Upgrading OpenSSL on Debian 6 (squeeze) or Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy)

Posted on by mario

The Problem on the long term ubuntu 8.04 and the current stable debian is that they ship the old OpenSSL 0.9.8o With that I wasn’t able to compile the new apache 2.4.1 with all the SSL features I want. Downloading the OpenSSL source and just configure make make install didn’t help at all.

checking whether to enable mod_ssl... checking dependencies 
 checking for OpenSSL... checking for user-provided OpenSSL base directory... none 
 checking for OpenSSL version >= 0.9.7... FAILED 
 configure: WARNING: OpenSSL version is too old 
 no 
 checking whether to enable mod_ssl... configure: error: mod_ssl has been requested but can not be built due to prerequisite failures 
 mario@h2020668:~/apache24/httpd-2.4.1$ openssl version 
 OpenSSL 0.9.8o 01 Jun 2010

The only thing that helped was to use the unix config script plus the right prefix plus the shared option

wget http://openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1.tar.gz 
 tar xfz openssl-1.0.1.tar.gz 
 cd openssl-* 
 ./config --prefix=/usr zlib-dynamic --openssldir=/etc/ssl shared 
 make 
 sudo make install

 

Debian is very fine, but sometimes it sucks because of the lag of new software versions

firefox gespeicherte formulardaten löschen

einzelne eintraege löschen geht so:

Mit der Eingabe des ersten Buchstabens oder die „nach-unten-taste“ wird eine Auswahl der zur Verfügung stehenden Einträge angezeigt, einer oder mehrere. Gehe mit der „nach-unten-taste“ oder mit dem Mauszeiger auf den zu löschenden Eintrag, ohne ihn anzuklicken, er erscheint dann markiert (dunkel unterlegt). Auf die „Löschen/DEL“-Taste drücken, fertig.

mod_dav_svn from subversion 1.7.x does not build against apache 2.4

Posted on by mario

Since the API in Apache 2.4.x has changed the mod_dav_svn module from svn doesn’t build currently. I made patch for that. There is only a small issue in subversion/mod_dav_svn/util.c

Index: util.c

             ap_log_rerror(APLOG_MARK, level, errno, r, "%s  [%d, #%d]",
                           errscan->desc, errscan->status, errscan->error_id);
         }

Now it compiles against Apache 2.2 and Apache 2.4

 

Any feedback is welcome.

Javascript getElmentsByClassName

Posted on by mario

If not having jquery this could be a solution

<script type="text/javascript">
function getElementsByClassName(classname, node)  {
    if(!node) node = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0];
    var a = [];
    var re = new RegExp('\\b' + classname + '\\b');
    var els = node.getElementsByTagName("*");
    for(var i=0,j=els.length; i<j; i++){
        if(re.test(els[i].className)){
            a.push(els[i]);
        }
    }
    return a;
}
</script>
