How To Skip Certain Errors In MySQL Replication
Author: Falko Timme •
Tags: mysql •
Comments: 5 MySQL replication is nice, however it can happen that it stops because of an error, and restoring a working replication can be hard - you need to set locks on the master to get a consistent MySQL dump, and during that time websites are not accessible. However there's a way to make the MySQL slave ignore certain errors using the slave-skip-errors directive.

How To Build mod_fastcgi For Apache2 On OpenSUSE 12.2
Author: Falko Timme •
Tags: apache, suse, web server •
Comments: 0 How To Build mod_fastcgi For Apache2 On OpenSUSE 12.2 mod_fastcgi is needed for Apache prior to 2.4 to work with PHP-FPM. There is an apache2-mod_fastcgi package for OpenSUSE, but unfortunately it is buggy: it does not allow you to use the FastCgiExternalServer directive inside a vhost, although the official mod_fastcgi documentation says that this is allowed. This guide explains how to build a new mod_fastcgi from the sources for Apache2 on an OpenSUSE 12.2 system to fix this problem.

Comments: 3 VBoxHeadless - Running Virtual Machines With VirtualBox 4.2 On A Headless Fedora 18 Server This guide explains how you can run virtual machines with VirtualBox 4.2 on a headless Fedora 18 server. Normally you use the VirtualBox GUI to manage your virtual machines, but a server does not have a desktop environment. Fortunately, VirtualBox comes with a tool called VBoxHeadless that allows you to connect to the virtual machines over a remote desktop connection, so there's no need for the VirtualBox GUI.

Detailed Error Handling In Bash
Author: DonQuichote •
Tags: linux •
Comments: 0 Detailed Error Handling In BashShell scripts are often running as background processes, doing useful things without running in a visible shell. To write such scripts can be quite painful, as all errors occur out of sight as well. While log files can hold a lot of information, finding the relevant information is a bit trickier. My solution is to log only the errors with all the details to a small database. This database contains tables for the message, the corresponding stack trace and the important environment variables. I have chosen for an SQLite database in this howto, but the same principle works with other databases as well.
