You need to understand them thoroughly before diving into making a solution i.e. a file server. Be ready to do a lot of reading and experimenting. You need to read up on the concepts of uid/gid @ local level /etc/passwd /etc/group and configure samba with 'local' user authentication. Create a prototype in a virtual box VM.

To the best of my understanding, even though most of such companies use FOSS, how they manage them is their internal information (trade secret). You can probably postulate as to what technology stack they use and how they are installed and configured. For example, you will never see the public IP assigned in the AWS instance when you do ifconfig. All you see is the private IP. One can postulate that they probably create a virtual firewall for the VPC you create and assign packet forwarding rules for each instance, within it, and associate it with a public IP. Those who work and/or consult in such places are probably bound by NDA and Non Compete.

It is useful to have it on a Debian based system to examine RPM based packages. I would not recommend installing RPM application/library packages on a DEB based system using the RPM tools. In fact, the packages should be **native** to the distribution e.g. not to mix Debian package with Ubuntu and vice versa.

Reading the User Manual; the feature set is comparable to Zentyal. I looked for content filter (Dansgaurdian) and Time of Day rules (ToD) but I did not find it (or I missed it). BTW, host the ISO on sourceforge or similar service. The ISO download takes forever (816 MB and counting -- too big IMO). Most others like zentyal, ClearOS, Nethserver fit in a CD ROM.

I don't think the above will work. "log.*" wildcard matches the
compressed files also. So change the regex or specify the log file's
complete name.
Also, logrotate would need some finite amount of time to rename the
current log file and replace it with a 0 length logfile for the daemon
to log.
If your daemon supports a SIGHUP, then it might be worhtwile to do a
postrotate SIGHUP so that the daemon starts logging on the new file.
Also, try delaycompress in conjuction with compress. For more
details, RTFM "man logrotate."
You may have to experiment with the logrotate options to get what you want.
Just a thought, if your distro is a RHEL/derivative check for SELinux gotchas.
It would be great if you could share your solution.
HTH,

Use your distro's package manager to upgrade your MySQL packages. Some one has already mentioned Percona; they build RPM/DEB packages for all the major distributions out there. *Before* doing this exercise on your production server, I would strongly recommend that you carry out exercise on a prototype server (using a copy of your production data) and make sure you work out all the kinks (if any) in the upgrade process. Since it is production, I would suggest do not go beyond 5.6.x.

Hi,
my backup script is working when this run manually and in cron jobs. But

put your own one line cron file in /etc/cron.d (read 'man 5 crontab')
to call your script.

while read x ; do
mysqldump ${x} /home/backup/TEST/${x}_`date +%d-%m-%Y`.sql

string comparison should be quoted, numeric comparison should be unquoted
e.g if [ $? -eq 0 ]
echo $x backup is OK $STATUSFILE
else
echo # WARNING: ERROR # $x backup failed $STATUSFILE

done/etc/cron.hourly/dbfile
Why is the content of the 'dbfile' and why have put it in /etc/cron.hourly?
Alternately, you can declare a local variable x=db1 db2 db3 dnN in
the script itself and use
the for n in ${x}; do blah blah; done
++
Also tried with mysqldump ${x} /home/backup/TEST/${x}_`date +%d-%m-%Y`.sql
The symbol '%' has a special meaning to cron so you need to escape it
i.e use \. (RTFM 'man 5 crontab').
BTW a lot of people trip on % symbol in cron tab entries.

Re: [Ilugc] How Ip2locations collect Informations

As we have www.ip2location.com Any idea how do they create the database entries like collecting information of each and every IP's right from Region, Latitude, Longitude, Zip Code, Country and so on. Creating your own DB might be something more than what you can handle. There are services that maintain IP/region/City/ databased with APIs to query and use them in your app. Most provide a light version of their service/db. I am not sure how these services handle IP allocated to mobile devices though. You may only get region info in such cases. Keyword search geo ip location service Please share your experience.

Re: [Ilugc] Mysql SSL segmentation fault

When I tried doing it I ended up with Segmentation fault on my debian machine. However when I used another Redhat box(Santiago) for mysql client I was successful in establishing the connection over SSL. Could someone in the group pour their SME opinion on this issue ? I am not an SME. Is the MySQL server (RHEL) and client (Deb Wheezy) the same version? It should not matter though. Anything related to the segfault in the log files (Deb Wheezy)?

It works, but however I could not store the output in a variable
because of long file name in the output.
echo $PWD | awk '{print $(NF-1), $NF}' FS='/' OFS='/'
Ok now.
subject=$(echo $PWD | awk '{print $(NF - 1), $NF}' FS='/' OFS='/')
Been away from the list for a while.
FWIW, command dirname will return the directory portion of a full
pathname, basename returns the last part of a full pathname.

Nice to know. I have ordered 3 times and I have received the items in about 20-30 days. No customs duty was charged. It was just delivered by a post man. Typically since it comes via post, I think the regular customs allowance (35k?) is followed. The 35K allowance is for travellers and does not apply to shipments.
