ThingsDB timezone not working as expected - database

I want to use a datetime with a specific timezone but ThingsDB doesn't seem to recognise the zone. No error is returned, but the output is not what I expect.
This occurs even with a simple code example:
datetime('2020-12-10T16:08:24Z').to('Europe/Kyiv');
I would expect the above to return:
"2020-12-10T18:08:24+0200"
Instead, I get the following result:
"2020-12-10T16:08:24+0000"
I'm using ThingsDB v1.4.7 which is the latest version at this moment.

Most likely your tzdata package is not the latest. If you have the same problem with other time-zones then the package might not be installed at all.
To install the package on Ubuntu:
sudo apt install tzdata
On Alpine linux:
sudo apk add tzdata

Installing mongodb-enterprise-server error

Hello guys. Can someone help me about this one? I cant install mongodb because of dependency problem. I already tried updating my linux mint terminal.
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mongodb-enterprise-server:
mongodb-enterprise-server depends on libcurl3 (>= 7.16.2); however:
Package libcurl3 is not installed.
mongodb-enterprise-server depends on snmp; however:
Package snmp is not installed.
Installing via dpkg -i mongodb.deb will not include additional package dependencies. You should be able to fix your installation by following up with sudo apt --fix-broken install.
Unless you have strong reasons to avoid the standard process I would recommend following the tutorial to Install MongoDB Enterprise by adding the appropriate repo definitions. Adding the normal package repo will also make it easier for you to update to newer minor releases of MongoDB 4.0.x.

how to create a debian package using “equivs-build” which can be “upgraded” if already installed?

I have created a .deb package using equivs-build command and providing necessary control, preinst, postinst, etc. I noticed that version can also be mentioned in control file. Now I want to create a .deb package with updated source code and I want to enable user to upgrade the package if it is already installed (and is of previous version, of course), as I won't be changing conf related files, etc. One way I can think of is to write a shell-script which will first check for installed version, and will take actions accordingly (i.e. if installed, just update the source-code, database-migrations, etc. and if not, install the package using dpkg -i <package-name>). I was wondering if there was a way to achieve using dpkg only (something like dpkg upgrade <package-name>) which will handle installation or up-gradation as required.
That's already how it works.
dpkg -i package_0.123.deb will upgrade if the version of package is less than 0.123, removing the previous version if necessary (there's an option to force a downgrade, too). apt-get install package will install the newest version of package, removing the old one and upgrading to a new one if necessary. apt-get upgrade will upgrade all packages to the newest version.
Basically, just take care to monotonically upgrade the version number each time you publish a new build.
If you didn't specify a version previously, the default will be something simple like 1.0. Just make it bigger than that.

Update to last version after already installed old

I'm using fastcgi and my PHP version is 5.3.3 instead of 5.5 so my question is how can I update to latest PHP version? I'm using CentOS, I tried yum update, but no update appeared for this.
Normally you need to uninstall the 5.3 branch and install 5.5 from scratch because it is not an update but a new version.
Beware that in 5.5 quite some functions are deprecated that were still available in 5.3!
http://blog.ahughes.org/?p=717
Uses the remi repository.
From the blog:
By running the following commands:
rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm
you solve all dependency issues with epel and remi on CentOS 6.
Then, by running the following command, you install PHP 5.5.
yum --enablerepo=remi,remi-test install httpd php php-common
For extra goodies, you can run the following command:
yum --enablerepo=remi,remi-test install php-pecl-apc php-cli php-pear php-pdo php-mysqlnd php-pgsql php-pecl-mongo php-sqlite php-pecl-memcache php-pecl-memcached php-gd php-mbstring php-mcrypt php-xml
Now, restart your httpd service and set it to boot automatically:
service httpd restart
chkconfig --levels 235 httpd on
Now run:
php --version
to see whether the correct version of PHP was installed.

Mac Ports Update Failing

hansarijanto$ port -v
MacPorts 2.0.3
hansarijanto$ xcodebuild -version
Xcode 4.3.2
Build version 4E2002
I am running the above xcode and macport version. on max os x
when I try to self update my mac port I get the following error.
hansarijanto$ sudo port selfupdate
Password:
---> Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
MacPorts base version 2.0.3 installed,
MacPorts base version 2.0.4 downloaded.

