soon.

Thanks,

Thank you! I was actually going to ask about php security but you've cut me off preemptively  :)

Coool!!! Actually if you chmod 750 and chown user:www the public_html folder nobody will be able to access it like "nano /home/user/public_html/index.php" (index.php=755) smile

Re: To do list progress - Add your own idea

As of today I implemented a new feature which will allow you to reset your password in case you lost it.
Right now it's only in the FAQ but if it's considered essential we will provide a link in the navigation menu.

You can access the page at http://www.devio.us/forgotpassword

In addition to that: If anyone of you gets an error opening his / her website with an "Internal Error 500", please immediately contact us and we will look into that.

I had that problem when suphp first went live, the two problems I had to fix from playing around with php before that were a) trying to set a php variable with a .htaccess file (which won't work with suphp), and having set one of my scripts to 0777 while trying to figure out the first problem (suphp won't run any script that is group- or globally-writable).

Yes, this is actually something that will probably need to go into the FAQ as I foresee it coming up very often.

Personally, I prefer AjaxTerm than Mindterm, I thinks it's better, so add it to your to-do list!

Re: To do list progress - Add your own idea

what about getting a lisp interpreter + mod_lisp for apache?

I don't know which one would be a good choice for OpenBSD though.

Re: To do list progress - Add your own idea

Hello,
   It would be nice if you collapsed the whole "python|ruby|..." ideas into
"More Compilers!More Interpreters! More Tools!".
I'm currently missing haskell(I know it's not exactly critical) and mercurial.

Thank you,

Re: To do list progress - Add your own idea

Todo: PostgreSQL ?

Re: To do list progress - Add your own idea

As far as the interpreters are concerned - we can most certainly do lisp and haskell and lisp. We'll probably have to wait and see if there is any demand for mod_lisp and go from there.

Re: To do list progress - Add your own idea

Wasup, sorry, we don't see much point in running two separate DB's; besides the fact that it would become a nightmare to manage, it would be a waste of resources as well, considering 95% of the users would use MySQL.

If it becomes a bigger need, we will consider it again.

Re: To do list progress - Add your own idea

Todo: PostgreSQL+plpgsql, php5-pgsql, php5-session, php5-dom ? I'm from other 5%... smile
