You need to update the INI file as the MySQL database will need somewhere to store new data(Sessions, logons, etc) - so what Ampstart actually does is copy the MySQL database over to a directory you specify on the PC and runs from there. As an alternative, use a USB drive, you can get 1G drives fairly cheaply and then you will have read/write access to the drive and no need to depend on the directory existing. I imagine a more involved solution would be to run MySQL and have it place all the tables in memory, so any updates will be done to the memory versions and when you stop the program running it reverts to the default set and does not require a directory on the hd to store data.

So they have to be stored somewhere editable, and you need to a method of preloading them with existing data. Not that it would be hard to setup, I just don't know offhand what is involved. Of course, that begs the question of whether or not it is a good idea to tie up a largish chunk of memory on tables. I suppose it depends on what the reason for doing a CD Version is. But I do like the idea of having a USB version. Especially as I got 3 1G USB drives when I only needed 2(I want to setup a couple of linux installs for my wifes laptop and my home system so I can swap to linux and get used to it before making the major install. I was thinking of using the 3rd one as a data drive to share between the 2 systems, no reason I can't throw XAMP on it as well.)

That solves my problem. Typically the reason to run a server off a CD (live cd) is for security reasons. Basically since it is a "read only" media it is harder to compromise than a system with the OS on a hard drive. Putting it on a USB drive would compromise that advantage. If the site is broken into there is a limit to what can be changed. If you put it on a writable media, more can be changed. The only other reason I could see for running off a live cd is for demo purposes. You do still need to think about security. Just because you can produce a working XP live cd does not mean that it is secure. There are some issues with using Joomla this way. As the last poster pointed out, you would need space for your database to store information. On Content Management Systems like Jumla all the content is stored by default in the database. That means that if your site is compromised, the site can still be defaced. It means that you can easily restore the system by wiping out the database, but you would loose all your content. You would still have your skin and your basic site, but it would be like restoring your site to it's initial condition. You would loose any content added after the CD was burned. If your reason of a "live cd" is security, and it is going to run only or mainly a Joomla website, why not use a Linux live CD? There is more expertise available to make a secure site that runs Linux from a CD. Joomla is the same and once the site was running you would need little or no Linux specific knowledge to run it. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

There's a part of my presentation on Thursday that discusses this need, especially regarding Joomla User Groups (JUGs?) and the need to share resources to make it as easy as possible to manage your own JUG. Anywhoo, I'd like to keep it in the presentation and discuss then, hopefully I can have an announcement or two as I'm still putting things together...

Like memcache, Sphinx search is for the more medium level of Joomla user - you can't run these types of apps on a shared hosting environment, but require a dedicated/virtual server to run them on - but it looked like an interesting project to try.

If you really want search on your site, and it is a high-traffic site or just has really high-falutin' requirements, then Sphinx is for you. Very, very impressive. I'd love to see some sort of joomla<->sphinx integration, that one might be worth creating a project for on JoomlaCode. To be honest though I'm not sure how you would integrate the two, as they are quite separate and distinct beasts ;-) I'll look at it over here and try to come up with some ideas. -- Mitch From mitch.pirtle at gmail.com Fri Sep 21 16:04:21 2007 From: mitch.pirtle at gmail.com (Mitch Pirtle) Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2007 16:04:21 -0400 Subject: [joomla] Thanks for having me last night Message-ID: <330532b60709211304q17a940bfyfbe2a1eebbee0738@mail.gmail.com> Hi everyone, Thanks for having me as the inaugural guineapig(ahem!)

The default searches are really really bad(price fields can be searched for EXACT price, not ranges). So I started looking at how to make that advanced search mode a bit more friendly, when I ran across Sphinx and looking at it, it has every advanced search function I would want. Since all you need from your search result is an id number and the component it is in, it seems to me Sphinx could be easily integrated with a server side search, so the server checks the Sphinx system based on the parms, and returns a bunch of data, than back to the Joomla MVC component to format the display of the data. I have a good idea of how to integrate my component with Sphinx. And I see how to do the Joomla content component. The big problem I was looking at was how to make it painless to integrate everything else? Something that would take all the search Plugins installed for each component, and build out the Sphinx index(though worst case, I think that can be handled just by saying "hey, here is a neat tool if you want to write yet ANOTHER search module") The only downside I saw with it was requiring a server to run the daemon on(yeah, I'm a shared hosting guy. I just don't have the time to deal with the hassle of setting up, configuring, and securing a server these days. Other than periodic refreshes on my MythTV/router I don't worry about it much.)

Making sure it is secure, periodically checking logs or whatever your preferred method to track security incursions, installing and configuring a web server, installing PHP & Perl along with a basic web server configuration. It's not so much time consuming, once your doing it, as time consuming to get your head(or at least my head) into the mode of remembering all this stuff, building a baseline system, yadda yadda yadda.

