Uniserver on Windows REQUIRES the .htaccess file to have the “Options +ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks” line in it… Or else you get a 403 forbidden on every page you try to access.

I’ve used phpMyAdmin for a while, but I find it to be a little heavyweight at times. Sometimes I just want to run a simple query. The MySQL client is obtuse to use sometimes. So I went on a search for alternatives.

I now use phpMiniAdmin almost exclusively. It’s extremely light weight, fast and has LOTS of neat features. It provides everything I need 99.9% of the time. And it’s easier to configure then phpMyAdmin.

I watched this talk on You Tube by Mary Meeker who is the Managing Director for Morgan Stanley (A Big Wall Street Company, A Good One). It is extremely informative and filled with facts.

Just create a file called favicon.ico (an icon file) and put it in the root of your domain. Optionaly, you can include a meta tag to do it.

More information is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon

Also, here is an online generator: http://www.favicon.cc/

There is one gotcha… On your browser, the icon is almost NEVER updated, unless you load just the icon, i.e. http://yoursite.com/favicon.ico then it will refresh the cache, and the new icon will always appear.
