.htaccess: an example of the Apache per-directory configuration file

Using bloxsom as my weblog designing application, I had to provide some settings to the Apache .htaccess configuration file to fine-tune the usage of my site:

1. tell Apache to load index.cgi in addition to the default index.htm
2. rewrite the requested address adding www. if it's omitted
3. rewrite the requested address adding index.cgi if it's omitted

Remove XP Pro or Win Server 2003 bandwidth limit

Run Group Policy (gpedit.msc) and go to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Network -> QoS Packet Scheduler and change "Limit reservable bandwidth" to "Enabled" with a value of 0%. By default it appears disabled but read the description and you'll discovered it's enabled with a value of 20%.

Seeing MySQL queries, just like MS SQL Profiler

Just execute mysqld with the --log[=filename] or -l[=filename] command-line option. If filename is omitted, hostname.log will be created in the mysql data directory.
Or edit my.ini adding log=filename line (i.e. if you use WAMP).
Then restart mysqld.

WAMP & Perl - Windows Apache, MySQL, PHP with CGI scripts written in Perl

I need Perl to run Blosxom, an open source and free CGI script to create blogs.
So I installed WAMP5 1.6.4a and ActivePerl 5.8.8.817 with MSI installer.
I already have my site on my disk, so I told my site directory to WAMP during the setup procedure and then I pointed my browser to http://localhost/index.cgi but it displayed the cgi instead of executing it.
This is what I did to make it work:

Running PHP scripts from command-line with WAMP (Windows Apache, MySQL, PHP)

On my old pc I installed Apache, MySQL and PHP singularly, and I made some PHP scripts to be runned from command-line, like this:

c:\php\php -f myscript.php

On my new pc I installed WAMP5 1.6.4, all was running fine (phpMyAdmin, my local website, php scripts pointed to by the browser) but php scripts launched by command-line reported

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in myscript.php

Obviously I changed the php path to c:\wamp\php\php but with no results.
Solution: change the command to

c:\wamp\php\php -c c:\wamp\apache2\bin -f myscript.php

The -c option tells php to search php.ini in the directory specified, and that's needed because WAMP puts php.ini in Apache bin directory, while with a PHP regular installation php.ini is located in the php.exe directory.