I was not aware that Kannel supports US mobile handsets. One of the projects I'm exploring is a solar powered weather station which sends the raw weather data to an internet connected server. We have a site at the top of the mountain for the weather sensors and the server is over a mile away at the bottom. I was considering long range wifi or a ham radio, but if we used a mobile phone, we could do away with the server at the base of the mountain (which has flaky DSL connectivity). If you simply want to send SMS and MMS, most carriers in the US allow you to send data to phones via their own email->gateways ( @vtext.com, @tmomail.net) About 5 years ago, I wrote a php function which would accept a phone number and submit to all the major carrier gateways (since we don't know which carrier to use based only on the number). ~Rolan From bz-gmort at beezifies.com Tue Sep 25 14:32:17 2007 From: bz-gmort at beezifies.com (Gary Mort) Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2007 14:32:17 -0400 Subject: [joomla] Joomla SIG Message-ID: <46F95431.30204@beezifies.com> At the last meeting, we raised the issue of the meeting time as there were some unable to make the third thursday of the month. As such, we decided on moving the meeting permanently to the second thursday of the month. This means out next meeting will be on October 11th.

We will be setting up a website and an RSVP form over the weekend, for now you can simply email me your RSVP and I'll manually add you to the list. Schedule: Our last meeting was a long presentation about Joomla in general. So this time around, I'd like to aim to have a number of quick presentations and we can alternate meetings going forward(big presentations followed by short presentations, etc). We will aim for 4 small presentations, with the first 2 being geared for a more user level, and the last 2 for developers. Anyone who willing to do a short 15-20 minute presentation, please contact me. Therefore, our schedule will be: Session 1: 6:00-6:20 - Community Builder, what it is and what it is not Session 2: 6:20-6:40 JUG/SIG Planning: 6:45-7:15. To discuss: Community Website plans and needs Community Projects Session 3: 7:20-7:40 Session 4: 7:40-8:00 Presentations: At the last meeting, I noticed some discussions on building a "community" website, and the component that get's mentioned frequently is Community Builder. Community Builder, by itself, doesn't provide much in the way of "community" features, but it is a strong basis for such websites. So I'd like to do a brief review of the features of CB to begin with, along with thoughts on what it allows you to do as far as community websites are concerned.

We will aim for 4 small presentations, with the first 2 being geared for a more user level, and the last 2 for developers. Anyone who willing to do a short 15-20 minute presentation, please contact me. Therefore, our schedule will be: Session 1: 6:00-6:20 - Community Builder, what it is and what it is not Session 2: 6:20-6:40 JUG/SIG Planning: 6:45-7:15. To discuss: Community Website plans and needs Community Projects Session 3: 7:20-7:40 Session 4: 7:40-8:00 Presentations: At the last meeting, I noticed some discussions on building a "community" website, and the component that get's mentioned frequently is Community Builder. Community Builder, by itself, doesn't provide much in the way of "community" features, but it is a strong basis for such websites. So I'd like to do a brief review of the features of CB to begin with, along with thoughts on what it allows you to do as far as community websites are concerned. _______________________________________________ New York PHP SIG: Joomla!

There is also a good article by Ohio State http://webgarden.osu.edu/buckeye2007.pdf They used Joomla to build up their community site. A forum(fireboard?) -YES A notification list(yanc?) - YES An event calendar(???) - YES An RSVP system for signing up for meetings(???) -YES A PMS system of some sort - Don't these things bug out on a monthly basis? ;P Mos Def put some tutorials up or at least some good feeds. How bout job postings and member dir for prof networking? Maybe a cart for purchasing training events even if $0 (be nice to have some free training events hosted by volunteers). I'm biased to training b/c I'm in eLearning. speaking of which Colin Moock is giving a FREE, that's right FREE training on AS3 http://www.adobeas3tour.com/ joomla-request at lists.nyphp.org wrote: Send joomla mailing list submissions to joomla at lists.nyphp.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/joomla or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to joomla-request at lists.nyphp.org You can reach the person managing the list at joomla-owner at lists.nyphp.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of joomla digest..."

Off the top of my head, we should have: A forum(fireboard?) A notification list(yanc?) An event calendar(???) An RSVP system for signing up for meetings(???) A PMS system of some sort Whatever we use should work under legacy mode on 1.5 at the least, and perhaps for our first few projects if we use GPL components we could upgrade them to the 1.5 model. So any thoughts on the best/simplest modules to meet these needs? ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ joomla mailing list joomla at lists.nyphp.org http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/joomla End of joomla Digest, Vol 9, Issue 11 ************************************* Sachiko Goodyear Director of Technology-based Learning Goodyear Learning, LLC http://www.goodyearlearning.com ph: 201-349-5862 --------------------------------- Boardwalk for $500?
