I’ve had a long standing problem. Every time I rebuild my main server (which contains my websites, my mail, my ldap directory, etc), I get myself wrapped around the axle with authentication. I particularly seem to get into trouble with authenticating access to phpMyAdmin. I use ldap for basic authentication in apache. This morning I figured out some obvious things (they are always obvious once you figure them out). I write this down so that the next time I make the same mistake, I’ll have someplace to look to trigger my memory. If it should happen that anyone else who suffers from the same density could get any help from this, so much the better.

JQuery with Zend Framework
A couple of years ago I incorporated some jquery stuff, and some jquery-ui stuff into a website I had built on Zend Framework. At that time Zend Framework didn’t have its own support for jquery (or if it did, I didn’t know about it).
Now I’m working on a new site, and I find that there is now a jquery view helper to help do jquery stuff. It is located in the “extras” library. I also didn’t know about this library. When did this get added? Anyway, stumbling around on the net I discovered that there is now some jquery support in Zend Framework. Cool. So I set about learning how to use it.
I often find the documentation in the Programmers Reference in Zend Framework to be very cryptic and difficult. Probably this is because I am a very old programmer who learned the craft while dodging dinosaurs back in the stone age. I think people freshly learning to program today have a considerably different perspective (and probably vastly better). Sometimes I just have to go read the code. I had a devil of a time getting the jquery stuff to actually work. These notes maybe will help me the next time I have to do it. Continue reading JQuery with Zend Framework
Time for a new website
I have hated my website since I built the first one.
I’m going to take Melody’s advice and put up a new one, and really try to use it.
