Installing Java and Apache Tomcat in your CentOS / Redhat Server

Installing Java and Apache Tomcat in your CentOS / Redhat Server Steps : Installing Java SDK Step 1 : SSH into the server using the following command ssh –X root@ip-address-of-server Then provide the root password. Please note that you need to use the root (admin) account itself, since you need super-user privileges to install applications in the server. Step 2 : Install jpackage-utils in the server using yum install jpackage-utils You can also get the packages (using wget) from http://www.jpackage.org/ and install them manually.

Google Plus vs. Facebook

Google Plus vs. Facebook Google’s social network finally takes shape as Google+ and looking back at Google Wave and buzz we are happy to see that Google had its homework well done. Disclaimer : Most reviews of Google+ are desperately vague and written by authors who haven’t actually used it. I got to spend nearly 12 hours with it and finally created an opinion of my own, views expressed here are unbiased and to the point. Note: Checkout official demos of Google+ . What Google Plus is about: Its a Social network built by taking Facebook as the platform base, and building all new interface and features on top of it. Google Plus integrates almost all major Google services into one place pretty nicely. What Google Plus is Not: Its not an instant Facebook killer. Google plus is far from complete on features, but just like facebook, it would gain over time and eventually beat facebook, provided Google doesn’t suck at marketing this time. Google Plus – Initial impressions Go...

How to setup FTP in windows

How to setup FTP in windows Setting up FTP Tutorial Welcome to my 1st Windows XP tutorial on how to set up FTP. Because this is such a short process to set up FTP and get it running, I’ve found that though having FTP right in the “My Network Places” is a fast way to access your website via FTP, when you want to upload or download something that is not very small, it takes a very long time. But with FileZilla, those kind of files are much faster, and that we will include in our next tutorial. Maybe you prefer opening up FileZilla and don’t consider it slower than the “My Network Places”. Let’s start. Part 1. Enabling My Network Places to Always Show Up First, to get FTP in Windows XP, lets activate the “My Network Places” and set it up so that it always appears in the Start Menu. Right-click on your start button and then select “Properties”. And yes, for you observant folk, I keep my taskbar (where the start button, quick launch, time, etc. is at) on the left bec...
