I'm a dick- apache conf php includes and pear


Sometimes I forget things, sometimes I not thinking straight.  After wasting hours with a php include problem and a problem with pear, I discovered the following.

  1. When you use an an apache php_value include_path (eg: as an apache declaration for a virtual host - I'm talking about an apache conf file here, not a php file), it actually does what it's supposed to do and "overrides" the include path.  I thought it appended the include path.  So you do need to also add a dot . for the current directory and also the normal paths, plus what ever else you want.  I'm not sure if you can code it dynamically in apache conf (like you would in a php file).
  2.  I forgot that with pear, you also need to include the pear file, like Mail.php etc...  (normally done with a require_once).  It doesn't all happen with the Mail::factory(...) declaration and so on.  
doh! and doh!

Tip to create an underline on a heading shorter than the heading itself

You can use a pseudo element with :before (or :after ): h1 { font - weight : 300 ; display : inline - block ; padding - bottom : 5px ; position : relative ; } h1 : before { content : "" ; position : absolute ; width : 50 %; height : 1px ; bottom : 0 ; left : 25 %; border - bottom : 1px solid red ; } http://jsfiddle.net/9e27b/ This is another solution that centers the heading, the problem here is that the underline gets shorter as the column gets shorter. h2 {   display: inline-block;   padding-bottom: 15px;   position: relative;   width: 100% ;   text-align: center; } h2:before{     content: "";     position: absolute;     width: 8%;     height: 1px;     bottom: 0;     left: 46%;     border-bottom: 1px solid red; }

The web.config no extension mime problem Lets Encrypt on IIS/Windows

  Tip when using LetsEncrypt in Windows - Feature Requests - Let's Encrypt Community Support In a paragraph, just use the web.config file to set the mime type, eg...  After trying to figure out why my Lets Encrypt failed to generate in Windows, and discovering that it's the no extension mime type problem, I wondered whether certbot could fill in the missing gap. All that is needed is the following web.config file to be placed in the same directory as the challenge <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <configuration> <system.webServer> <staticContent> <mimeMap fileExtension="." mimeType="text/xml" /> </staticContent> </system.webServer> </configuration> Because there's no mime type for files without an extension on IIS, IIS sends back a 404 when verification happens. The web.config file above sets the mime type. After I created the .well-known
