You cant use a putty ppk to ssh to a remote server from you linux machine. In that case you may need to first convert ppk to ssh file. For that first you need to install putty on your machine. $ sudo apt-get install putty Then goto the directory and run the  following command to convert ppk to ssh file. $ puttygen key.ppk -O private-openssh -o key.ssh Here, I assume, kep.ppk is you ppk file and key.ssh will be newly created ssh file. After this you can ssh to your remote machine/server using following command. $ ssh user@myserver.com -i key.ssh

I installed phpmyadmin with apache on Linux but I was seeing this at localhost/phpmyadmin Not Found The requested URL /phpmyadmin/ was not found on this server. Apache/2.2.17 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80 To fix this I had to make changes to apache.conf sudo vim /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and added the following line at the end... Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf then restart the apache.. sudo service apache2 restart  

Before installing NetBeans you need to install JDK software. You can install the JDK software and NetBeans IDE in directories of your choice.

If you want to compare a field value with it self it was changed or not, you can do it using $node->original in hook_node_presave function custom_node_presave($node) { if ($node->field_name == 1 && $node->original->field_name == 0) { //Do the magic here... } } Here I am comparing if checkbox was newly checked or was already checked. :)

By default checkbox works with 1, 0 values to be checked, unchecked respectivly. $form['custom_checkbox'] = array( '#type' => 'checkbox', '#title' => 'Title', '#default_value' => variable_get('custom_var'), ); you can use #return_value to set a desired value for the checkbox field is it is selected. $form['custom_checkbox'] = array( '#type' => 'checkbox', '#title' => 'Title', '#return_value' => $key, '#default_value' => variable_get('custom_var'), );

I was trying to show status message against an ajax call. Was using rules_link to promote nodes clicking on a link. And wanted to show message if it was done. Here is how I did it.... $commands = array(); $commands[] = ajax_command_prepend('div#ajax-status-messages-wrapper', drupal_set_message(variable_get('limit_po_notification'), 'error')); return array('#type' => 'ajax', '#commands' => $commands);
