Find php.ini fileChange:;extension=php_exif.dllTo:extension=php_exif.dllNote I have remove ‘;’ (uncommented) .Done!Hope this helps someone.

I’m taking up CakePHP in a rather non-traditional way.Please see this blog for updated CakePHP Tutorial (v. 1.2.x)CakePHP Tutorial.

In PHP.ini file

Find the following line: 

;extension=php_gd2.dll

Uncomment extension=”php_gd2″.dll by deleting the ‘;’ in front of it.

Restart Apache. 

In php.ini file. look for the line “;extension=php_curl.dll” and take the semi-colon off from the beginning. That’s it!!!

Problem:
I am working with a project, which uses php short open tag, i.e., “<?”.  
Fine. No problem. But my WAMP version 1.6.6 does not support it by default.
Solution:
Start WAMP. Follow: Config Files -> php.ini
Find “short_open_tag”. Note the default setting is ‘Off’. Turn the flag to ‘On’. Like this:
short_open_tag = On ; allow the tags are recognized.
And you are done.

Anyway, feeling glad to come back after long days.
Merry Christmas!
P.S.Hopefully, I’ll be able to make a fresh entry before the new year.

I loved the superfast slim Google Chrome Browser; but it does not have facility to install add-on components - some of which are very much important to keep your computer safe, like adult content filter; no way out but I have just uninstalled the browser.

The browser also has an awesome feature - its incognito window - which does not leave any trace of page visits! Good for accessing secured data and at the same time this may be a big problem as it is impossible to keep track of visits being made from your PC using incognito.
Hopefully, Google will consider adding adult content filter, which should be protected by password to avoid unauthorized alteration in those settings.

I’ll re-install if it comes back with that filter.

Former Google employees prepare rival search engine.

I could not concentrate on this blog for quite sometime now, and when I returned here, I got to clear over 5000+ spam comments - thanks to WP for I could just clear it within a flash of a second.

Currently I am deeply involved with my social shopping project, http://fancy-shoppe.com

Hopefully, visitors to this blog, if any, will take a look at our project and offer valued comments.

I’ll try to update this blog as and when feasible, if I get some interesting topics relating to the world of WEBMASTERS.

Thanks.

It has been nicely explained in the following articles:

#1

#2

And in many other places. Worth reading and implementing the same.

Quick ToDO list:

Step:1

Open file, named as ‘hosts’ (found under c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ folder in WiinXP)

Add the line mentioned below at the end of that file.

127.0.0.1 client-website-name.local

Save & close that file.

Step: 2

Open httpd.conf (Either search for it, or click White WAMP icon at system tray -> Config File -> httpd.conf)

Search for the string: DocumentRoot

DocumentRoot “C:/wamp/www”

Add FOLLOWING LINES BELOW DocumentRoot “C:/wamp/www”.
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>

ServerName localhost

DocumentRoot “C:/wamp/www”

</VirtualHost>
AND below that, add these lines:

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>

ServerName myclient.local

DocumentRoot “C:/wamp/www/folder-name”

</VirtualHost>

Now Save & Close httpd.conf

Step: 3

Restart WAMP

Open your web browser and type: http://myclient.local

It will display local copy of your client’s website.

Hi! The search engine giant seems to be facing difficulties in keeping up to its promise - sites supported with paid links are still finding decent position in search results. I read about this news, sorry, can’t share the links - but it was in the comments section, where some traces of concrete evidence.

Fact is that it may be hard for the bot to detect paid links - irrespective of how much clever can it be. Or, the bot will penalize sites telling - ‘Your link here for $1′! It may be for advertisement purpose as well, and a claim like that does not guarantee that the owner has managed to earn a single paid link for that site. Getting paid link is not that easy!

So, it will be more like feedback or man-monitored algorithm? I need some serious in sight into this issue.

On the other hand partnership deeds are just going great for Google - with its new tie-up with Swiss Sunrise , the second largest telecommunications company in Switzerland is offering its customers a new e-mail service based on Google Mail.

It looks like Google is also being used as a password cracker read this story.

So the internet is full of Google activity!  More  Google stuff will follow. Stay tuned.
