If you are trying to upgrade PHP to the latest version (5.2.10 as I write this article) and MySQL and mcrypt (for the latest phpmyadmin) and you are using a server instance on EC2 running virtualmin AMI. Here is some help for the upgrade process which works for me.
Copy and paste these into terminal window
rpm -ivh http://software.virtualmin.com/bleed/centos/5/i386/virtualmin-bleed-release-1.0-1.rhel.noarch.rpm
yum upgrade php
wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm
wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-5.rpm
rpm -Uvh remi-release-5*.rpm epel-release-5*.rpm
yum install mysql-server
yum install mcrypt
yum install php-mcrypt
There might be some redundant commands up there, but its exactly what worked for me. Feel free to exclude some statements if they are not used.
If you are using iPhone to connect to the Linksys router WRT54G2 on WPA2 Personal. Make sure that the encryption scheme is TKIP+AES and not AES alone. Otherwise the iPhone will not connect. Incidentally other machines (notebooks) on the network has to reconnect to the router as well upon the new security settings.
If you are having troubles with the Logout function of Facebook Connect using the wp-fbconnect plugin for Wordpress. Head into the wp-fbconnect plugin folder, open up fbconnect.js and modify the following code (add the code in red):
logout : function() {
FB.ensureInit(function() {
FB.Connect.logout();
setTimeout(function () {
window.location = FBConnect.home_url;
}, 3000);
});
},
I have tried a couple of numbers for the delay and 3 secs seems to be rather reliable for now. You might find other numbers more suitable for yourself. I have no explanation for this behavior currently. A wild guess might be when the logout is called, there is a delay between the data being updated and synchronised across the Facebook servers, hence when the page refreshes too fast, the user is read as being still logged in and FB resets his status to being connected. If you know whats going on, please contact me via the comments below. Thanks and Cheers.
