HP LaserJet P1006 is in error state

Try this to resolve :

1. Click Start.

2. In the Search field type :   cmd

3. Right click on the Command Prompt icon at the top of the Start Bar and choose Run as Administrator.

4. Type the following below in succession:

               net stop spooler

               del %systemroot%\system32\spool\printers\*.*

               y

               net start spooler

5. If it still doesn't work you might try different printer drivers, PCL drivers usually offer better printer support than Universal drivers, especially PCL5 drivers which are made for compatibility.

Hope so...

How to broadcast email using mail merge in Mozilla Thunderbird

Download Mozilla Thunderbird and install it

For first time users, you need to set up your default email account in Thunderbird. Here are expanded tutorials on Automatic Account Configuration and Manual Account Configuration on Mozilla support.

How to set up Mail Merge and Thunderbird

If you’re using Thunderbird as your default e-mail client, proceed to the Mail Merge download and installation.

1. After downloading the Mail Merge file “mail_merge-3.10.1-sm+tb.xpi,” launch Thunderbird. You may set it as your default email client or skip the integration.

2. Click Tools and choose “Add-ons,” and it will direct you to the “Add-ons Manager” tab. See the gear icon adjacent the Search bar, and click the drop-down menu.

3. Choose “Install Add-on from File,” and open the Mail Merge file that you previously downloaded; restart the email client for the changes to take effect.

Prepare the contacts in a spreadsheet as CSV file

Mail Merge is beneficial for those who have been building their e-mail contacts in a spreadsheet. In this tutorial, here’s what it looks like.

1. Create a spreadsheet and save it as a .csv file (e.g. mtelist.csv based on screenshot) if you don’t have one.

2. Make sure that the columns are filled up with names and email addresses. Choose “Save as” for the file and click OK. Never mind the warning in the dialog box; proceed to the next step.

Sending the first personalised message

1. Click the “Write text” icon and create a new message. You may also add more recipients manually in the “To” field.

2. When writing, always include the text you want to use from the CSV file you saved previously with double brackets, e.g. {{Name}}. See A1 on the spreadsheet above.

3. Once you finish writing the draft, go to File and select Mail Merge. Set the Mail Source to CSV, the Delivery Mode (Send as Draft, Send Later, and Send Now), the Format (HTML or Plain) and if you have attachments.

4. Click Browse to upload the CSV file from the directory where you have saved it and click OK. Mail Merge will run, and it will send your message according to the Delivery Mode.

Final thoughts

You can check if the messages are sent in the Sent folder. If you have set the Delivery Mode as Send Later, then they will be automatically saved in Outbox under Local Folders. Keep in mind that the text inside the double brackets should be the same text or name of the column labeled in the CSV file you have saved. See A1 on the spreadsheet above. The CSV option works well; however, when I tried to do it via Address Book, I keep on getting errors.

Let us know how it works on your side and feel free to share other ways to create mail merge.

Test with sqlplus instantclient

I recommand to install Oracle Server with a VirtualBox VM preinstalled.

/usr/local/bin/sqlplus oracle/oracle@192.168.2.2

Install extension with pecl

pecl install oci8

If the script prompt you to provide the path to ORACLE_HOME directory, respond with:

instantclient,/usr/local/lib

And your are done, normally pecl will automatically load the extension in your `php.ini`. If not, add the following line to your `php.ini`:

extension=oci8.so

Restart your HTTP Server and test.

Enjoy (or try to…) !

Troubleshooting

Cannot find autoconf. Please check your autoconf installation and the
$PHP_AUTOCONF environment variable. Then, rerun this script.
ERROR: `phpize' failed

Solution :

Run this command. First run this command to make sure your mac can run command brew

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

brew install autoconf

FreeBSD Install and Configure Webmin Web-based Interface

Q. How do I install webmin control panel for my FreeBSD server?

A. Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix including FreeBSD. Using any browser that supports tables and forms, you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing, firewall and so on. Webmin consists of a simple web server, and a number of CGI programs which directly update system files like /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/master.passwd.

Install webmin

To install webmin, update your ports, enter:
# portsnap fetch update
Install webmin from /usr/ports/sysutils/webmin, enter:
# cd /usr/ports/sysutils/webmin
# make install clean

Configure webmin

Now, webmin is installed. Start webmin on startup, enter:
# vi /etc/rc.conf
Append following line:
webmin_enable="YES"
Save and close the file. You need to run /usr/local/lib/webmin/setup.sh script in order to setup the various config files, enter:
# /usr/local/lib/webmin/setup.sh
Sample output:

*********************************************************************** *            Welcome to the Webmin setup script, version 1.420        * *********************************************************************** Webmin is a web-based interface that allows Unix-like operating systems and common Unix services to be easily administered.

