For years I have been a big fan of the AutoIndex PHP Script written by Justin Hagstrom. This is a powerful website directory indexer and file manager. I primarily use it to manage download directories. The problem is that Mr. Hagstrom has not updated this script since 2007. It is not natively responsive for small screens. Since most browsing is done on cell phones or tablets these days, I created a simple Bootstrap 3 responsive template to solve this problem. I also created a mod to change the format of the Search box in AutoIndex. I think there are other AutoIndex users that might benefit from this template and mod, so I am sharing them in this post.

Don’t Forget About SELinux
Recently we decided to move some of our web applications, as well as this blog, to a new cloud server provided by DreamHost.com and their new DreamCompute OpenStack cluster in Virginia. Starting with a minimal install of CentOS7, we built a fairly standard LAMP server. Once we got the new server stable, we moved the apps over. The web apps hosted on our new server are GeekGlossary.com and jobs.beausanders.org. For the sake of this post, you need to know both of these apps have similar backup routines and logging functions.

How to Perk Up Your Sluggish Nexus 7 Tablet – Wipe the Cache Partition
My Nexus 7 tablet is about three years old. Like a good Google disciple, I’ve been diligently updating my Nexus 7 whenever a new system update came along. My little tablet worked fine running Android 4.4 (KitKat). Then around the end of 2014 Google pushed out Android 5 (Lollipop). I was really excited at first. However, after a very short time I realized things had changed drastically on my Nexus 7. I had to reboot almost everyday just to get it to do anything. My tablet was very sluggish…almost unuseable. I hate the new email client too. So the result is, I have not been using my Nexus 7, which has me shopping for a new Samsung table (that’s another story).

How To Uninstall, Disable, and Remove NetworkManager from RHEL6 and CentOS6
The default install of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL6 and CentOS6) automatically includes the NetworkManager service which was optional in previous versions. The purpose for NetworkManager is to make RHEL6 more portable which is great for a notebook computer or perhaps a desktop. Portability is not a major concern for a server. Usually servers are fairly fixed and configuration of network settings is done statically using manual tools. NetworkManager also does not support many advanced networking features like IP forwarding. Continue reading “How To Uninstall, Disable, and Remove NetworkManager from RHEL6 and CentOS6“
