Base-hosting plans often don't include database access so simple web tools like Pivot & Blosxom are a godsend.

I suspect I'll be importing and moving my website to Pivot shortly although Blosxom is so simple I'm not sure if I want to learn a whole new 'engine' and templating system . . . ]]> 483@localhost/ blosxom, perl, tech Tue, 03 Apr 2007 12:36:00 +1300 raj http://www.phigmov.co.nz/?e=481 http://www.phigmov.co.nz/?e=481#comm Pauanui beach.

CSS is much trickier to get a handle on than I thought - I can see why templates are so prevalent - designing from scratch is a pain and the tools are not much better than those used at the dawn of the web (ie a text editor). ]]> 482@localhost/ blosxom, perl, tech Sun, 02 Jul 2006 21:41:00 +1300 raj http://www.phigmov.co.nz/?e=484 http://www.phigmov.co.nz/?e=484#comm Reading Room in the right sidebar (note I haven't added my own books in yet - these are just the default ones). ]]> 484@localhost/ blosxom, perl, tech Sun, 13 Nov 2005 17:42:00 +1300 Raj http://www.phigmov.co.nz/?e=487 http://www.phigmov.co.nz/?e=487#comm Sprog.

A quick search of the faq turned up this tidbit on url-hiding.

And I just had to add to my .htaccess file


RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^osxom/?(.*)$ osxom/blosxom.cgi/$1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ blosxom.cgi/$1 [L,QSA]


Whats wierd is that I thought I had this fixed already. ]]> 485@localhost/ blosxom, perl, tech Sun, 28 Aug 2005 09:05:00 +1300 raj http://www.phigmov.co.nz/?e=486 http://www.phigmov.co.nz/?e=486#comm CPAN module installation -

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::libnet'

Will download and install the libnet perl module in the same way as a debian apt-get install or redhat up2date.

Searching CPAN will give you the appropriate module names.

First time you run it you'll need to answer some simple queries but once its setup it seems to work fine.

You can reconfigure the CPAN settings via

perl -MCPAN -e shell

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.59_54)
ReadLine support available (try 'install Bundle::CPAN')
