• How To Turn Off open_basedir Restriction For a Specific Domain in Plesk

  I just spent way too much time this afternoon trying to get this simple task figured out and thought I would post this to help anyone else who needs to edit the open base directory value for a specific domain on a LAMP server. I found out that I was barking up the wrong tree trying to do by editing httpd.conf, php.ini or .httaccess files. vhost.conf is the answer!

  1) Steer yourself to: /var/www/vhosts/yourdomain.com/conf/
  cd /var/www/vhosts/yourdomain.com/conf/
  2) Create a new file: vhost.conf
  vi vhost.conf
  3) This goes inside that new vhost.conf file:
  <Directory /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs>
  php_admin_value open_basedir none
  </Directory>
  4) Save and close the file:
  crtl +C
  :wq
  5) Execute the following command so the changes take hold:
  /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/websrvmng -v -a
  /etc/init.d/httpd configtest
  6) If you get Syntax OK, you’re good to go, restart Apache:
  /etc/init.d/httpd restart

  No more annoying restrictions.

• Fix Your Face: Twitter for Music Marketing

  This is what Twitter can be. Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker and turntablist DJ-AM (Adam Goldstein) are offering a free download of their mix-tape in exchange for a Tweet plug. It’s a simple concept, first visit this page: http://twitter.trvsdjam.com , using OAuth the site will prompt you to tweet the following message to your account: “Download the new #trvsdjam mixtape “Fix Your Face Vol. 2 – Coachella 09″ in exchange for one tweet!”, then you’ll be granted access to download the songs. The mix didn’t change my life but I was happy to take part in the experiment. Nicely done Culture Jam Labs!

• YouTube Downloader: Farkie

  Oh I like this – Farkie is an easy to use, web-based media downloader: IE: YouTube videos, MySpace content, etc. To date, it’s the best one I’ve used. Let’s see how quickly Google and MySpace crack down on this, in the mean time, enjoy!
