How to correctly install wkhtmltopdf on debian 64 bit?

by

Ubuntu and Debian packages are compatible most times but not in all cases, i think this is the trouble you’re having you’re trying to use the Ubuntu’s .deb for Debian instead you should get the Debian specific file, (it works for both jessie and wheezy)

wget http://download.gna.org/wkhtmltopdf/0.12/0.12.1/wkhtmltox-0.12.1_linux-wheezy-amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox-0.12.1_linux-wheezy-amd64.deb

Then in the /etc/init.d/openerp-server or /etc/init.d/odoo-server script(s), depending on your which one you have

add /usr/local/bin to the front of path environment variable for example,

PATH=/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin,

This tells odoo where to look for system binaries it requires or optionally you can copy the files to /usr/bin, if you don’t want to mess with those files

sudo cp /usr/local/bin/wkhtmlto* /usr/bin/

First, get and install the repository’s public key:

apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keys.gnupg.net 79AF54A9

Open up and edit sources.list with:

nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Installing SqlMap in Ubuntu / any Linux distro for SQL Injection

by

SQLMAP is a automated SQL injection tool which does most of the work for you. If you don’t know what SQL injection is head over here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL_injection

Using SQLMAP, you can “hack” many databases in very short time. In the next post, i will show you how to dump database tables and credentials from a vulnerable database and explore.

Even if the passwords are stored using hashing functions ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function ), you can crack these hashes using online tools.

Here is the complete video guide for installation:

Fixing error: ‘Access denied for user ‘debian-sys-maint’@’localhost’ (using password: YES)’

by

For all you Ubuntu/MySQL developers out there, have you ever seen the following?

neo@thematrix:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
* Stopping MySQL database server mysqld [fail]
* Starting MySQL database server mysqld [ OK ]
/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'

So, what is this “debian-sys-maint” user?  Well, this MySQL user is created for the Ubuntu to be able to start/stop the database and to carry out other maintenance operations.

Sounds well enough, but then why do I keep running into the “access denied” problem for this user?  Well, the issue is that with each update to MySQL, the user’s password in the database is overwritten.  Ubuntu seems to go to the file /etc/mysql/debian.cnf in order to find this user’s password, but obviously the password is out of sync after the update has been applied.

As a result of this behaviour, I’ll run into the “access denied” problem every so often.  Thankfully, the solution to this issue is fairly simple.
