WordPress won’t update

Published by Jeremy on February 2, 2016

I’ve had issues with WordPress failing to update. After searching forever and manually updating myself for months, I found the problem. Check the /wp-contents/upgrade folder for any files. A previous failed upgrade to core, themes or plugins will stay there and silently cause WordPress to fail to update without any notices. Further more WordPress doesn’t …

LetsEncrypt Nginx SSL Sites

Published by Jeremy on November 23, 2015

I got my hands on the LetsEncrypt beta and already testing it out. Incase it wasn’t obvious, if you have sites that are SSL only (I have a few subdomains which do not operate on http/port 80), you will need to set them up. Here is a quick example of how I adjusted my Nginx …

Fixing Warnings opening files in Explorer from SharePoint

Published by Jeremy on November 12, 2015

While opening files in Explorer to a connected SharePoint Document library, you may receive a warning that action is unsafe, etc. The fix to this for network drives is to add them to the Intranet sites in Internet Settings. It isn’t clear how to do this for SharePoint as using SSL gives you a address …

Raspberry Pi NOOBS install without DHCP

Published by Jeremy on April 3, 2015

Having got a Raspberry Pi and having never setup Raspberry Pi from scratch, I went ahead and proceeded to do the NOOBs install for myself. However since my Cisco switches have Spanning-Tree-Protocol enabled, it takes a while before DHCP addresses are handed out. Long enough that the NOOBS install would time out and give up without …

SlickGrid Autocomplete

Published by Jeremy on April 3, 2015

I’ve been working with SlickGrid on a project recently and it has been fun to work with. It isn’t the best documented setup, but after a while I have figured out how to work with it on most levels giving me exactly what I want to work with. One of the things my users asked for is …

Recovery of LUNs as VHDs

Published by Jeremy on October 4, 2014

I had recently worked on a SAN failure that resulted in a perfect storm of bad backups, broken offsite replication and disabled notifications. The data was sent off to professionals to recover the data. What was returned to me was VHD files from each of the LUNs this SAN had. This SAN had about 20 …

iRedMail on Nginx

Published by Jeremy on March 15, 2013

This is my experiment to get iRedMail to work with Nginx. In the end I got everything to work other than awstats, although with some caveats. I don’t like awstats very much and it seemed quite troublesome to get it setup. There is a mode to run awstats in that lets it just generate static …

Dynamics CRM notes change ownership unexpectedly

Published by Jeremy on February 25, 2013

I stumbled across a weird issue with Dynamics CRM 2011. I thought it was due to Rollup 12 as it only recently started happening, but it appears to be default behavior (whether I noticed it before or not). Basically the steps to reproduce this are very simple. User A Create a case with some basics …

Hyperlinks in CRM 2011 Rollup 12 do not work in Safari

Published by Jeremy on February 14, 2013

One of my co-workers who use Safari way more than I do pointed out today that he couldn’t click links in Safari on his Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion. I was able to reproduce this as well in my Safari. Starting my debugging I noticed if I opened the developer console the links worked, which …

Chrome closes with CRM 2011 Rollup 12

Published by Jeremy on February 8, 2013

Doing more testing with CRM 2011 Rollup 12, I found out that Chrome was self closing when I logged into CRM. This is very annoying, but having worked with CRM before in IE, I knew what this was. By chance I was able to verify it by going to the CRM url and changing the …
