The MySQL Server can be started manually from the command line. This can be done on any version of Windows.

To start the mysqld server from the command line, you should start a console window (or “DOS window”) and enter this command:

shell> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqld"

The path to mysqld may vary depending on the install location of MySQL on your system.

You can stop the MySQL server by executing this command:

shell> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqladmin" -u root shutdown

Note:
If the MySQL root user account has a password, you need to invoke mysqladmin with the -p option and supply the password when prompted.

This command invokes the MySQL administrative utility mysqladmin to connect to the server and tell it to shut down. The command connects as the MySQL root user, which is the default administrative account in the MySQL grant system. Note that users in the MySQL grant system are wholly independent from any login users under Windows.

If mysqld doesn’t start, check the error log to see whether the server wrote any messages there to indicate the cause of the problem. The error log is located in the C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\data directory. It is the file with a suffix of .err. You can also try to start the server as mysqld –console; in this case, you may get some useful information on the screen that may help solve the problem.

The last option is to start mysqld with the –standalone and –debug options. In this case, mysqld writes a log file C:\mysqld.trace that should contain the reason why mysqld doesn’t start.

Use mysqld –verbose –help to display all the options that mysqld supports.

Command Line = Life Saver!

Create an .htaccess file in your root directory ( e.g www.example.com/ )

vi .htaccess #(you may have to sudo or su)

Add the following lines in the file .htaccess file…

# Disable Directory Browsing
Options All -Indexes

# Secure access to .htaccess files
<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

Save the file and exit vi (:wq).
You may have to give full access rights to .htaccess!?

chmod 777 .htaccess #(you may have to sudo or su)

Open your favorite browser, go to your www.example.com/wp-admin section then choose

Settings -> Permalinks

and apply your custom structure…

( e.g /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/ )

Save Changes

IMPORTANT
Remove the full access rights from .htaccess!

chmod 644 .htaccess #(you may have to sudo or su)

You are done! Enjoy your wordpress custom permalinks in your preffered language.

I have test it with greek, russian and arabic and worked as a charm!
See an example…

A couple of years ago I started a project by the name of estiatoria.net.
The main goal is to map all the restaurants, taverns etc in Greece!
So… a few days ago I register two more domain names that lead to estiatoria.net.
From now on estiatoria.org & estiatoria.info will lead you to estiatoria.net.

After reading these two articles I had the idea to start a FizzBuzz coding section just for fun (CfF – Coding for Fun).
So today’s FizzBuzz question is…

Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 100. But for multiples of three print “Fizz” instead of the number and for the multiples of five print “Buzz”. For numbers which are multiples of both three and five print “FizzBuzz”.

Below is my solution written in php.

<?php
echo '<h2>Coding For Fun</h2>';
$three = 3;
$five = 5;
$fifteen =15;

for ($i=1; $i<=100; $i++){
	if (($i%$three === 0) && ($i%$five === 0)) {
		echo 'FizzBuzz<br />';
	} elseif ($i%$three === 0) {
		echo 'Fizz<br />';
	} elseif ($i%$five === 0) {
		echo 'Buzz<br />';
	} else {
		echo $i . '<br />';
	}
}

echo '<br />==============<br /><br />';

for ($i=1; $i<=100; $i++){
	if ($i%$fifteen === 0) {
		echo 'FizzBuzz<br />';
	} elseif ($i%$three === 0) {
		echo 'Fizz<br />';
	} elseif ($i%$five === 0) {
		echo 'Buzz<br />';
	} else {
		echo $i . '<br />';
	}
}
?>

Yes… it took me 10 minutes
Can i stand up?!

A few days off and… we are in Nafplion.

Nafplion is located on the Argolic Gulf in the northeast Peloponnese. Most of the old town is on a peninsula jutting into the gulf; this peninsula forms a naturally protected bay that is enhanced by the addition of man-made moles.

See some photos slide-show in Flickr.com.

It feels so good when you are relaxed! I think I must do that more often!

Thanks F.

Reunite Them! “BRING THEM BACK!”
Thousands of pieces of Greek antiquities are hosted in the British Museum. Our campaign does not ask for the return of those.
We ask for the return of the Parthenon Marbles in Greece and the Reunification of the Monument.
We, the users of the Internet obtain power and we are able to mobilize the international public opinion. Our goal can be achieved this way.
Do you believe this is fair? If yes, help this goal come true.
Say your own “BRING THEM BACK!”
