Symfony team released version 1.1.1  of the Symfony framework a few hours ago. This release contains a few important fixes, that could eventually block your development ( session regeneration when using db backend to store sessions ). Here’s the more important stuff :

• The symfony available database based session storage backends are now able to handle session id regeneration,
• Some Propel related tasks failed with a “No connection params set for propel” error message because they didn’t initialize the database manager. We’ve fixed this too.
• The cache now works as expected for component,
• The sfYaml dumper can now dump ordered hashes,
• Plugin Model classes overriding now works in every case,
• … and of course more tests, documentation enhancement and a lot of little bug fixes.

You can read the announcement here and review the full changelog here. Happy coding !

The symfony team did it again ! Around a month after releasing 1.1 their homepage gets pipmed up with the brand new Plugins Section .

A couple a weeks ago, me and a friend decided to start a project, centered around a website. It would be small at first, and it will grow eventually. So we sat down and started talking. We talked alot, both of us had ideas he shared - about how he visions this and that. It was all cool the first day. The second day, we got more ideas. And i got lost. Honestly. So i started looking for some tool to arrange my thoughts, ideas and todos.

After my post ( which was a response to a post in the symfony forums : http://www.symfony-project.org/forum/index.php/t/9622/ ), triparts came up with a different and probably - easier solution : securing the modules with empty permission sets. Like this :

security.yml

all:
is_secure: on

index:
credentials: []

I have not tested this solution, so if anyone else gets back with some feedback it would be nice

Note : This post assumes you have atleast basic knowledge about Symfony’s structure and how all it works. If you don’t and you’re planning on writing an application using symfony, go ahead and read the online documentation book : The Definitive Guide to symfony .

It’s out !! And my headache is back ! Congratulations to the symfony team for their hard work. 1.1 is a big improvement in my eyes, compared to 1.1 and the trend will ( hopefully ) continue with 1.2, which is due in october, or so they say

Well after some time, i am back at posting. Life has been quite busy for a long time for me to have the time to post stuff on my blog, but expect some exciting new posts ( woohoo ? what ? ) in the near future. Or maybe not Well see

Well i recently got that annoying :

[crit] (28)No space left on device: mod_rewrite: could not create rewrite_log_lock

Resolution was simple enough :

ipcs -s | grep www-data | perl -e ‘while (<STDIN>) { @a=split(/\s+/); print `ipcrm sem $a[1]`}’

Hey again I had to install today the php ssh2 extension on my webserver, so i could proceed with my new project. Unfortunately the extension is quite old and un-updated, so at first glance it breaks with a libssh2 version higher than 0.10 or so. I was trying

pecl install ssh2

But it always gave me an error at compile time. For those of you that are too lazy to read trough a couple of bug notes in the pecl.php.net site : open ssh.c. Find

#if LIBSSH2_APINO < 200412301450

Replace it with :

#if LIBSSH2_VERSION_NUM < 0x001000

Then Run :

phpize && ./configure --with-ssh2 && make

Should compile fine ^^ Good luck
