Vivek Sharma's questions

I have run the following command, from inside of these log folders. But it looks like each folder will take infinite time.

find . -type f -exec rm -v {} \;

rwxrwxr-x  2 root     root      77881344 Mar 16 03:06 logs.123

Any suggestion better and faster than this to remove all these logs?

• I have installed drupal on my localmachine(ubuntu, Xampp), at localhost.
• Path and Pathauto modules are active (a module to produce friendly URLs).

Migrating/Pushing my local install to the www.mysite.com

• Exported SQL from phpMyadmin(localhost).
• Made a new DB at live site (I think a different name from the localhost-DB does not create any problem).
• Imported SQL into phpMyadmin, (mysite).
• Changed the username-password-DBname in the sites/default/settings.php in drupal folder.
• Now, uploaded the drupal folder and all its content into the /www of the "mysite.com".

Visited the URL www.mysite.com, site looks same as on my localhost, good.

But --

1. I made a tryPage on my localhost/drupal, for which pathauto(cleanURL) recommended the URL "content/trypage" which i explicitly changed to "trypage", so that absolute link to the page is "localhost/drupal/trypage" and not "localhost/drupal/content/trypage".
   Now When i click the trypage link on the mysite, it open's it in-reference to my localhost, my local-pages are opened. That is, when I click newpage on the mysite.com, the URL requested is "localhost/drupal/newpage" and not "www.mysite.com/newpage".

   Do you think it is coz of the SEO friendly URL generation issue, the Pathauto module.

   Anyways how do i solve this
   If I make my "localhost/drupal" to open from same URL (mysite.com), i dont know how to do that exactly, i think by configuring vhosts. But if i do that, then the URL www.mysite.com where will it take me, local or online.

2. Now If i add new modules, new content, new pages, and new books on my localhost site, and wish to update mysite.com, do i have to redo SQL export/import everytime, and use a software like rsync/sitecopy(), to upload the folders on the live site. How do i solve this.

I had my personal site at freehostia and now i have shifted to some other server. It has been close to a week, and ofcourse as the NameServers changed for the new host, i made the required changes with domain-register-company, for my domain.

Now when i try open to my site, at times it open the new hosted-site, at times it open the 404 page on the old site.

I think 1 week, say even 4 days is a lot of time for DNS propagation to happen. Is this a strange behaviour.

When i open the site from the IP address it opens, but when i open the site with a domain-name, at times it open, and at times it doesnot. Any clue?

I tried with two of my friends, who have never visited my site, so no dns cache on his machine, it opened for one, and didnot open for the other. thanks

I donot understand what is this 25%, why is it not 100% or 50%
dns1.freehostia.com and dns2.freehostia.com were old servers. ns1.softuff.com and ns2.softuff.com are new servers.

1. I have create a local directory, and made some sub-directories and file in it.
2. registered by project on code.google.com/hosting
3. install Mercurial and did hg init
4. copied the auto-generated password from Google, still don't know for what.

Now how do i upload files my local to the repository on Google. Tired googling a lot, almost all the information is available for SVN users.

Do i have to create a branch on mercurial first. I am sorry if it is too silly, but how do I create one, the site does say anything create or upload or add.

Can anyone please share, how he started/uploaded his project?

I am building a personal site, for blog i wish to use wordpress and for a wiki i will use wikia. Is it possible that i use the same database for storing articles from both the frontends (wordpress and wiki). If yes can i some how populate articles from my wiki to the blog, under a specific category.

EDIT - I actually want that, my blog and wiki, both can populate same articles. I am a systems developer, I donot know how to explain you in MySQL/PHP technical terms.

I am building a site for some tutorial material. I intend to use a wiki platform. DokuWiki and MediaWiki are very heavy, I have shortlisted two platforms - Boltwire - LionWiki I basically would like to have a user management based access control, so that only recommended users can edit the pages.

Anyone with any suggestions.

a Request -- Can anyone of you, probably experienced users, spend five minutes to check Blotwire and lionwiki. If it is possible. thanks.
