But with lighttpd biggest problem is you cant use smartass permalinks on wordpress like me. Ex- www.ruchirablog.com/post-title instead of www.ruchirablog.com/p=44

If you are smart in linux and compilations of server ware this might be simple problem to you. But for average users like us this is a really messy questions.

Lets get to the topic,

Setting up lighttpd is very easy like apache with kloxo search this blog for “installing kloxo” for kloxo installation guide. Kloxo will install both lighttpd and apache in default and you can switch between them on single click.

IF you are using kloxo as your server management tool keep noticed that your kloxo installation doesnt include lighttpd mod_magnet to use permalinks with easy. Integrating mod_magnet will be difficult because kloxo platform is bit complex and its having some issues when installing like normal.

So forget permalinks with mod_magnet even you are with kloxo or other setup of lighttpd.There is much easier way of using all kinds of permalinks in just single line of mod in lighttpd.conf file.

Just fire up your SSH client (PUTTY)

Enter to your server by using root privileges.

Then you need to find and edit lighttpd.conf file on your server. If you dont know where is lighttpd.conf file type

Whereis lighttpd.conf

It will display the path to lighttpd.conf file

Then fireup your favorite text editor ( my favorite is NANO to install nano type “Yum install nano” on SSH )

then open lighttpd.conf with NANO. Command for this on kloxo setup is “nano /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf”

Then add this simple line to your lighttpd.conf file.

server.error-handler-404 = "/index.php"

 

This one line support for all structures of permalinks. No matter what it is.
This is it one simple line does it all instead of crazy mod_magnets

But please note that plugin WP-Super-Cache will not work with this mod. it needs mod_magnet but you can use WP-Cache or Hyper-cache plugins as you caching plugin. I personally use Hyper-Cache but ill test WP-Cache later too.

If you have a wordpress blog like me the first and best solution is to install wp super cache as php caching system. Its very nice plugin even that works in shared hosting platforms. If you are in shared platform only solution is php caching plugin system for wordpress or your cms like drupal,joomla

but if you are in VPS or dedicated server there are better options first one is -

*
eaccelerator www.eaccelerator.net

Second bit advanced tweak is to install

* memcached www.memcached.org

As you can see this blog now uses memcached version 1.4.5 latest,

Memcached is a Free & open source, high-performance, distributed memory object caching system, generic in nature, but intended for use in speeding up dynamic web applications by alleviating database load.

Memcached is an in-memory key-value store for small chunks of arbitrary data (strings, objects) from results of database calls, API calls, or page rendering.

Memcached 1.4.5

Note that I have used a plugin to view these results on wordpress admin panel.
In my future posts ill explain how to install a 100% complete speedy hosting platform with all new apps and engines.

Greatest update is memcached. Now this site runs on memcached latest version and enough memory to cache my whole database. And memcached is fully configured to use with wordpress.

In my future posts ill explain how to install a web panel and memcached and all gadgetty apps for run your web sites on even low end server.

• Unlocking Huawei HSPA Modems for free

Update 2010/03/03 http://www.ruchirablog.com/free-simple-calculate-huawei-unlock-codes/

This post is about another crack/Hack . Today im going to write about simple,100% free , and fast method to unlock huawei HSDPA (3G,3.5G) dongles/Modems. You can use this feature for unlock these huawei modems-

I think you know the meaning of locked dongles. That means that dongles locked for using one career which you bought the modem from.

There are various unlocking methods to use 99% of them costs more than $10 . In this method you didn’t require to buy anthing from anywhere but you needs to register on the forum http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/ to obtain your unlock code from one of their members. Im 100% sure that you will get your unlock code within 15 minutes from their member base. There are unlock code calculators which can be used to obtain codes easily but they are not 100% accurate some times so its risky to try them some times because if you enter unlock code wrong more than 10 times the modem will lock permanently So you it will need some advanced operation to remove that lock. So I presume you registered on the forum now.

After registering there go to the thread http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=781410 Please do not ask for unlock codes in other threads because that thread is the only place to ask for codes.

On that thread place new post mentioning your modems model ex- Huawei E156G (which I tested) And your IMEI number (you can see that on the housing of the modem)

Ex post-

Please help me to unlock my modem

Model- Huawei E156G
IMEI- 359390*********

Usually withn 10-15 minutes you will get unlock code from some member there in reply to your post -

Ex-

Voila. After obtaining your code download this simple software to enter the unlock code to your HSPA modem- Download it here – http://www.sagmaster.com/download/10SMTi/HUAWEI_MODEM_Code_Writer.rar

Then run it-

Click detect and slect your modem from list then click accept.

Then click Unlock Modem and enter your 8 digit unlock code that you got from the forum members-

Then click ok. Whopas Its done. Next post will be about activating hidden voice calling feature for free in many huawei modems. Enjoy your unlocked modem and use it wisely.

Still RuchiraBlog is hosted on Dreamhost’s shared servers. I got it like free 1 year domain registration and 1 year hosting for just $9.99 When they had promotion. So its a freaking deal.
For first impression I thought dreamhost is just FLOP because of this insane price and they must be overselling it.
No I got it wrong. According to domaintools report (whois.domaintols.com) The current server only hosts about 44 domains compared to hostgator they hosts about 400 sites in a server. When checking with SSH server only consumes lower %10 memory usage for running the sites. And I must say servers are very stable and i only got few moments of downtime and dreamhost was kind enough to inform about downtimes on their status blog www.dreamhoststatus.com most of web hosting companies fear to do this because they think it will affect for building up future customer base because they can read it then avoid hosting there if thinks something wrong going on.

After 1 year of hosting in peace I must say Dreamhost is awful I didn’t had to contact their customer support even once for any problem.
Any one who wish to host up with them I definitely recommend to host there.

Advantages-

• Fast servers
• Very good uptime
• SSH access enabled for all accounts
• Not overselling
• Nice and unique control panel

• 100% recommended by Ruchira Sahan

Disadvantages-

• Lack of server side stat system like awstats webalizer

For all dreamhost guys who read this blog-

Kudos for you man keep up the great work!!
