FreeTDS installation directory is not a FreeTDS installation directory

Posted on December 3, 2009

I recently discovered an error whilst trying to (re)install an older PHP version on a client's server. My client required PHP recompiling with MS SQL support. This in turn requires FreeTDS. Installing FreeTDS is very simple, but PHP wasn't.

SEO Friendly URLs for CubeCart in Windows

I have a client hosting CubeCart on a Windows server. Unfortunately the built in Apache 2 mod_rewrite rules that come bundled with CubeCart don't work in IIS/Helicon.

CubeCart Tax Classes on Product Page

Posted on November 25, 2009

A client of mine sells a mix of VAT and VAT exempt products via a CubeCart 4 store I setup.

Although CubeCart allows this and calculates the VAT right on the checkout process, it doesn't have any facility to show the customer which tax class the product falls into on the viewProd page.

Annoying.

Integra AP Racing Big Brake Upgrade

Posted on November 24, 2009

Finally, after months of waiting, my custom AP Racing brake kit arrived.

I had the kit made because there wasn't anything out there that really suited me and my 96 spec. This kit allows me to have 295mm discs, so better than a 98 spec upgrade immediately, wider discs so more heat dispersion, lighter overall and most importantly I can run them under 15" wheels with no spacers. Unfortunately not OEM wheels, so look out for them in the for sale section!

I found an old server at a clients site today that went down during a UPS outage last weekend. It turns out it was last rebooted 645 days ago. What a trooper! It was running Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake).
