Set up a secondary Domain Name Server with bind9 on a ubuntu linux

- January 11, 2008

On my spare time, I manage the technical subjects of a small webagency i've created with a friend when I was in my second year of Engineer school. It's named 123monsite.com . Tonight I dig the secondary (slave) DNS server subject. Until now, we used a DNS server from our registar as DNS backup. But as we grow, we need more servers and a secondary DNS of our own is becomming handy. We've rent a dedibox from the free.fr ISP (a server for 30€/month : via 2Ghz, 2Go Ram, 160Go HDD, 5Go of monthly backup). I choosed ubunty feisty server (7) among all OS available (many linux flavour and some windows) So here is how I set up my secondary domain name server on my ubuntu server with bind9. Let's say the domain of the primary name server is ns0.primarydomain.com (80.1.1.1) The secondary will be : ns1.primarydomain.com (80.2.2.2) And the domaine we'll want to be handle by both servers is myDomain.com (90.9.9.9).

Upgrade Slimframework v3 to v4, how I did it

- November 21, 2019

Here is an article that details my path to upgrade to Slimframework v3 to v4. I'm developing on my freetime an application that manage the fundraising of the French Red Cross, and I'm updating a lot of frameworks to their last version (AngularJS to Angular 8/9 is my big next move). You can find the project sources here : https://github.com/dev-mansonthomas/RedCrossQuest There’s quite a lot of breaking changes involved, feature removed in profit to external frameworks, the upgrade documentation is quite minimal, but you must read it to understand what's changing : http://www.slimframework.com/docs/v4/start/upgrade.html This article is not well redacted, it’s just a log of what I did to achieve the upgrade, but I feel it may help some, so here we are ;) What I've read to perform the upgrade I’ve read theses article to help the transition to the 4.x https://akrabat.com/a-first-look-at-slim-4/ https://dzone.com/articles/a-first-look-at-slim-4 ...

Star Wars Squadrons & MFPLAT.DLL Missing, Screen & Joystick issues

- October 02, 2020

Star Wars Squadrons & MFPLAT.DLL Missing, Screen & Joystick issues I've just installed Star Wars Squadrons via Steam, being a huge fan of X-Wing, Tie Fighter, X-Wing vs Tie Fighter etc... The nasty surprise came very quick, MFPLAT.DLL is missing from my system with the following message : "the code execution cannot proceed because mfplat.dll was not found" then I got Graphic Drivers issues, Screen resolution issues, Joystick issues... I'm explaining here how to fix these issues. MFPLAT.DLL issue (there's still a long way to go for Microsoft ecosystem to have something useful and intuitive. This should be transparently fixed for the user) I've got a "Windows 10 Pro N" without the Media Feature Pack, and that's apparently what's missing. Detailed instructions from Microsoft can be found here : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4562569/media-feature-pack-for-windows-10-n-may-2020 Basically : Type the windows key In the search ...
