[SLUG] Mysql won't start
Hi all I have a severe problem: It started with mysqdump not working: $ mysqldump --add-drop-table kiddev sys_fid mysqldump: unrecognized option `--max_allowed_packet=16M' mysqldump Ver 8.21 Distrib 3.23.49, for pc-linux-gnu (i686) I restarted mysqld but it stopped but won't restart! vs:/usr/bin# /etc/init.d/mysql start Starting MySQL database server: mysqld...failed. I know that this script actually called safe_mysqld so I started working backwards to find out where it is failing. I tried to start with safe_mysqld but that fails. It won't start but I can get it to start with this: -/usr/bin/safe_mysqld -no-defaults /var/log/mysql.err just has the last time that it was shutdown, no errors there to give me a clue. Im using mysql Ver 11.16 Distrib 3.23.49, for pc-linux-gnu (i686) Is there a more verbose option to start to tell me more info maybe?

I have uploaded a web based CD to our Moodle setup, but all the links

some reading but it is already installed). I am looking for the lazy way
out of going through and editing all the links in the html files or
renaming all the disc files, is there a solution? NB there are hundreds

Totally untested (other than checking it compiles).
Install and load mod_perl, then put this file in
/usr/share/perl5/Apache/IgnoreCase.pm (or wherever other Apache/foo.pm
modules are on your distro), then put something like this in your
httpd.conf (a Location block would be fine too):
Directory /path/to/my/web/based/cd
PerlFixupHandler Apache::IgnoreCase
/Directory
(How do you people use Apache without mod_perl?)
package Apache::IgnoreCase;
use Apache::Constants ':common';
use strict;
use warnings;

my $path = $_[0];

Re: [SLUG] DirecPC under Linux (Telstra Sattelite)
At Wed, 22 Jun 2005 01:16:25 +0930, Ryan Verner wrote: Anybody had any experiences setting up 1-way DirecPC (Telstra Bigpond) satellite with an uplink through an NT1+II USB ISDN modem on Linux? err, yes. Its an extremely common setup for one of the boxes from my company. The DirecPC USB modem is a Hughes Network Systems (HNS) Sattelite Device, model ISU-R1. I seem to remember some commercial software a few years ago to achieve this, but I can't seem to find anything (at least, even remotely recent). As I recall it, there used to be some limited linux software from hughes themselves and even more limited free drivers elsewhere. To the point where we decided to develop our own drivers from scratch (almost entirely written by Herbert Xu). Now that the DW6000s are everywhere (ethernet based, no drivers needed) and the drivers are no longer a significant competitive advantage for us, Ursys could probably think about releasing the code. The main problem is that since the 4.2 release of the satellite system, a significant amount of user-level code is also required for various tunnels, key management, multicast support, commissioning, some proprietary PEP protocol used by most TCP connections, etc, etc. Unfortunately, this user-level code is tightly tied to our other pieces of software and wouldn't be particularly useful once cut out. It would be a significant undertaking for someone to turn it all back into working code again. Given the near-end-of-life of the DW3000/DW4000 range, I don't think anyone would (or should) expend that sort of effort now. If I were you, I'd seriously consider just buying a router from us (http://www.urnet.com.au/) - they're a little expensive for private use, but all the hard work is done and if you want to do VPNs over satellite then we have some features that would definately interest you. Failing that, your only real choices are: - get a two-way service and DW6000 from telstra - but you won't be able to do one-way stuff with it without layering some tunnel of your own on top, or policy routing certain traffic flows to the ISDN. - run the windows drivers and try to get a windows box to be your gateway/firewall. I think I even heard of someone who got that to work once. - beat on the sourceforge drivers and see if they support enough features to be useful for you. -- - Gus -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

I hunted the problems down just by running 'mysqld' at the command line.
It'll spew about 400 lines of crap when it dies -- it's the first line or
two which are interesting. Edit my.cnf to remove that option, run again.
There'll be about 4 directives that will screw it up. When it's running
right, it won't spew at you, it'll just sit there and not drop you back to a
prompt. Run /etc/init.d/mysql restart in another xterm, and it'll all just
work again.

Re: [SLUG] Re: Mysql won't start
you should have a /var/log/mysql/
directory what does the error log say? if you don't what does
/var/log/messages say?
You might just have a syntax problem in your cnf file if you remove your option.

[SLUG] Mysql won't start
Hi all
Thanks Matt and Kevin, you were right - the /etc/my.cnf had 5 config options in there that
should not have been there for the binary/version I was running.
max_allowed_packet = 16M
query_cache_limit= 1048576
query_cache_size= 16777216
query_cache_type= 1
max_binlog_size
/var/log/mysql/mysql.err didn't show anything, it was /var/lib/mysq/myhostname.err
that I needed to look at. Tailing it as I tried to start the daemon showed each config option
being rejected so I commented them out one-by-one.
The question is why? When apt-get updates a binary and a new config file is needed it should have alerted
me to the changes. Usually Debian saves the old one as my.cnf.org. This put down a production server for
a 1/2 day.

[SLUG] LDAP Handouts Hot and Ready for Tonight
Dear Folks, I am talking tonight about how I set up LDAP in my previous work, including plenty of practical stuff and war stories. The handouts are ready at http://nicku.org/slug-talks/ldap-slug-talk/ldap-slug-talk-handout.pdf. The slides I'll use are at http://nicku.org/slug-talks/ldap-slug-talk/ldap-slug-talk.pdf. Don't worry, both have identical content. The LaTeX source is at http://nicku.org/slug-talks/ldap-slug-talk/ldap-slug-talk.tex; you can browse the directory. This is also identical to the material at the links given at http://slug.org.au/. If you are interested, I suggest that you get a copy of the notes to follow in the talk, as I may have to skimp over many things in the short time available tonight. -- Nick Urbanik RHCE http://nicku.org nicku(at)nicku.org Proud ex-member of Dept. of Information Communications Technology in Hong Kong IVE (Tsing Yi), Home of Visual Paradigm: Jolt Productivity Award winner, programmed by ICT's own graduates!
