While working on an OSCommerce store development, we came across need to get Ids of all sub categories within a category.

In OSCommerce categories and their parent have infinite level of possible hierarchy.

Following is the definition of categories table fo OSCommerce:

/*Column Information For - osc.categories*/
-------------------------------------------

Field             Type         Collation          Null    Key     Default 
----------------  -----------  -----------------  ------  ------  ------- 
categories_id     int(11)      (NULL)             NO      PRI     (NULL)  
categories_image  varchar(64)  latin1_swedish_ci  YES             (NULL)
parent_id         int(11)      (NULL)             NO      MUL     0
sort_order        int(3)       (NULL)             YES             (NULL)
date_added        datetime     (NULL)             YES             (NULL)
last_modified     datetime     (NULL)             YES             (NULL)

Now for a category I need all child subcategories, sub-sub categories and so on…

We developed following code that work like charm:

function get_cats($cat)
{
$i=1;
$remain=array();
$all=array();

/* Note: write your mysql connection stuff here or above it somewhere. */

$remain[0]=$cat;
$all[0]=$cat;

while(sizeof($remain)>0)
{
$curr=$remain[0];

$res=mysql_query("select * from categories where parent_id=$curr");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($res))
{
$all[$i++]=$row['categories_id'];
$remain[sizeof($remain)]=$row['categories_id'];

}
unset($remain[0]);
$remain=array_values($remain);
}
return $all;
}

You can use it by passing a category id whose all children’s ids are needed, like:

$all_categories=array();
$all_categories=get_cats(73);

Above code fragment will give you all categories that come under category number 73, irrespective of their immediate parent.

I hope it would be useful for many people, so posting it here.

It is easier to purchase a good bare born VPS, as there are many quality providers who just have to provide hardware resources.

Pain of software is minimized since they sell plain VPS.

Now it is upto the VPS buyer how he wants to take care of own end-customers.

One of the most important things to do on these VPS is regular backup facility.

You should strive for a remote backup. If that’s not possible, backup on mounted disk within same DC is also ok, if not ideal.

Next thing to think about: how do you determine which data to include in your backup?

I am going to propose a basic strategy that works for most Linux hosting customers.

In most of the cases, you should take backup of the mysql database and home directory of the customers.

Later job is easy to do: you can tar home directories and ftp to remote storage.

Now, how to perform mysql DB backup?

There is a very efficient method of doing this: AutoMySQLBackup

This utility works beautifully.

It is easy to install, and easy to configure.

You can create daily, weekly and monthly backup, and cycle them.

Following parameters are important ones which you should edit after installing AutoMySQLBackup.

CONFIG_mysql_dump_username

You should set it to “root” if you want to take backup of entire mysql storage. It stores all database in separate sql file, so easy to restore.

CONFIG_mysql_dump_password
Password of above mentioned user.

CONFIG_do_monthly
Set it to 0 if you want to retain daily or weekly backups.

CONFIG_rotation_daily
Set rotation policy

CONFIG_mail_addres

Email Id where result of backup should be sent. I could not manage this parameter to work.

CONFIG_dryrun
This parameter is very important. It allows you to perform a dry run to capture errors and fox them before actual run.

After taking backup through this program, you can ftp/rsync the backed-up database to your backup storage.

A few commands that will be useful to take backup of your Linux VPS:

#tar -czf  /backup/home.tar.gz /home

Above command takes backup of whole home directory. You may chose to make tarballs of individual customers as well.

#rsync -avz -e ssh <source directory>user@host:<remote directory>

You will have to set ssh trust keys for rsync to work in this manner.

I have setup remote backup of a few VPS this morning, each of them took 10-15 minutes on average.

In this article we shall learn how to change timezone of your bareborn VPS.

It is assumed, though not necessary, that you have already installed a hosting panel like Kloxo or Virtualmin.

Changing timezone in OpenVZ

The file /etc/localtime is the one which holds information of server’s timezone.

We shall point it to the correct zone file by creating a soft link.

Run following commands:

# cd /etc


#mv localtime localtime.bak

#ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Calcutta localtime

#reboot

Changing timezone in Xen

When I tried to change timezone in Xen, it chnage dtimezone but did not update time accordingly after reboot.

So, I did following:

1. Chnaged timezone using steps mentioned above for OpenVZ

2. Run following command

echo 1 > /proc/sys/xen/independent_wallclock

3. Installed ntp

# yum install ntp

4. Turned on service

# chkconfig ntpd on

5. Synchronized the system clock with 0.pool.ntp.org server:

# ntpdate pool.ntp.org

6. Started the NTP:

# /etc/init.d/ntpd start

7. Reboot the VPS

#reboot

Now you will notice that after rebooting the VPS it again shows wrong time.

Actually you have to set the independent clock every time you reboot the server. To do this, put following lines in /etc/rc.local

service ntpd stop
echo 1 > /proc/sys/xen/independent_wallclock
ntpdate pool.ntp.org
service ntpd start

You would now get correct timezone and correct time every time you reboot your Xen VPS.

Cpanel has been consistently outeprforming rival products when it comes to off the shelf solution for hosting that actually works.

Other paid and free panels have been trying to catch up but users just love Cpanel (and WHM if that needs to be mentioned separately, I think it does not).

Lately, Kloxo panel caught my attention for ease of installtion, easy to configure and being very user friendly.

It might need a bit of extra work compared to Cpanel, but it has becone one of our favourite at this time.

We would start to offer Kloxo accounts to the customer at further discounted rates pretty soon.

For any host we suggest to give Kloxo a try.

We have been encouraging open source movement, which is another good reason why want to promote it.

Dear Customers,
As you know we provide Java web application support in our Windows hosting plans.
Many customers asked how to deploy a Tomcat web application war file.
For convenience of all such users, we are providing step by step guide to deploying Java applications in latest version of Plesk panel which is available with us.

You can install Java Web application packages in the Web archive format (WAR).

To install a Java Web application:

1. Go to Plesk Home > Applications and services > Web applications > Java Applications .

1. Click Install New Application.
2. Specify the path to an application package you wish to install (this can be an application package in WAR format saved on your computer’s hard drive), or click Browse to navigate to it, then click OK.

Now the application is installed and the respective entry is added to the list of installed Java applications (Plesk Home > Applications and services > Web applications > Java Applications).

To access the web interface of a Java Web application, do any of the following:

• Go to Plesk Home > Applications and services > Web applications > Java Applications, and click a respective hyperlink in the Path column.
• Type the URL in your browser. For example: http://your-domain.com/storefront/.

To stop, start or restart a Java Web application:

1. Go to Plesk Home > Applications and services > Web applications > Java Applications. A list of installed applications will open.
2. Locate an application on the list, and use the icons in the right part of the list to perform the required operations:

• To start an application, click the icon .
• To stop an application, click the icon .
• To restart an application, click the icon .

To uninstall a Java Web application:

1. Go to Plesk Home > Applications and services > Web applications > Java Applications.
2. Select a check box corresponding to the application that you no longer need. Click Remove, confirm the removal and click OK.

The application will be uninstalled and its databases removed from the server.
