Htaccess Rewrites for Moving Urls

This is part 2 of the exhaustive Htaccess Tutorial. I realized it was so lengthy that search engines and visitors were having real problems with it, so I moved half of it here. But this gave me the opportunity to add a ton of new stuff that I hadn't been able to add to the main htaccess tutorial. And … Read the rest

3 Ways to Serve PDF Files using Htaccess Cookies, Headers, Rewrites

FYI, using the Mod_Rewrite Variables Cheatsheet makes this example, and all advanced .htaccess code easier to understand. This demo lets you set a cookie with 1 of 3 values, then you just request the pdf file with a normal link click and get 1 of 3 different responses. This is accomplished with a nice bit of .htaccess code.

Set PDF Viewing Mode - Make a selection, then click the view pdf button.

HOWTO: Uninstall CPANEL over SSH

The following is just a quick reference of some of the commands I used to successfully uninstall cpanel. This is for advanced users of the shell. If you aren't that advanced and you run a single one of these commands without fully understanding it, you will probably kill your server, probably lose everything on it permanently, probably not have a website or email for weeks.. So backup all your data FIRST. Also, if you aren't 100% sure you won't run into problems, you should contact your hosts technical support - but be prepared for some MAJOR negativity.. cpanel makes things very easy for hosts, you are just a drop in their bucket.

Wow!

You sure gotta bigger set that *I* do. . . . - for real! I've been known to do some abysmally stupid things in my day - and actually had them work the way I wanted them to! - but this takes the titanium, gadolinium, rhodium alloy cake!

Me, I'd try something like that and find out later that the fire-trucks showed up right after I hit the "Enter" key. It's a REALLY interesting post, and a real eye-opener - especially for someone who is relatively new to the whole web-hosting-service paradigm. I know, no guts, no glory - but THIS is WAY over the top! I'm reading this and thinking "Why not just put a couple of sticks of dynamite under the thing?"

Seriously now, this was an excellent read - and for someone who is just now looking into the whole web-hosting paradigm, it's a real eye-opener. Though I think I'll just tiptoe past this REAL QUIETLY for now. . . . (laughing!)

AskApache Password Protection 4.7 Update in 2 Weeks

I am now about 1 week away from publishing the much-anticipated 4.7 update to the AskApache Password Protection WordPress plugin. It's an upgrade I've been working on for almost 2 years (off and on)! I have been using the new version for quite some time now, and have made a lot of improvements to it, and finally I decided enough users have suffered with the old version. I am very excited for this release, it fixes all known bugs in the older versions, and brings some heavy-duty improvements to all facets of this plugin.. not to mention way better security modules (Lots more COOKIE use) based on code I use with clients.
