local - 1031 sermon jams vol 1

We are going to study a passage today that shows us how important the church is to God and how important it is for the church to be built according to his specifications. And so lets read together in first Corinthians chapter 3 starting in verse 10 - the apostle Paul writes: According to the grace of God given to me like a skilled master builder, I laid a foundation and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it, for no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is, Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each one's work will become manifest for the day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and fire will test what sort of work each on has done. If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss though he himself will be saved but only as through fire. Do you not know that you are God's temple and God's spirit's dwells in you. If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him, for God's temple is holy and you are that temple. As I study this passage of scripture this past week, oddly enough, the thing that kept coming to my mind is the story of the three little pigs. Its so incredible that stories that you heard as a child just stick with you. We all know the story. Three pigs: one builds a house out of straw, good you were listening to your parents as a child, thats good. Second builds his house out of sticks. And the third, labors hard, works diligently, builds his house out of brick, and when the big bad wolf comes huffing and puffing only the house that was built of bricks stands up. Well, even the small child will understand the moral of this story. The hard work of building a solid structure with the right material pays off on the day of testing. Well, in this passage the apostle Paul is making a similar point as he writes to the Christians in the city of Corinth. He's not writing about their homes. He is writing about the church they are building with their lives, he is not talking about a physical structure, he's talking about the structure of their lives and their beliefs joined together as a local church. He's speaking to them as a local church.

Configuring Confluence

confluence-init.properties modified conf/server.xml using ports 8015 and 8090

in my special note form

before:
...
Server port="8000"
...
classname="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector"
port="8080"
minProcessors="5"
maxProcessors="75"
enableLookups="false"
redirectorPort="8444"
acceptCount="10"
debug="0"
connectionTimeouts="20000"
useURIValidationHack="false"
URIEncoding="UTF-8" end

After:
...
Server port="8015"
...
classname="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector"
port="8090"
minProcessors="5"
maxProcessors="75"
enableLookups="false"
redirectorPort="8444"
acceptCount="10"
debug="0"
connectionTimeouts="20000"
useURIValidationHack="false"
URIEncoding="UTF-8" end

mysql-connector-java-3.1.14-bin.jar filed under common/lib
CREATE DATABASE blehblehbleh CHARACTER SET UTF8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
jdbc:mysql://localhost/blehblehbleh?autoReconnect=true&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF8

works fine great!

Configuring Jira

I'm following the procedures found on the Atlassian Confluence web site. I need to download the appropriate JDBC connectors here and download the latest supported (by atlassian) version of MySQL (I'm currently using windows).

Here goes:
see this link:
http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/latest/databases/mysql.html
or click here.

1. create database jira character set utf8;
2. in {JIRA_HOME}\conf\server.xml
3. driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
4. url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/jira?autoReconnect=true&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF8"
5. following should be no more
6. driverClassName="org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver"
7. url="jdbc:hsqldb:${catalina.home}/database/jiradb"
8. minEvictableIdleTimeMillis="4000"
9. timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis="5000"
10. maxActive="20" //it doesn't mention anywhere that this should be deleted too, but deleted anyway
11. changed atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/entityengine.xml
12. like this mysql"
13. deleted schema-name="PUBLIC"
14. kept helper-class="org.ofbiz.core.entity.GenericHelperDAO" and the rest
15. finished, lets see if it works.

Review procedure:

1. CREATE DATABASE jira CHARACTER SET UTF8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci; seems to be better
2. it should complement the use of this statement in server.xml:
3. url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/jiradb?autoReconnect=true&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF8"

Error messages:

1. No errors! All tables were created, no problem, just a lot of complaining at first that tables did not exist.
2. Setup complete with no error messages.

This is not a hate site.
