  • Samsung I9000 Galaxy S: European Smartphone 2010-2011 award

    As expected, the Galaxy S is the best smartphone in the EISA Awards 2010. With its exceptional screen quality and excellent connectivity, there’s no doubt that the Samsung Galaxy S won the award for the year 2010-2011.

    Because of this, I have finally decided buy this great android phone next week. I have tried it once, and I’m amazed by its awesome features, sleek style, and everything about it. I also like its music player wherein you can select discs just like selecting a cd in real life.

    I have nothing else to say, just check out the reviews of Samsung I9000 Galaxy S.

  • Change your PHP handler from mod_php (DSO) to suPHP

    Finally, I decided to change my server’s PHP handler to suPHP from mod_php. It’s more secure and I can update my plugins and WordPress files automatically without annoying permission errors.

    Here’s what my php config looks like after the update:

     

php.conf updated to:

# This file was automatically generated by the Cpanel PHP Configuration system
# If you wish to change the way PHP is being handled by Apache on your system,
# use the /usr/local/cpanel/bin/rebuild_phpconf script or the WHM interface.
#
# Manual edits of this file will be lost when Apache is updated.


# SuPHP configuration for PHP5
LoadModule suphp_module modules/mod_suphp.so
suPHP_Engine on
AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml

    suPHP_AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5


# End of autogenerated PHP configuration.


Updating user configurable PHP settings.
[info] recursion depth is set to: 2
Restarting Apache

    Now, I can update WordPress hassle free!

    To change your php handler, you should have WHM root access. This is the only way I know. I think you can change it via SSH, but I haven’t tried it yet.

    Once you’re logged in as root, just go to Service Configuration > Configure PHP and SuExec > Alter Configuration > PHP 5 Handler > Select suPHP.

    Once you’ve selected suPHP, just click “Save New Configuration”.

    That’s it!
