Amazing 4 days

I must say the last 3 days have been some of the exciting days of my life. This is the first time that I am coming home since I took up my job as Research Assistant at Indian Institute of Technology Powai, Bombay (rather Mumbai, I am shit scared of the MNS :-P) under Prof. Prabhu Ramachandran to work under the FOSSEE group. Bill Bryson says in his book, 'Notes from a big country' that there are three things that you can't do in life.

Configuring mod_rewrite on Apache

In order to enable Clean URLs module on Drupal, an Apache server module named mod_rewrite has to be enabled. The following is the procedure to do it on Ubuntu which has LAMP installed using tasksel.

The mod_rewrite on Ubuntu LAMP is not enabled by default. It can be enabled by running the following command on the terminal.

sudo a2enmod rewrite

This will enable the mod_rewrite module on Apache. Now restart Apache server by running.

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Coverage Updates

I have created this page to maintain all the updates of the Coverage Analysis Project that I have taken up as part of Google Summer of Code 2009. This project will contain a comprehensive coverage of the procedure followed to tackle each of the test cases and the scope of the patches that were generated. Wasting no more time, let's get straight to business.

All the patches can be found here.
