So is this still going to happen? I haven’t been able to find anything else on it. My company just recently decided to make Wordpress the content management system for one of our sites and I could really use a chance to learn more about the program myself.

Comment on Gmail False Positives Are On The Rise by v0vets

v0vets — Thu, 15 May 2008 11:27:58 +0000

Last 2 weeks I’ve got a dozen of false positives
(good messages in spam box). Some of them were from respectful
domains.
But I was killed by spam filter today - when me friend (he also uses
gmail and we email each other frequently) has received invitation from
my googlegroup and it was marked as SPAM !!!!.
Impossible.
Something should be done - such false positives is a real shame on
gmail spam filter.

Comment on WordPress File Uploads With IIS by Anthony Foust

Anthony Foust — Tue, 13 May 2008 19:50:16 +0000

I followed your instructions and WP will let me upload pictures just fine. The problem I have is that once the picture has been uploaded it won’t display for some reason even thought IUSR has full control over that content folder. What I find out is that the permission are not propagating to the file level until I manually tell it to propagate each time I upload a photo. Has anyone had any problems like this?

My Setup:

Windows 2008 Enterprise w/ IIS 7 w/ FastCGI
WordPress 2.5.1
Latest MySQL
Latest PHP 5

If you want HTTPS for only 2 or more individual files not a full directory, Then try this

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^index.php$ https://www.phppassion.com/index.php

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^index1.php$ https://www.phppassion.com/index1.php

It works.

Comment on Perl Oneliner: Recursive Search and Replace by Mike Golvach

Mike Golvach — Tue, 13 May 2008 03:36:18 +0000

Hey There,

For “not replacing” files that already exist, I use this with that perl one-liner when I’m piping filenames to it - it’s not built into the options, but is pretty simple to type once :)

perl -p -i -e ’s/ThisThing/ThatThing/; rename $_, unless -e $_;’

It doesn’t work “out of context” because $_ requires a value, but you can use the rename half of my version of the one-liner to insert in the previous code to prevent against overwriting :)

Great post :)

, Mike

Comment on Sun Should Be in the Consumer Cloud Services Business by Jean-Baptiste

Jean-Baptiste — Fri, 09 May 2008 06:31:38 +0000

During a conversation with Jonathan, he confirmed that Sun will be moving towards Cloud Services. Not sure if it’ll be consumer oriented. But Sun does intend to compete with Amazon. So does EMC, according to its CEO that I’ve interviewed during RSA.
Here’s the link to the Schwartz interview on my blog: http://www.uberpulse.com/us/2008/04/mysql_conference_sun_plans_to_build_own_cloud_compete_with_amazon_web_services_podcast.php

Comment on Things That Shouldn’t Be in File Names for $1,000 Alex by Brent Crouch

I just realized when loading files on the internet that most search engines don’t understand the underscore in a file name. They don’t see it as a seperator they view it as a character. If you want to use a seperator for internet files use a hyphen.

Another nice way, in linux or unix, to find and get rid of files with problem characters is to run “ps -i” to note the “inode number of the file. Then (making sure you’re in the directory you want to delete the file name from, since inode numbers aren’t unique across partition) running something like:

find . -inum 5678 -exec rm {} \;

It almost always works, but I almost always use it a last resort, also :)

Nice post!
