Internet Explorer 6, at one point the worlds most used browser, sadly its still in use today, with a global share of 15-25% of Internet users, if you don’t know why this is bad, then shame on you!

This disaster, which some call a browser; was released on august 27th 2001, eight years old and still stinking up the tubes, many web applications today rely on a browser that is safe and can handle extensive Javascript and CSS, which IE6 can-not…

Iv jumped back to using my home media server as a web server for testing, and realized that apache2 wouldn’t recognize .htacess files, after some googling i found the answer, you need to open a terminal or putty session:
navigate to
cd /etc/apache2/sites-available
and open “default” up in your editor or choice
sudo nano default
Default for AllowOverride is none, it should be All, so your overall “default” file should look like this;

NameVirtualHost *

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
# This directive allows us to have apache2's default start page
# in /apache2-default/, but still have / go to the right place
# Commented out for Ubuntu
#RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/

Then all you need to do is restart apache2:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Whether it’s those little Twitter birds, social media or website icons, we all love and need them from time to time. Over the past several months many other blogs have compiled their list of website, social media, Twitter and other icons, so in case you missed them here is the motherload collection!

View list by going to the design cubicle. . .

There are multiple reasons that you might want to install a fully working web-server inside windows, the reason that I started off using stand-alone servers was for website development, if your a fully fledged website developer, designer or want to learn how to create dynamic websites these tools will make life so much easier! Cutting development time down.

I have tested many many stand-alone server packages out there and the best by far is XAMPP which runs on Windows 98, NT, 2000, 2003, XP and Vista and includes;

Apache, MySQL, PHP + PEAR, Perl, mod_php, mod_perl, mod_ssl, OpenSSL, phpMyAdmin, Webalizer, Mercury Mail Transport System for Win32 and NetWare Systems v3.32, Ming, JpGraph, FileZilla FTP Server, mcrypt, eAccelerator, SQLite, and WEB-DAV + mod_auth_mysql.

Now lets get an understanding of those tools included…
