I fixed up the lua script that provides "clean" urls for drupal on lighty.

Heres the relevant lighttpd.conf section

$HTTP["host"] == "jlporter.com"{ server.document-root = var.basedir+"/blah/"
index-file.names = ( "index.php" )
magnet.attract-physical-path-to = ( "/etc/lighttpd/rewrite_drupal2.lua" )
}

rewrite_drupal2.lua originally obtained from: http://pixel.global-banlist.de/drupal.lua and linked from the lighty wiki: http://redmine.lighttpd.net/wiki/lighttpd
section 3 #26

Between 2 virtual machines running, a shell script that converts images, and many other things going on; I keep a machine pretty busy.

Works well with plenty of ram and vdi on separate drive. Guest additions are recommended as well as bridged networking.

My workstation is pretty sweet! I have dual displays on a machine with a core 2 duo, 2gb ram, and 10,000 rpm 74Gb drive.

I setup vmware workstation and was really impressed with the unify feature. See the screen shot that I have attached for more info.

To get firehol working I needed to add the netfilter modules or compile them into the kernel. I choose to compile them into the kernel since I was upgrading my kernel to 2.6.27.9

The next overall step is to setup your /etc/firehol/firehol.conf file.

Mine goes something like this:

version 5
lan_ips="192.168.1.0/24"

interface eth1 lan
policy reject
server "icmp ssh dhcp dns http" accept
client all accept

interface eth0 internet
server "http ssh" accept
client all accept

router home2internet inface eth1 outface eth0

dhcpd.conf in /etc/dhcp

for a typical lan setup you can use something like this

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.15 192.168.1.35;
option routers 192.168.1.1;
}

option domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220;

To whom it may concern:

I am resigning from my post as Web Developer and Online Production Coordinator II at The Tennessean - Gannett. This is effective Friday December 19 2008.

I appreciate the opportunities provided to me with this organization. I welcome future opportunities with Gannett and would be happy to help their internet based news and information revolution.

Sincerely,

Jim Porter

I fixed this on my machine at home but I no longer remember how I did it.

unmerge ss and com_err
then unmerge e2fsprogs

e2fsprogs-libs will then be able to be updated

should probably run a reverse dependancy check.
