1and1 Webspace Explorer Error

Looks like 1and1 just recently changed their "1and1 Control Panel" interface. Probably, many were used to using Internet Explorer with "1and1 Webspace Explorer" because it was compatible, before the 1and1 interface change, whereas Google Chrome was not. As of 5/15/11, when attempting to use Webspace Explorer with Internet Explorer 9, commands clicked end up with an error being displayed.

The fix would be to switch to another browser like Google Chrome, which is faster anyway and more secure. You could try Firefox or Opera, but I haven't personally tested those browsers. For me, I will continue to develop in Dreamweaver, test in multiple browsers, and use Google Chrome for any 1and1 Webspace Explorer interactions.

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required './wp-blog-header.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') on line 17

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required './wp-blog-header.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php')  on line 17

Not sure what happened, either there was an error while I was updating the blog's header, and wp-blog-header.php was deleted, or something 1and1 was having an issue.

Anyway, the solution is to restore wp-blog-header.php to the root folder of your blog, which can be found in your original wordpress installation zip file.

For example, if I had a blog at imadethisdesign.com/blog, and I received this error, then I would download a copy of WordPress, then unzip it, then copy the wp-blog-header.php to imadethisdesign.com/blog

Also, you can try this solution as well when the above does not work:

All should be well.

Install Vmware Server 2.0.2 on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx 64-bit

Attempting to install Vmware Server 2.0.2 on Lucid 64-bit will ultimately stop at the building modules step "Execution Aborted." To get around these errors, an excellent working guide can be followed at: hmontoliu's blog.

*Important notes*
Towards the end of the hmontoliu's guide, for my installation, I did not opt for the "-d" flag, which uses default selections for a Vmware Server installation, because I needed to enter in the:

1. Administrative user name
2. Networking options
3. Serial number

Using the "-d" flag prevented me from specifying an administrative user name, so after my first installation attempt, I could not log into the installation.

Did not work for me:
"/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl -d"

Did work:
"/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl"

Hopefully, you'll now see:
"The configuration of VMware Server 2.0.2 build-203138 for Linux for this
running kernel completed successfully."

Now your server can be accessed at:
https://localhost:8333 or http://localhost:8222

I believe the latest Firefox may have some issues accessing a SSL'ed Vmware server, so try using the unsecured http link to see if that works for you.

Cheers

Error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lncurses

If you receive this error message, here's a possible solution:

apt-get install libncurses5-dev

OR in Synaptics Manager install libncurses5-dev