I am trying to update mac port to install qt.
sudo port install qt4-mac-devel(error no SDK found)
which I need to install webkit-capybara
sudo gem install capybara-webkit -v '0.7.2'(error in setting up native environment)
You need to use the -d option to get enough information to diagnose this; but take a look at https://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#selfupdatefails for common problems and solutions.
Seems Apple no longer installs Xcode's command line tools. See here: http://ericwilson.erics.ws/ericsblog/2012/8/26/macports-port-selfupdate-fail for solution.
Just wanted to add that on Mac OS 10.12 Sierra i was getting the WARNING: GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT is not defined error on selfupdate and i did already have the Xcode command line tools installed, licensed and working. But my copy of Xcode had become out of date, even though that was not showing up on the automatic software updates.
I had version 7 and for Sierra (and macports) you need version 8.
So I manually downloaded Xcode 8 via the App Store and it solved the problem for me.

Help installing static binary for wkhtmltopdf

I am trying to use the static binary of wkhtmltopdf on Ubuntu server 10.0.4. The reason for is that it apparently has a built in modified QT that will allow me to run wkhtmltopdf without an X Server.
Result:
Once installed (see steps below), when I execute wkhtmltopdf in the terminal, it does not fire up... just returns me to the prompt - like it ran and did something, no error but no output:
:/usr/bin$ wkhtmltopdf
:/usr/bin$
Same behavior if I put args:
:/usr/bin$ wkhtmltopdf http://www.google.com test.pdf
:/usr/bin$
Am I doing something wrong --- my understanding that the static binary should just fire up. Perhaps missing some dependency? Is there a way to get some verbose output?
These are the steps I have followed:
In /usr/bin:
1) Confirmed that the existing (non-static) wkhtmltopdf resides there and that it executes. When I execute it with no args I get the help/about output from the app.
2) Moved the existing wkhtmltopdf out of the directory (renamed it)
3) Get the static binary: sudo curl -C - -O http:
//wkhtmltopdf.googlecode.com/files/wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-i386.tar.bz2
4) Untar: tar xvjf wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-i386.tar.bz2
5) Rename: mv wkhtmltopdf-i386 wkthtmltopdf
6) Get (apparently) necessary packages: sudo apt-get install openssl build-essential xorg libssl-dev
I was having the same problem. I removed the existing wkhtmltopdf and followed the steps below and the installation worked.
First, installing dependencies
sudo aptitude install openssl build-essential xorg libssl-dev
for 64-bit OS
wget http://wkhtmltopdf.googlecode.com/files/wkhtmltopdf-0.9.2-static-amd64.tar.bz2
tar xvjf wkhtmltopdf-0.9.2-static-amd64.tar.bz2
chown root:root wkhtmltopdf-amd64
mv wkhtmltopdf-amd64 /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf
The only difference is that I put it in /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf.
I hope this helps!
Following deb's answer got it working for me on Ubuntu 10.04 64bit - thanks!
Although rather than downloading 0.9.2 as per deb's instructions, I would suggest people download the latest version by:
Go to http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/downloads/list
Download the latest version of wkhtmltopdf-[version number]-static-amd64.tar.bz2
At this time, the latest 64bit is http://wkhtmltopdf.googlecode.com/files/wkhtmltopdf-0.11.0_rc1-static-amd64.tar.bz2.
In my debian server trying to run wkhtmltopdf-i386 lead to same blank prompt.
Non-static (with non-patched QT) version of wkhtmltopdf installed with "aptitude install wkhtmltopdf" is worked.
Problem solved by switching to wkhtmltopdf-amd64, server was a 64 bit and i missed it.
After that, wkhtmltopdf-amd64 says 'libxrender shared library not found', this problem was solved by "aptitude install xorg"
0.11.0_rc1 seems to be buggy.
It keeps throwing the error "Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used".
Reverting to 0.9.9 worked for me.
