How to test your hardware for problems

To find problem in your hardware you need to test everything... But you need to think... I mean, if windows loads up it means that video card, hard disk, rams, and so on works... Possible case - they works not good as "good", but they still works.

Anyways..

Here is some list of programs and other tricks i found while searching internet how to test your hardware parts.

Ram ( Random Access Memory ):
To test your RAM, you can do just by checking your Task Manager ( Performance tab ). Also you can see how many rums installed by going to "my computer"'s properties.
In harder cases people recommend to download these programs:

• memtest86+ ( http://tinyurl.com/6dgkn46 ), requires to burn CD to run
• Windows Memory Diagnostic ( http://tinyurl.com/4qw9hr5 ), requires to burn CD to run
• memtest ( http://tinyurl.com/2lqo2 ), no burn requires!

Most of the information was fount on ehow.com

Hard Disk ( Hard Drive ):
Most of test which you can do for your hard drive is installed in windows. It called "checkdisk" or chkdsk.exe, you can run it from command line. In other case you can do that from your file explorer:

1. Go to computer, 
2. Select hard drive
3. Open properties
4. Choose tools tab
5. Press "Check Now" button, in "Error-checking" section
6. In showed up windows check all possible check boxes and press Start.
7. Wait until finishes and press Done. 

Also you can test your hard drive with SeaGate tool ( http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/seatools ). 16,7 MB

Funny part of this, is that you can listen for sounds which hard drives are making ( in case if it is still working ), and check if it matches one of these ones: http://datacent.com/ . If it does,... i guess you need to change it.

More useful freewares such as "Hitachi Drive Fitness Test" or "Samsung HUTIL" and so on... can be fount here: http://pcsupport.about.com/

GPU ( Graphic Process Unit ):
First of all windows has included tool for this - dxdiag . You can run it from Command line.

1. Press Start 
2. Run 
3. Cmd.exe 
4. dxdiag 
5. hit Enter
6. check Dispay tab, for video card information.

Most popular method to test your video card is to install and run one of Benchmarks product 3DMark. http://www.futuremark.com/

Motherboard:
If motherboard is not working properly you will notice it. Some of these facts says about it:

• Computer does not boot, and instead gives beep sounds.
• Computer random crashes.
• Computer randomly reboots.

and so on..

One of great software to test motherboard is Hot CPU Tester.

PHP export mysql table to text file

Here is simple script which will help you a bit, to export all fields of your database table to text file. It will not be same as export of MyAdmin, but its better than nothing... at least you will have data.

$sql_export = "SELECT * INTO OUTFILE 'tables.txt' FROM `table_name` ";

//var_dump($sql_export);

if($result = mysql_query($sql_export))

echo "Recorded";

else echo "Not recorded";

Joomla Error loading feed data

The error occurs after installing joomla.

So fix the thing all you need to do is:
1. go to administrator panels
2. Extensions -> Module Manager -> Administrator tab
3. Find "Joomla! Security Newsfeed"
4. Disable it
5. Done

If you have the “yoo_tweet module” installed, disable this module as well.  This module is known to display this error message.

Why:

Because this module load feed data with link http://feeds.joomla.org/JoomlaSecurityNews, this link is broken, so it pop up a error loading feed data error.

Have fun!

Finding time difference in seconds between 2 dates ( timestamps )

 SELECT TIME_TO_SEC(TIMEDIFF(`field_name1`,`field_name2`));

httpd.exe apache cpu 100% load

I had the problem today. When i started Apache from Xampp control panel, CPU usage became 100%. Nothing changed after apache restart and PC restart. Same.. - 100%.

So to understand what is happening you need to 

1. go to: C:\xampp\apache\logs

2. open  access.log with text editor

if file is too big to open ( bigger than 5 mb ) do this:
1. just delete access.log and error.log
2. start apache and stop it after it will start loading your CPU to 100%.

In access.log, you will be able to figure out what is happening with your apache ( httpd ).

In my situation was some kind of apache virus ( which affects my files with new scripts called webdav and webalizer ).
So if you have the folders in your xampp folder, that means you have same problem..

i solved it by this way:
1. -> Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center
2. -> Windows Firewall
3. -> Allow programs to communicate through Windows Firewall
4. Removed Apache HTTP Server with checked under Public ( To do that press Change settings button on top )
5. Close everything.

It might not help you. So here is one more idea what you could do in the situation:
After finding out what IP requested execution of the script in part with error.log just Block it! Google for answer..

Joomla template installation problems

Today for first time i tried to install new Joomla! template.

The problem is that i'm total noob at Joomla! And errors which i had was:

1. JFolder::create: Could not create directory
2. Error! Could not find an XML setup file in the package.
3. Your Extension appears to be written for an older version of Joomla!. You must enable the System - Legacy Plugin in the Plugin Manager if you wish to complete this task.
4. Template Install: Failed to create directory.
And so on..

So after 1 hour of power-googling for solutions i finally figured out how to solve them one by one:

First of all, some templates are bugged. You can check it by opening templateDesigh.xml file ( inside of templates zip file ). If it starts with install tag, that means it's bugged. All you need to do is to change install tag to mosintall tag ( don't forget about closing tag at end of the file ).

Secondly, when my first Joomla! was install, some how "tmp" directory wasn't created. So go and create tmp directory if you missing it too.

And finally last and most important solution which helped me is changing all directories of Help -> System info -> Directory Permissions, CHMOD from 755 to 777 .

Also you might have problems with Safe mode in Help -> System info -> PHP Settings, because it should be Off, and some guys has it On.

Good luck.
