$this->redirect(array('controller'=>'dashboards','action'=>'admin_index'));

But the problem is that I get the following error:

Private Method in DashboardsController

Error: DashboardsController::admin_index() cannot be accessed directly.

Notice: If you want to customize this error message, create app\views\errors\private_action.ctp

The issue is when using,

$this->redirect(array('controller'=>'dashboards','action'=>'admin_index'));

it tries to access the admin_index() function directly which is private as the URL goes domainfoo.bar/dashbords/admin_index

Instead we should set it as:

$this->redirect(array('controller'=>'dashboards','action'=>'index','admin'=>true));

or

$this->redirect(array('controller'=>'dashboards','action'=>'index','prefix'=>'admin'));

Hope this will help someone one day.

All you needs do first is, find the /app/views/elements/ directory from your cakephp web app and create a new file with the .ctp extension. oh if you are using .thtml as your views extension no matter you can use it.

For this example I’m creating footer block for my cake app. in /app/views/elements/footer.ctp Then add the codes that requires for the footer in that page.

and from my other views, now i can call for this block as

echo $this->element('footer');

Yeah, It’s that simple. Also you can pass data to an element through the element’s second argument:

echo $this->element('footer', array("var_foo"=>"bar"));

On your element now you can get that variable, as this variable is available as members of the parameter array.

echo $var_foo; //this will print "bar" as the output.

Forbidden You don’t have permission to access /phpMyAdmin on this server.

This may trigger due to the restrictions which assigned with the default config file. Open it with your favorite editor from the path below.

[root@megantereon /]# vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf

by default you can only access phpMyAdmin only over localhost. The rule is here.

Alias /phpMyAdmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin
order deny,allow
deny from all allow from 127.0.0.1

To allow access over remote web browsers, comment out the lines on the above config file as shown below.

Alias /phpMyAdmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin
#order deny,allow
#deny from all allow from 127.0.0.1

First I thought there is some issue with internet, but I was wrong. Internet was fine. The server’s internet connection was running with a proxy. So I realized there is still something to do with yum configuration.

So I had to google a bit to find out a solution or fix for get through the proxy server. here is what I did.

I just execute this command on a shell prompt and yum worked fine for me. NOTE: my proxy server is 130.10.32.3 on port 9000. make sure to use your one instead :)

export http_proxy=http://130.10.xxx.xxx:xxxx
export ftp_proxy=http://130.10.xxx.xxx:xxxx

Alternately you may add this line to /etc/yum.conf

http_proxy=http://130.10.xxx.xxx:xxxx
ftp_proxy=http://130.10.xxx.xxx:xxxx

to do so, just login as a normal user and type this command to become root user:

# su -

provide the password for the root account and open the above mentioned file from your favourite editor:

# gedit /etc/pam.d/gdm

or

# vi /etc/pam.d/gdm

find this line and uncomment it.

auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet

Save and close the file. Logout from the system. Now you should be able to login as root user from the login screen.

Default values for account creation defined in /etc/default/useradd file under Linux distros. Let’s open it up using a text editor. I’m using vi editor as always.

# vi /etc/default/useradd

here is what i can see in my fedora box:

# useradd defaults file
GROUP=100
HOME=/home
INACTIVE=-1
EXPIRE=
SHELL=/bin/bash
SKEL=/etc/skel
CREATE_MAIL_SPOOL=yes

as you can see the default home directory defined by HOME variable. just replace it with your new path.

HOME=/allusers/developers

$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_0"

Now you need the latest version of Glassfish application server, I’m using Glassfish V2 for Linux for this installation. I’m going to download this file to /opt dir.

$ lwp-download http://java.net/download/javaee5/v2ur2/promoted/Linux/glassfish-installer-v2ur2-b04-linux.jar

once finished, execute

$ java -Xmx256m -jar glassfish-installer-v2ur2-b04-linux.jar

Files will be decompressed in a directory named /opt/glassfish

switch to glassfish dir and type

$ chmod +x -R lib/ant/bin
$ lib/ant/bin/ant -f setup.xml

Ok, its almost done. Let’s start the server now.

$ bin/asadmin start-domain

Now type http://localhost:8080 and see it’s working. you can reach to the admin console http://localhost:4848 here with default username/password. (admin/adminadmin)

hope this helps some one.
