Linux: Move files and directories up one directory
Here’s a quick answer to a Linux CLI question that I am asked on a regular basis. The scenario goes like this. You just unpacked a gzip’d file and you have a directory full of files and directories now. You don’t want those files and directories in that directory but rather up one directory…what do you do. First thing you can do is to cd into the directory and then you can either:
Copy the files/directories up one directory by running: cp * ../
or you can…
Move the files/directories up one directory by running: mv * ../
Joomla: cannot login to administration
Today Joomla decided it wanted to kick me out as Super Administrator…so I went into the users table and reset the admin password using MD5. No Luck!
After a bit of Googling I found that the Joomla core_acl_aro table gets corrupted from time to time. Fortunately for me I had a backup of this table. For anyone needing the schema for this table you can use the following to at least get back into the admin area:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `core_acl_aro`;
CREATE TABLE `core_acl_aro` (
`aro_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`section_value` varchar(240) NOT NULL default ’0′,
`value` varchar(240) NOT NULL default ”,
`order_value` int(11) NOT NULL default ’0′,
`name` varchar(255) NOT NULL default ”,
`hidden` int(11) NOT NULL default ’0′,
PRIMARY KEY (`aro_id`),
UNIQUE KEY `gacl_section_value_value_aro` (`section_value`(100),`value`(100)),
KEY `gacl_hidden_aro` (`hidden`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=11 ;
INSERT DELAYED IGNORE INTO `core_acl_aro` (`aro_id`, `section_value`, `value`, `order_value`, `name`, `hidden`) VALUES
(10, ‘users’, ’62′, 0, ‘Administrator’, 0);
