HTTPS + NGINX with self signed SSL certificate
If you want to use https with nginx on your dedicated server, you have the option to buy a certificate. The other way, even though less secure for your clients: create a self signed certificate.
I want to show, how you can create a self signed certificate and how to use it with nginx on an ubuntu linux.
Open a root shell and head to the nginx configuration folder.
2
# cd /etc/nginx
Generate the self signed certificate and answer the questions.
Now make the files only visible to the owner (root).
Add the ssl section as new site:
with this code:
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
listen 443;
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/server.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/server.key;
server_name ssl.example.org;
location / {
root /var/www/ssl.example.org;
index index.php;
}
# ... and so on
}
Reboot nginx:
Head to your site: https://ssl.example.org. You'll recieve a message in your favorite browser saying that the certificate is insecure, because the author signed it on his own. You have to make an exception.
This does not look very professional. So you should use this procedure only for projects, where you can live with this 'error message'.
LFE (sub-woofer) disabled in Ubuntu 10.10 Maveric Meerkat
When I updated to ubuntu 10.10, I had this mysterious problem.
The sub-woofer just worked one time right after I clicked the "5.1 System" in the ubuntu sound options. As soon as a song ended, the sub-woofer was mute again.
I expected this to be an issue of the pulseaudio integration in 10.10. The reason was way simpler!
In 10.10 by default:
is set in
Just change this to
and pulseaudio will mix the 2 channel sound tracks up to the 5 channels including LFE!
Cannot connect to ICQ on Ubuntu Maveric Meerkat
Today I expirienced the issue, that empathy (the ubuntu icq, msn, facebook, ... client) was not able to connect to ICQ anymore.
To fix that issue, just install pidgin ppa (yes, I know you want empathy, but you'll need libpurple to fix it for empathy!).
Then
You'll see something like:

Configuring libpurple0 ein (1:2.7.5-1ubuntu2+pidgin1.10.10) ...
and everything is fine again. Just restart empathy!
Thanks to twenty-three for the hint.
Update for Mootools Youtube Player
Today I updated the YtMooPlayer.js-component (showcase).
A while back the youtube chromeless api of google changed, so it was manadatory to set the "version"-parameter.
The new 1.0.1 version of YtMooPlayer.js fixes this issue.
You can download the youtube mootools class at dracoblue.net or pull the source from github.
PhpDebugToolbar 1.1.1 (for agavi) released
Today I am pleased to announce the availability of the Agavi PHP DebugToolbar for download. After the success of the Qos-Filter for agavi, I want to relaunch the useful agavi toolbar with a different name, a better look and feel and a way better code base.
Screenshot:
What is PhpDebugToolbar?
Like you can see on the screenshot, it's a little Toolbar (written in JS+CSS), which keeps track of all stuff happening in your php agavi application.
So you can easily spot memory leaks, time exhausting tasks and extensive usage of database queries (with the doctrine extension).
Additionally it integrates easily into the logging system of agavi, just add the PhpDebugToolbarLoggerAppender class in your logging.xml!
Where to download Toolbar?
The source can be found on github now http://github.com/DracoBlue/PhpDebugToolbar, feel free to fork it and send pull request with new features!
Download for PhpDebugToolbar 1.1.1 (just 20KB) is also available here at dracoblue.net.
Short installation and configuration information can be found in the readme. Thanks to all contributors!
This is meant to be a lightweight alternative to the unofficial Agavi Debug Tools. It won't have FirePHP output or other neat features, which ship with Agavi Debug Tools. So if you need them: use adt, please!
