Install ArchLinux freezes at 2nd POST screen

I ended up using flashnul, it seemed like it worked, there were no errors.

So I plug the flash drive into the box, attempt to boot from the flash drive. It gets to the end of the 2nd POST screen and all I get is...

GRUB _ (blinking cursor)

I made sure the flash drive was the priority drive, 1st in boot order and booted from it. Pretty sure theres nothing else forcing it to use the other hard drive.

Anybody ever have this happen?

The HDD has a half-ass install of windows on it, but I didnt think that would cause any problems. I tried loading GParted, but the CD drive on this computer is kind of old and it couldnt load it.]]>

Command to segregate files by first letter

joebert — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:47:11 -0800

code:

mkdir _a
mv a* _a/
mv _a/ a/

Even if I recall the last commands I used for each letter its still a hassle though.

It would be nice to have a BASH script I could call something like this instead,

code:

segregate /path/to/directory

Quick Way To Test SuPHP?

Azoundria — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 17:23:21 -0700

So I HAVE searched Google for this, and it should be very easy.

All I want to be able to do is build a PHP file that tests if SuPHP is enabled on a server. Ive searched the entirity of PHP.net for SuPHP, and so Im sure theres no easy function there. And then I looked all over the PHPInfo configurations of servers with and without SuPHP, and no luck there.

So, does anyone know, how I can find out if a server is running with SuPHP, or not? Id prefer a solution which doesnt involve creating a test file of 777 permissions, or a new directory with a htaccess that has PHP directives, if possible. Id like to just upload and view a PHP script to get the answer.

Thanks for your help.]]>
