Lighty Development is not (!) dead

November 19th, 2008 admin No comments

I thought it was. The forum was long abandoned. Just now i was looking for a problem i’m having with high-load combined with enabled xcache and found out they’ve changed from trac to redmine (have to try!). Here is the new development site.

On this happy note, i now think i could be changing soon to lighttpd 1.5.0svn. Let’s see. Maybe even try an svn-version of xcache?? Any thoughts about such a transition? I know there are quite some sites already running 1.5.0, but as long as i didn’t see progress on the site of lighttpd i was too afraid, that i wouldn’t get any support if i changed to the unstable version.

How lenses are produced

This is a rather old video from the Discovery Channel explaining how lenses are being manufactured. Actually i was looking for details about the geometry machining and how the exact geometry is secured.

Gengo und Wordpress 2.7

November 17th, 2008 admin 1 comment

Ich hatte Probleme damit, Gengo und Wordpress 2.7 gemeinsam zum Laufen zu bringen und die Option zum Anhängen von Sprachkürzeln in Gengo zu aktivieren (Gengo should append language codes to permalinks automatically.), da Gengo in eine Endlos-Weiterleitungsschleife ging. Ich dachte schon, das wäre eine grundsätzliche unverträglichkeit zwischen den beiden und schaltete deswegen diese Option aus, was dazu führte, dass sämtliche Links nicht mehr funktionierten. Joshreisner schlägt dagegen im Forum auf wordpress.org vor, die Permalink-Strukturen neu zu speichern.

Und tatsächlich geht man auf Einstellungen>Permalinks und speichert einfach die bereits gespeicherte Permalink-Struktur neu, dann geht das Problem der Endlosschleifen weg! Es hat wahrscheinlich damit zu tun, dass Gengo beim Speichern der Permalinks selbst eine Aktion durchführt.

Gengo and Wordpress 2.7

November 17th, 2008 admin 3 comments

I had an issue with gengo getting into an endless redirect loop once i activate the option “Gengo should append language codes to permalinks automatically.”. I thought this was an issue of gengo-compatibility and deactivated the option making many links unusable. Now i just found this thread over at wordpress.org where joshreisner suggests simply saving the permalink structure again:

i just upgraded to 2.6.1 using the automatic updater and it caused a redirect loop on my site. whenever i would visit it it would be like “the address /en/en/en/en/en/en/en etc was in a repeat loop that would never be resolved”

i pulled my hair out for a minute but then figured it out. just go to the permalinks settings page (in wp, not gengo) and hit save. no change, just save. that fixed the problem!

Thanks. This works. It seems gengo uses some action that is being pulled once the permalink structure is saved..