How To Configure Web Access To Subversion Repositories Using Apache

This how to is going to describe the steps to get the mod_dav_svn module to work in an Apache web server. First I'll assume that we don't have Apache and Subversion installed on our FreeBSD box, in a second part I'll explain how to add the module using our current installation.

First we have to install our Apache 2.0.x with Berkeley DB support (because Subversion will use Berkeley DB to save the repositories). To do this we have to go to the ports dir and do this:

box# cd /usr/ports/www/apache20/
box# make -DWITH_BDB4 install clean
some installation steps...

Add apache ability to start automatically at boot time:

box# echo 'apache2_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf

After we have apache20 installed with bdb support, we'll have to install Subversion:

box# cd /usr/ports/devel/subversion
box# make -DWITH_MOD_DAV_SVN install clean
some installation steps...

After installation we'll have to ensure that mod_dav_svn module was properly installed on apache.

box# cat /usr/local/etc/apache2/httpd.conf | grep svn

LoadModule dav_svn_module libexec/apache2/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module libexec/apache2/mod_authz_svn.so

We have apache with mod_dav_svn module installed properly. At this point we can create a repository. This will help us to test our instalation:

box# mkdir /usr/home/svn
box# mkdir /usr/home/svn/repos
box# svnadmin create /usr/home/svn/repos/test

Then we have to create the files that are going to be used to authenticate the users.

box# mkdir /usr/home/svn/access
box# cd /usr/home/svn/access
box# htpasswd -cm users root
password:****
box# htpasswd -m users viewer
password:*****

box# vi control

[test:/]
root = rw
viewer = r.

At this point we have apache with bdb support, subversion with mod_dav_svn module installed, our repository created, the users and the control to our repository. Now we will configure apache to read the repositories:

box# cd /usr/local/etc/apache2/Includes/
box# cat svn.conf

DAV svn
SVNParentPath /usr/home/svn/repos
SVNIndexXSLT "http://svn.example.com/svnindex.xsl"
AuthzSVNAccessFile /usr/home/svn/access/control
# anonymous first
Satisfy Any
Require valid-user
# authenticating them valid ones
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion Repositories at example.com"
AuthUserFile /usr/home/svn/access/users

Apache will read all the files that are under the Includes directory, so our svn.conf will be loaded when apache starts, note that we are loading svnindex.xsl that is the file where the transformations are done, if you would like to give to your repository some look and feel work these file will be the appropiate. The file skeletons are under /usr/local/share/subversion/xslt/ directory, there are two files, one .xsl and another .css. Copy these files to your document root. I have a virtual server called svn.example.com in my machine. I have all my virtual servers under /usr/local/www/pages, so I have svn.example.com directory and I've configured that virtual server in /usr/local/etc/apache2/httpd.conf.

NameVirtualHost *:80

      ServerAdmin ecruz@example.com
      ServerName svn.example.com
      DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/pages/svn.example.com
CustomLog /var/log/svn.example.com-access_log common

Restart the web server:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh restart

If all went ok, we have our web server working properly, to test it, open in your Firefox or whatever browser and go to http://svn.example.com/svn/repos/test. It will ask you for the credentials, so use root or viewer. It must display the test repository at revision 0. I'll suggest to install TortoiseSVN on Windows boxes to get access to the repositories.

Now, as a plus, we will configure an alert in our subversion test repository to send a notification when a commit was done. To do this we will have to create an executable file under the hooks directory:

box# cd /usr/home/svn/repos/test/hooks/
box# cat post-commit

[code]
#!/usr/local/bin/php

[/code]

To get this to work with your current installation you have to change only the subversion installation step:

box# cd /usr/ports/devel/subversion
box# make deinstall
box# make -DWITH_MOD_DAV_SVN -DWITHOUT_BDB4 install clean

Ok, this is the end of this howto, any improvements are welcome. Regards!

nohup Execute Commands After You Exit From a Shell Prompt

Most of the time you login into remote server via ssh. If you start a shell script or command and you exit (abort remote connection), the process / command will get killed. Sometime job or command takes a long time. If you are not sure when the job will finish, then it is better to leave job running in background. However, if you logout the system, the job will be stopped. What do you do?

nohup command

Answer is simple, use nohup utility which allows to run command./process or shell script that can continue running in the background after you log out from a shell:

nohup Syntax:

nohup command-name &

Where,

• command-name : is name of shell script or command name. You can pass argument to command or a shell script.
• & : nohup does not automatically put the command it runs in the background; you must do that explicitly, by ending the command line with an & symbol.

