10 Nov 09 _ The story of AWP

Alan, our new programmer asked me to explain the history behind our name “Ancient Wisdom Productions”. The following illustration is what happened on the piece of paper in front of me as I talked. I think it basically explains it all! Hope I’m not giving away any company secrets here!

21 Mar 09 _ How to change the default server time on GoDaddy (linux)

I found this easy solution for changing GoDaddy’s default server time so my PHP 4 scripts would display the proper dates and times when fetching and displaying an RSS feed with Simplepie. Just add this code to your script before you include the “simplepie.inc” file (or before you begin to calculate dates or times on the page):

<?php
//set timezone
putenv ('TZ=America/New_York');
mktime(0,0,0,1,1,1970);
?>

Just replace America/New_York with whatever your local time zone is. Check this page for valid entries: http://us.php.net/manual/en/timezones.america.php

For PHP5.1 or newer use date_default_time(’America/New_York’).

Also check this page in the Simplepie docs for reference.

Cheers!

09 Mar 09 _ How to get CakePHP to work in a subdirectory

I recently had trouble getting CakePHP running properly in a subdirectory on the Mosso cloud. The main site URL is http://thinkandthrive.com, and the Cake app lives in a folder off the site root called “tw”. So I was able to connect to http://thinkandthrive.com/tw/, but not to http://thinkandthrive.com/tw (without the trailing slash).

The fix to get Cake working in the subdirectory was to add a single line to the .htaccess file in the Cake root directory ( the “/tw” folder in my case). The .htaccess file should look something like this:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule    ^$ app/webroot/    [L]
RewriteRule    (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]

Add this line after “RewriteEngine on”:

RewriteRule /YOURCAKESUBDIR$ /YOURCAKESUBDIR/ [L]

Obviously, replace “YOURCAKESUBDIR” with the subdirectory your Cake app in running in. So my .htaccess file now looks like this:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /tw/
RewriteRule /tw$ /tw/ [L]
RewriteRule    ^$ app/webroot/    [L]
RewriteRule    (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]

(The third line, “RewriteBase /tw/”, is necessary to get CakePHP working in the Mosso hosting environment. If your Cake installation is at the server web root (the Mosso “content” directory) then it should read simply “RewriteBase /”. If your site is not hosted at Mosso just eliminate this line.)

Thanks to Jeff Loiselle for the quick fix: http://jeff.loiselles.com/wordpress/?p=22
