Commodore 64 - 30th anniversary

This week the Commodore 64 has become 30 years old. This computer was for a lot a people the first step into the wonderful world of computers and IT. It was my first own computer (my first experiences I had on a Exidy Sorcerer). Here are some links about the wonderful machine:

New project : OpenLDAP & FreeRADIUS

I've decided to postpone my Wordpress efforts and concentrate on something else. I'm going to experiment with OpenLDAP and FreeRADIUS. In the end I want to get 802.1X running on a switch. I've already tried to setup something on FreeBSD and Ubuntu but OpenLDAP on Ubuntu is a mess. So this will be an FreeBSD piece again.

If you're interested check these sites:

The FreeBSD Experience - Part 5 : Apache/Joomla

In this part, I continue with my FreeBSD server and configure it to host two Joomla sites. Let's say I'm going to create seperate sites for John and Jenn. First go to the directory containing the original Joomla installation:

cd /usr/local/www/

cp -Rp joomla john
cp -Rp joomla jenn

chown www:www john

chown www:www jenn

Now I have two seperate Joomla installations (it is advised to copy the original Joomla directory before starting your installation). Next is adding virtual hosts in the Apache config.

Uncomment the following line in /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf:

Include etc/apache22/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