nohup command examples

1) Login to remote server
$ ssh user@remote.server.com
2) Execute script called pullftp.sh
# nohup pullftp.sh &
Type exit or press CTRL + D exit from remote server.
# exit
3) Find all programs and scripts with setuid bit set on, enter:
# nohup find / -xdev -type f -perm +u=s -print > out.txt &
Type exit or press CTRL + D exit from remote server.
# exit
Please note that nohup does not change the scheduling priority of COMMAND; use nice for that:
# nohup nice -n -5 ls / > out.txt &
As you can see nohup keep processes running after you exit from a shell. Read man page of nohup and nice command for more information. Please note that nohup is almost available on Solaris/BSD/Linux/UNIX variant.

Update:
# 1: As pointed out by Jason you can use at command to queue a job for later execution. For example, you can run pullftp.sh script to queue (one minute) later execution
$ echo "pullftp.sh" | at now + 1 minute
# 2: You can also use screen command for same. Brock pointed out disown shell internal command for same purpose. Here is how you can try it out:
$ pullftp.sh &
$ disown -h
$ exit
According to bash man page:

By default, removes each JOBSPEC argument from the table of active jobs. If the -h option is given, the job is not removed from the table, but is marked so that SIGHUP is not sent to the job if the shell receives a SIGHUP. The -a option, when JOBSPEC is not supplied, means to remove all jobs from the job table; the -r option means to remove only running jobs.

autostart apache during boot

i just finished my apache, php, mysql installation for my new server.  i used Centos 5.1. Those not started when i reboot my server. Oh..i forgot to make it autostart during boot time. 

Here the steps to auto run apache or mysql during the boot time..

run command runlevel to check your current Centos run level

Running runlevel command on my centos linux machines displays default run level as 5.You must be wondering what runlevel has to do with by autostarting apache server. There is reason for that Linux uses different run levels to boot and you should know default runlevel where you would like to configure apache to autostart during boot.

Next you have to use magic command called chkconfig on fedora to list the apache (httpd) services runlevel:

[root@node12 ~]# chkconfig --list httpd httpd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off

In chkconfig output off means apache (httpd) service is set with no autostart for associated runlevels. Since my default runlevel is 5 , I need to set apache to autostart in runlevel 5 using chkconfig. Here is how you can turn apache autostart for your default run level :

[root@node12 ~]# chkconfig --level 5 httpd on

If your default run level is 3 then you should use 3 in above command. You can also run 

 [root@node12 ~]# chkconfig --level 235 httpd on

to make ur apache run on level 2,3 and 5. 

Now to check if autostart is set as on during boot

Run checkconfig again :

[root@node12 ~]# chkconfig --list httpd httpd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:on 6:off

that's all..Centos your life!! 

configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

Today I have tried to compile a software in a Linux machine, when I run

./configure

I got

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... no checking for mawk... mawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for multicast... checking for gcc... no checking for cc... no checking for cl.exe... no configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH See `config.log' for more details. 

Then I installed gcc with:

apt-get install gcc 

for Ubuntu and for Centos i used

yum install gcc 

and try again, this time I got:

and try again, this time I got:

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... no checking for mawk... mawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for multicast... checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. 

To solve this I had to install g++

apt-get install g++

And then when I tried again it worked, so to compile software with Linux it seems that you mostly need to install both

gcc and g++

Update: Thanks to Thadeu Penna a friend of the blog for this tip.

using

apt-get install build-essential

Will install all the basic tools for developing in Debian and I know it also works for Ubuntu.

enable and disable SElinux

Important

Changes you make to files while SELinux is disabled may give them an unexpected security label, and new files will not have a label. You may need to relabel part or all of the file system after re-enabling SELinux.

From the command line, you can edit the /etc/sysconfig/selinux file. This file is a symlink to/etc/selinux/config. The configuration file is self-explanatory. Changing the value of SELINUX orSELINUXTYPE changes the state of SELinux and the name of the policy to be used the next time the system boots.

[root@host2a ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/selinux # This file controls the state of SELinux on the system. # SELINUX= can take one of these three values: #       enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced. #       permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing. #       disabled - SELinux is fully disabled. SELINUX=permissive # SELINUXTYPE= type of policy in use. Possible values are: #       targeted - Only targeted network daemons are protected. #       strict - Full SELinux protection. SELINUXTYPE=targeted  # SETLOCALDEFS= Check local definition changes SETLOCALDEFS=0 

Changing the Mode of SELinux Using the GUI

Use the following procedure to change the mode of SELinux using the GUI.

