It took me a few goes as I’m still bumbling my way through Plesk, so I thought I’d share my successful attempt.  Remember to replace <your domain> with, er, your domain…

1. Open/create vhost.conf:

   vim /var/www/vhosts/<your domain>/conf/vhost.conf

2. Add the following rules:

   <Directory /var/www/vhosts/<your domain>/httpdocs>
   <IfModule sapi_apache2.c>
   php_admin_value open_basedir "/var/www/vhosts/about-australia.com/httpdocs:/tmp:<directory to open>"
   </IfModule>
   <IfModule mod_php5.c>
   php_admin_value open_basedir "/var/www/vhosts/about-australia.com/httpdocs:/tmp:<directory to open>"
   </IfModule>
   </Directory>

3. Reload configuration and restart httpd via Plesk:

   /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng --vhost-name=<your domain> -v -r

Hope it works for you…

Congratulations, you just saved yourself 7 seconds!  Go reward yourself with a satisfying w… sorry, time’s up.

Take for example, Gob’s Program

I found the easiest way to deal with it is to use the PHP function wordwrap(), eg.

$someHtml = wordwrap($someHtml, 996);
mail(“someone@somewhere.com”, “My subject”, $someHtml, “MIME-Version: 1.0;\nContent-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1;\nFrom: someone@somewhere.com\n”);

I discovered this while I was tidying up some of the email templates for a web application at my work.  There’s a long list of defects perpetrated by previous contributors, and I was tearing my hair out trying to work out why the content of a random table cell refused to center.  So now I have a greater appreciation for HTML email template designers, or maybe I just feel sorry for them…

mod_php5.c:22: php_apache_http.h: No such file or directory

1.3.33 is almost 3 years old now, and after trawling endless mailing lists and way to many./configure attempts, I gave up for long enough to make a late afternoon coffee, read a few inspiring quotes, and kept trying… Eventually I managed to get it to compile and render PHP pages with the following:

./configure \
--activate-module=src/modules/php5/libphp5.a \
<add your switches here>

The clincher was adding the correct source file reference, as I’d previously tried ’src/modules/php5/libmodphp5.a’, or just ’src/modules/php5′, none of which worked.  If you found this helpful please let me know, because until then this is just 5 minutes of my life wasted…

It seems to me that it’s 99% eye candy, but the 1% usability could grow exponentially if it gains traction with heavy web-surfers and webmasters start PicLens-enabling their own resource portals.  I’m already reading up on the requirements and pondering the possibilities for a web services consumption I’m prototyping at the moment…  I’ve been trying to work out what the technology is behind the app, maybe someone else can enlighten me?  My first thought was Flex, but I’m not so sure now…  Other sites say native code, but I’d like to know more.

Could this be the coolest Firefox addon released so far? Definitely gets my vote!
