MySQL replication problem (sort of)

2007-10-17 Thread Oded Arbel

Hi list.

I'm (possibly) having a problem with a MySQL replication setup, where
replication works well except for one table that doesn't get new rows at
all.

I'm using a moderately complex replication setup where a remote server
is a master to a server running on the local lan and replicates the
entire server over an SSH connection (which sometimes go down, but then
I restore it and the server just picks up the replication). A third
server on the local lan replicates just one schema from the second
server and renames it - the reason is that we want a local copy of the
log tables that are generated on the production server, w/o overriding
the development schema.

The problem is that on the second server everything looks peachy -
information is coming in and its always up to date, but on the third
server on the renamed database one of the log tables is not getting any
updates - currently it is stuck  with records from yesterday at noon and
nothing new is coming in (I currently think its only one that has
problems, but I haven't checked all of them). Other tables are getting
updates just fine. 

I don't see any errors in the mysqld.log file and the slave status shows
both IO and SQL replication threads running w/o an error. mysqlcheck
thinks that all the tables are ok.

All the tables use the InnoDB engine and while there is a lot of foreign
keying going on, the said problematic table has no foreign keys at all.
If I resync the database (using mysqldump --master-data=1) it starts ok,
and after a while (about a day) the same problematic table stops getting
any new records. I rather not do a resync again because the last dump
was already at 3GB of size and it takes several hours to load it into
the database - and the next dump will be larger.

Has anyone ever encountered a problem like this when replication stops
for one table but not for the others ?

There are several such things. I did not really try any of them myself,
only looked for one for a friend, and one of the more promising ones was
ipcop. It's rather large, with quite many plugins/packages, all should
be managed with a web interface. Another one that I liked was m0n0wall,
which isn't linux but FreeBSD, with userland being entirely written in
php (no init/sh/etc) and a single configuration file you can easily
backup/restore. Google a bit for these and you'll also find other such
projects. An even larger project, which is supposed to be more-or-less a
general-purpose server but still with a simple web interface is ebox.
Seems quite interesting, but its version number is 0.9.something, which
means it might not be ready yet (although being 1.something doesn't
always mean the opposite). As I said, I did not try any of them.

PC router distro?

2007-10-17 Thread Geoffrey S. Mendelson
I there any distro of Linux specifically to turn a PC into a router?

What I am looking for is something that runs on a PC, either from
a floppy, hard drive, USB memory stick, etc, that turns a PC into
a full function router. Similar in function to the SVEASoft package
or Tomato for the Linksys routers. 

The person who would be using it is not technically able to run or configure
a Linux system as a router. they could only do it if it has a web interface,
and then they would need some coaching.

They have an aDSL line if it matters and currently use a Windows XP
"dialer".

The choice of a PC is that they have several PIII class computers sitting
around and no money for a router.

Thanks in advance,

Geoff.

xmodmap question

2007-10-17 Thread Hetz Ben Hamo
Hi,

I have a Sun USB keyboard here which I'm trying to "enable" it's
special keys (cut/copy/paste) under GNOME.

I have tried using the .Xmodmap, with these lines:

$ cat .Xmodmap
keycode 248 = XF86Copy
keycode 188 = XF86Cut
keycode 192 = XF86Paste

When I check this with xev, it seems to show it OK, but trying really
to copy and paste doesn't make it actually work.

Have I forgot anything?

Thanks,
Hetz

2007-10-17 Thread Orr Dunkelman
After a short break for the holidays, Haifux is meeting again.

Next Monday, 22nd of October, at 18:30 the Haifa Linux Club, will gather
to hear Roiy Zysman's talk about

  Running C# and ASP.Net on Linux using Monoppix

Roiy, a co-founder of Monoppix is going to talk about developing C#
and ASP.Net application on Linux using a Monoppix livecd. Mono is a
runtime engine and C# compiler implementation on linux, and Monoppix
is a livecd that comes preinstalled with Mono.It is a development
oriented distribution, aimed at windows c# developers to get to know
how to develop C# application on Linux with Mono and also for linux
people wanting to start developing C# application on linux. The
presentation would provide an overview of Mono, a demo of using
Monoppix to run Windows compiled winforms application, a simple
console application and ASP.Net webform. It will also cover using the
integrated development environment and the livecd remastering process.

We meet in Taub building, room 3. For instructions see:

First of all few terms you wish to know:
You need to create a new SIP entry at sip.conf
There are few types of SIP connections that Asterisk defines as follows:
1. peer - read only
2. user - write only
3. friend - read and write

You need on both SIP servers to define something that will be able to
talk to each other called inbound and outbound trunks. The definition
of such trunk will be configured to know to what location to pass the
call.

You need to forward such request (defined at the sip.conf) to a new location.
Asterisk knows how to exit such call by using a context (the right
section in a dial plan).

Asterisk configuration

2007-10-17 Thread Eran Levy
Hi all,

I've a friend which has some businesses in Canada and USA. He asked me to
help him installing Asterisk on his Ubuntu 7 Linux Server. 

I've never did it before and this is my first time installing & using
Asterisk. 

So I started to read some tutorials and successfully installed Asterisk. Now
we are moving step forward to the hardest part: the configuration.

 

He is trying to do the following:

He wants to make his Asterisk server as a "gateway", which knows to receive
incoming calls from a VOIP server to one of the PRIs and forward this call
to a SIP server which is located in the other side.

I'm searching & reading a lot and I understand how to forward incoming calls
to another landline or cell phone, but I can't find the answer, how to
forward those calls to another SIP server. or am I missing something?

 

Can someone help me?

If you need any further information, pls let me know. 

 

Thanks!

Eran