Note

You need administrator privileges to perform this procedure.

1. On the System menu, point to Administration and then click Security Level and Firewall to display the Security Level Configuration dialog box.

2. Click the SELinux tab.

3. In the SELinux Setting select either Disabled, Enforcing or Permissive, and then click OK.

4. If you changed from Enabled to Disabled or vice versa, you need to restart the machine for the change to take effect.

Changes made using this dialog box are immediately reflected in /etc/sysconfig/selinux.

Configure PHP connection to Oracle DB – the RPM way

I have CentOS 4.4 box which I want to connect to Oracle DB 10g via PHP
There are 2 way to configure PHP to connect to Oracle DB using OCI:
A. Use PHP RPMs (which included all php module in RPM package) but nowadays oci8 module no longer provider by CentOS and you might use older version of PHP - easiest and quickest way
B. Use current version of PHP and enable oci8 via PEAR. You will get current PHP version with oci8 enable but still in RPM way

Lets begin

A. Use PHP RPMs packages
1. Install Apache if not installed

CODE:
# yum install httpd

2. Download Oracle Client Software -- if you are using GUI
or download Oracle InstantClient BasicLite (the rpm version) -- I choose this and install it.
to get latest version download it from http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/oci/instantclient/instantclient.html

CODE:
# rpm –ivh oracle-instantclient-basiclite-*.rpm

my copy of Oracle Instant Client BasicLite is here
http://www.am3n.profusehost.net/phpoci/oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.3-1.i386.rpm

3. Install PHP and makesure you installed php-oci8 module, other modules you can install it if you like

CODE:
# rpm -ivh php-5*.rpm php-oci8-*.rpm php-pear-*.rpm

I am not using CentOS version because it's not provide oci8 module. But I am using PHP from Miracle Linux - Asianux which also look-like Redhat derivatives distro. They provide complete PHP module including oci8.
Download it from my mirror here.
http://www.am3n.profusehost.net/phprh4/

Info about Miracle Linux - Asianux
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_Linux
Complete PHP modules from Miracle Linux
http://www.miraclelinux.com/update/linux/list.php?errata_id=249

4. Create local variable to connect to Oracle, for NLS_LANG you can set with your locale.

CODE:

# vi /etc/profiles
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.3/client/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8
export NLS_LANG

5. Update linux Library thingy... (locate the oracle library if you use differrent version)

CODE:
# echo /usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.3/client/bin/ >> /etc/ld.so.conf
# echo /usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.3/client/lib/ >> /etc/ld.so.conf
# ldconfig
# cd /usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.3/client/lib/
# ln -s libclntsh.so.10.1 libclntsh.so
# ln -s libocci.so.10.1 libocci.so

# ln -s libocci.so.10.1 libocci.so

6. (Re-)Start the Apache

CODE:
# service httpd restart

B. Use your current PHP version from CentOS
If you already install your PHP and don't want to replace it with older version and/or your current version of PHP didn't provide php-oci8 packages you can install it using the following steps
This how to is modification of PHP-OCI8 in Ubuntu Forum
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-92528.html

1. Install Oracle InstantClient
download it from http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/oci/instantclient/instantclient.html

CODE:
# rpm -ivh oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.3-1.i386.rpm
# rpm -ivh oracle-instantclient-devel-10.2.0.3-1.i386.rpm

http://www.am3n.profusehost.net/phpoci/oracle-instantclient-devel-10.2.0.3-1.i386.rpm

2. Configure linux library thingie...

CODE:
# echo /usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.3/client/bin/ >> /etc/ld.so.conf
# echo /usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.3/client/lib/ >> /etc/ld.so.conf

# ldconfig

3. Install oci8 via pear
Make sure you already install php-devel package (and have upgrade to latest version)

CODE:
# cd /usr/local/src
# pear download oci8
# tar xzf oci8-1.2.3.tgz
# cd oci8-1.2.3
# phpize
# ./configure --with-oci8=shared,instantclient,/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.3/client/lib/
# make
# make install

My copy of oci8 is here
http://www.am3n.profusehost.net/phpoci/oci8-1.2.3.tgz

4. Enable oci8

CODE:
# vi /etc/php.d/oci8.ini
; Enable oci8 extention module
extension=oci8.so

5. (Re-)Start the Apache

CODE:
# service httpd restart

Just want to make sure if your php is already configure with oci8 module create a php file with phpinfo() function
Create phpinfo file

CODE:
# vi /var/www/html/phpinfo.php

View phpinfo. http://yourserver/phpinfo.php
You should see something like this

CODE:
