Alternative for putty?

The tool that I use most on my windows box is putty. I've always looked for an alternative since it lacks some features like tabbed sessions, Edit display settings such as the indent colors etc..

Poderosa (funny name :)) is an alternative which is kind off good, and has the features which is similar to Terminator in linux, the important and nice features are
1. Tabbed sessions
2. Split windows horizontally and vertically.
3. Editing display colors etc..

This software requires Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.

Compiling Asterisk 1.4.x with H323 channel driver

This is just a step by step procedure I followed to compile Asterisk 1.4 version with H323 channel driver

apt-get install flex bison

• Here we download and compile Asterisk

Compile zaptel driver


cd /usr/src
wget http://downloads.digium.com/pub/zaptel/releases/zaptel-1.4.10.1.tar.gz
cd zaptel-1.4.10
./install_prereq test
./configure
make
make install

Compile libpri


cd /usr/src
wget http://downloads.digium.com/pub/libpri/releases/libpri-1.4.4.tar.gz
cd libpri-1.4.4
make
make install


Compile Asterisk


cd /usr/src
wget http://downloads.digium.com/pub/asterisk/releases/asterisk-1.4.20.tar.gz
cd asterisk-1.4.20
./configure
make menuselect
make
make install
make samples


• Compiling pwlib and openH323 for H323 channel driver

NOTE: openH323 v1.19.0.1 with corresponding pwlib v1.11.0. not pwlib_v1.11.1.

This is required since openh323 will look for compiler.h

touch /usr/include/linux/compiler.h

Compile pwlib


cd /usr/src
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/openh323/pwlib-v1_11_0-src-tar.gz?use_mirror=nchc
tar zxvf pwlib-v1_11_0-src-tar.gz
cd pwlib_v1_9_0
./configure
make
make install
make opt
export PWLIBDIR=/usr/src/pwlib-v1_11_0

Compile openh323


cd /usr/src
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/openh323/openh323-v1_19_0_1-src-tar.gz?use_mirror=jaist
tar zxvf openh323-v1_19_0_1-src-tar.gz
cd openh323-v1_19_0_1
./configure
make
make install
make opt
export OPENH323DIR=/usr/src/openh323-v1_19_0_1

OpenH323 generates its libs in /usr/local/lib but my Linux uses /usr/lib for shared libraries, we'll need to copy the genberated libraries from /usr/local/lib to /usr/lib.

cp /usr/local/lib/* /usr/lib

Compile Asterisk


cd /usr/src/asterisk-1.4.20
./configure
make menuselect ## check if h323 is enabled under channels
cd channels/h323
make
make opt
cd ..
cd ..
make install

Now we make sure the channel driver exists and is loadable:

ldd /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/chan_h323.so

start asterisk

/etc/init.d/asterisk start

Install PHP 5 on Windows Xp for IIS 5.1

Step by step guide to install IIS and PHP 5 on windows XP:

1. First install IIS server:

• Go to your control panel > add remove programs. Click on "Add/Remove Windows Components".
• Make sure windows CD is inserted
• Place a Select check for "Internet Information Services (IIS)”
• Continue with the installation completely.

2. Check whether IIS is installed properly by browsing the default iis site (http://localhost).

3. Now you must get the correct files for php5. Head over to http://www.php.net/downloads.php and download the zip package under "Windows Binaries" Do not get the installer! In addition, while you are here you will need to get the "Collection of PECL modules" also under Windows Binaries
4. Once Downloaded extract the first file you downloaded and place the files in "C:\php". Extract the PECL modules to "C:\php\ext".
5. Rename C:\php\php.ini-recommended to C:\php\php.ini and then COPY it to C:\Windows
6. Open both the php.ini file you have now and uncomment cgi.force_redirect in php.ini and set it to 0
7. Change session.save_path as "session.save_path=C:\php\sessions" and make the directory C:\php\sessions
8. Set the line "extension_dir" as "extension_dir = "C:\php\ext".
9. Uncomment all of the following items.
   extension=php_mssql.dll
   extension=php_msql.dll
   extension=php_mysql.dll
   extension=php_mysqli.dll
   extension=php_java.dll
   extension=php_ldap.dll
   extension=php_iisfunc.dll
   extension=php_imap.dll
   extension=php_filepro.dll
   extension=php_gd2.dll
   extension=php_gettext.dll
   extension=php_dba.dll
   extension=php_dbase.dll
   extension=php_dbx.dll
   extension=php_mbstring.dll
   extension=php_pdf.dll
   extension=php_pgsql.dll
   extension=php_sockets.dll
   extension=php_xmlrpc.dll
   extension=php_xsl.dll
   extension=php_zip.dll
10. Now copy all of those DLL files in C:\php\ext to C:\windows\system32 or add "C:\PHP;" to your Windows path:

• Right Click on My Computer and choose properties > Advanced Tab > Click "Environment Variables".
• Now add "C:\PHP;" to the very beginning.
• Now go to start > run > type: regedit and click ok
• Add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PHP\IniFilePath = C:\php to the registry. If you change your windows path instead of copying the dll files then you will need to restart your computer before php will work. Updating php is easier when you add it to your Windows path. So bookmark this page and go restart. Now is the best time since we are done with file placement.

11. You might have to restart your system at this point
12. Ok, you are back. Now it is time to let IIS know that you have php and you are going to tell IIS how to use it and when
13. Open Internet Services Manager in your Administrative Tools in the start menu
14. Right Click on Web Sites and click Properties, go to ISAPI filter tab choose Add, Filter Properties window pops up. Enter

Filter Name: php

Executables: Browse to C:\php\php5isapi.dll

15. Right Click on websites and choose properties. Go to the Documents tab and add index.php as a start document.
16. Go to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot and delete everything in there except for aspnet_client. Now make a new text file and name it phpinfo.php. Open it up with your text editor ant put this in it: .
17. Open a web Browser and go to http://127.0.0.1/phpinfo.php
18. Enjoy php on Windows XP and IIS
