A problem we dealt with that we very much hope no one else ever sees: a brand new virtual private server install, CentOS, Apache, PHP5, and Webmin, and everything worked except our Drupal site, which came up completely blank.

I am getting a seg fault when I try and run. this line is showing up in the apache error log

'exit signal Segmentation fault (11)'

anyone familiar with this?

here are some drupal notes:

The Vi (and its successor Vim, for Vi improved) text editor for Unix, GNU-Linux, and Mac OS X systems is a way to edit text files, including configuration, PHP, or HTML documents, through the command line interface. This includes, of course, using SSH to connect to a server.

To use it with even a minimum of efficiency, though, you need to know a fair number of its cheat codes– err, keyboard shortcuts.

These are resources the Agaric Designe Collective found useful (when we started out, now of course we can type sonnets and ASCII art on the command line in our sleep).

From the Agaric sysadmin:

On the command line, in the directory of the file you want to send:

ftp
open
(enter username + password)
bin
(navigate to the destination directory using cd )
put
quit (or exit)

That's all.

(Don't think this works if FTP isn't set up yet, though. May be a pure SSH way?)

Social Capital Inc. president David Crowley described the site this way:

a new community website with a searchable, customizable database of community services in Dorchester; blogging tools for individuals and organizations; a calendar of events; and an open space to post anything to have to do with Dorchester--maybe your favorite restaurant or tip for avoiding Dot Ave traffic.

The Devel module (meaning development or developer, but just Devel) has the secret (that is, not well documented) ability to let you run PHP code directly, within the Drupal system, without first creating a node or a page to wrap it.

The textarea box for running code once you enable the Devel module (and give yourself permissions if not logged in as user 1) appears at the bottom of every page.

This can be useful for quickly using code snippets such as Agaric Design's Update Taxonomy Terms code snippet.
