FOSSMeet@NITC 2008 April 4-6

For last FOSSMeet@NITC, I had gone with Pramode Sir. It was a great experience for me. You can see there lot of free and open minded people . They are ready to share their knowledge. Moreover they believe that one day open source softwares can dominate over proprietary sofwares and can establish a free software , free knowledge culture . If you go just with thirst of knowledge, it will be a greatful experience to you... I am guaranty. I can't go for FOSSMeet@NITC 2008 http://fossmeet.in/ this year . You can here lot of technical talks as well as open source philosophy.Surely ,you can ask how can I contribute to Open softwares . You will get answers from that people or you will get inspiration to study further and create something as an engineer.

One more blogspot

Today I have started one more blogspot for writting the messages and emails that I deletes daily. These sms and emails gives me lot of ideas as well as fun . I shares that to you through http://smsbin.blogspot.com/

Start PHP and Mysql in Fedora Core 3

Actually I studied how to open mysql in fedora linux in my last vacation time. But I haven't written it anywhere . That's why I had to go for searching it again.

If we installed every mysql package in Fedora Core 3, we would get one 'mysqld'. It starts mysql server demon.

For getting mysql prompt , execute /etc/init.d/mysqld start in shell prompt.

[root@localhost ~]# /etc/init.d/mysqld start

Starting MySQL: [ OK ].....

Execute mysql in shell prompt.

[root@localhost ~]# mysql

mysql > SHOW databases;

mysql > USE mysql;

mysql > SHOW tables;

PHP :-

We can embed php code inside HTML. I copied my php code in /var/www/html and started httpd - Apache Hypertext Transfer Protocol Server . Application --> System Settings --> Server Settings --> Services , tick httpd and click Start.

example 1:

< ?

phpinfo();

? >

save this code in /var/www/html as test.php

run http://localhost/test.php in mozilla. Then we will get the php installation details.

You can make changes in /etc/php.ini.
