New Virus On The Loose: Mydoom (medium Risk Alert)
!!blue replied to Nick_'s topic in Security Discussions
Just got one in my .edu e-mail! I have it forward to my yahoo account since I don't check the edu one every day. Interesting.... -
I'll have to implement that across my site. I've noticed that in my (minimal-use-of) php pages, all I could have was the doctype. No <?xml version=... and no <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">. I figured that as long as my pages validated, that they were ok. But if I can add them back in, then cool :Nerd: later, !!blue

Trillian here too! Tho i hate when Yahoo disconnects me sometimes

Andy, thanks so much! I didn't even want to think about having to check which robots I want to block or not. This solution is sooOOOooo much easier. Thanks for the instructions too. Now my question is since I use SSI for my meta tags, can I add the "require-once" code in there? Can the code be as follows: require_once("http://www.mysite.com/path/to/file/security.php"); since the diff files are in diff folders, i'd like to use the entire URL. thanks a mil, !!blue

Robert, I think the PHP script is not working. When I used & ran the MT plug-in, comments were turned off for older entries. But I removed that plug-in and have noticed that the PHP script has not turned off comments for any other entries. Comments are turned on for entries starting Jan 9th to now. But if I count seven days back from today, it should be turned off by Jan 12th or so. How can I troubleshoot? I haven't gotten anything in my email so the script might think it's running correctly. Movable Type did just release an upgrade which I just installed over the weekend and one of the features listed was this: full documentation can be found here Could this have anything to do with the script not working? But it should've been turning off comments before I did the upgrade anyway. I don't know... thanks, !!blue

You might find info here: Plugindoc : Plugin Support for MS Windows or here: Plugindoc : Windows Media Player 7 later, !!blue

At my internship, the company uses Postini to filter all the incoming emails into the company and I *usually* get an email saying "Postini has an email detected as possible spam" or something to that effect. Then I have to log into the Postini account via the browser and give permission to the email. You might want to ask your ISP about whether they use this service also and how you can give "permission" to certain email addresses. hope that helps, !!blue

I decided to go with the php script since it's set to run automatically and I don't have to remember to run it every day. Thanks!! I installed it yesterday and haven't gotten any emails yet. I'll check my entries over the next few days to see if it's working. I've been reading in other blogs of this so-called "comment spam" and other such problems...so I'd rather be safe then sorry. thanks again, !!blue
-
Thanks, but....this is something I have to do manually every day? It works, but I don't wanna have one more thing to add to my list of daily duties. Shoulda known tho, there are prolly plug-ins for everything. later, !!blue

Thanks Robert! All I'd have to do is save it as the same file name of the current script & upload it right? Yet another reason why: Rock Sign I should learn some of these languages; so much easier/lazier to just find free scripts online and use them. Then I couldn't complain when I can't troubleshoot them At least I know where to come for help! thanks, !!blue [edit]i'll save it as you say & go from there[/edit]

Absolute greek to me! Got the following error in my email from the cron job: I've bolded code I removed but I'm positive my databasename, login, and password are correct because I can view it under CPanel > MySQL Account Maintenance and I've re-checked the password. The original perl code is in my first post. So what does this error mean and how do I fix it? thanks, !!blue

I'm glad I contributed to the TCH family!

Hi all, I found some code to run as what I'm assuming is a "cronjob" from How to limit comments.... The code is: > #!/usr/bin/perl use DBI; my $dbname = 'DATABASENAME'; my $hostname = 'localhost'; # Change this if the db is on another box my $dbuser = 'DBUSER'; my $dbpass = 'DBPASS'; $dbh=DBI->connect("dbi:mysql:database=$dbname;host=$hostname", $dbuser, $dbpass); $dbh->do("update mt_entry set entry_allow_comments='0' where entry_created_on < date_sub(NOW(),interval 7 day)"); It disables comments on MT entries more than 7 days old. Can I use this? How do I make this work? Do I have to save it as a certain type of file & upload it to my site? Or do I have to go thru CPanel to implement this? Also, how can I find out my password to the database? I usually use the same ones but I want to find out for sure. thanks, !!blue

yes, I cheat too! Besides using my "Color Index" book I've recently added this link to my faves: Color Scheme I've seen sooOOOooo many color sites out there, but this one, I think, humbles them all. Too many features to list here.... Works even in Mozilla Firebird, I've been to some that only work in IE.

charle97, DargFlare great minds think alike now I'm off to gather more RSS feed links...
-
I feel like such an idiot, but u live & u learn right? I had to change a line in the mt-rssfeed.pl file and I didn't change one thing. Originally I had: my $RSSFEED_DATA_DIR = "/home/server/public_html/mt/db/."; Well, server had to be my website name. D'oh!!! And I did change the permissions on the DB folder after all too. Man, I tried everything; but of course the last thing u try is the last thing that works right before hope jumps out the window thanks everyone, !!blue
-
Yeah, the instructions said to create a folder (db) under my mt folder and the folder is what is giving me that error ... I think... do you think I have to change the permissions on the folder? I don't know. Right now it's 550 (read/execute for User & Group only). thanks, !!blue

Brian, Well, I tried taking on the task on my own cuz at work I get interrupted... a lot. Anyways, I tried following a tutorial from How to Feed and I get one error that is not in the instructions: >MT::App::CMS=HASH(0x8357d94) mt-rssfeed: http://www.movabletype.org/index.xml could not be cached as /home/server/public_html/movabletype/db/rss.httpwwwmovabletypeorgindexxml. at plugins/mt-rssfeed.pl line 394. MT::App::CMS=HASH(0x8357d94) mt-rssfeed: http://www.alistapart.com/rss.xml could not be cached as /home/server/public_html/movabletype/db/rss.httpwwwalistapartcomrssxml. at plugins/mt-rssfeed.pl line 394. it looks like it can't grab the xml code to save it in another file to show it in the html... or something.... absolut greek to me ... any ideas? anyone? thanks, !!blue

I'm always getting excited when I hear about something new (tho RSS is prolly not that new, it's *new* to me). Anyhow, there's so much information online about this that's it's overkill. Can someone tell me how I can create a page on my blog that will have RSS headlines from various sites? I know that you can click on the XML button on a certain site if they offer RSS feeds, but.. well, do I just copy & paste that code into a new page? What would that page be saved as? How would it be automatically updated if I copied & pasted? it's prolly easier than I think it it, there more info online on how to create your own RSS feed then how to include one or more into a page. thanks a mil, !!blue

I've always used MemTurbo, it's along the sames lines. MemTurbo is here I always run it right after I close big apps like Illustrator or Dreamweaver on my measly laptop.

Ok, I've done the index and the archives file and added the new lines to the .htaccess file: AddType text/html .shtml AddHandler server-parsed .shtml now i got some advice fr a good friend o mine that said I can add the following similar lines: AddType text/html .shtml AddHandler server-parsed .shtml and edit my other MT templates with the #include tags and they will parse correctly; and even if there are other html files that don't have any SSI code, they will show up correctly too. Before I start going off editing files & such, any ideas? is he right? and did I have too much coffee already? woooot thanks, !!blue [edit] charle97: thanks for replying on the mt support forum too! and I went ahead and added the above code to my .htaccess file and it worked double woooot !
