This time I will show you how to install Kohana PHP framework. You can find it here.

Kohana is lightweight PHP MVC (Model-View-Controller) framework written strictly in PHP 5.0.

This is my first tutorial in HD! To watch it in HD you have to click an HD icon and go to vimeo.com. Unfortunately Vimeo does not allow to embed HD videos yet. Of course it’s best to watch it in full screen with scaling off. Have fun!

Of course any comments or suggestions greatly appreciated.

It’s a shame that one of my favorite tools is broken in Ubuntu 8.10. It crashes right after you rune it with segmentation fault.  There is a patch in launchpad Bug #294599 but it did not work for me. I was getting some crypted error message. Finally after 10 minutes of googleing and trying i got the solution.

Here are the steps to build your own package:

1. sudo apt-get install build-essential fakeroot devscripts
2. mkdir apachetop && cdapachetop
3. wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19754557/apachetop.debdiff
4. apt-get source apachetop
5. cd apachetop-0.12.6 && patch -p1 < ../apachetop.debdiff

Now before you do anything we have to make one small change to the code by hand:

$ vim src/apachetop.cc

go to line 967 (in vim write 967G) and replace line

char realfile[MAXPATHLEN];

with:

char realfile[PATH_MAX];

now go to the apachetop-0.12.6 directory and do:

$ debuild -uc -us

after compiling is successfully you can install your new package with:

$ sudo dpkg -i ../apachetop_0.12.6-8ubuntu1_i386.deb

Hope it will help someone.
