Red Hat License

Today our task is to install and configure the OpenLDAP in one of our Red Hat server at our client data centre. We thought they already order the license for the Red Hat installation, but sad to say,they just bought only 1 license, which they believe 1 license can be install and used with other Red Hat server.

1 server license is almost RM6,000 or more with premium support.

Wonder how much you need to spend for 14 servers in the data center ? :)

FreeBSD :- Nginx , PHP-FPM

One of my forum that I managed previously used Apache as a web server. From my observation Apache with PHP suck a lot of memory resources but that doesn't hang up the server. So google around and I found others using Apache as a proxy using reverse proxy. While Nginx serve as front end web server. The result is good! Nginx still using minimum memory usage! impressive :) But that's does not stop me from searching other solution that best for the forum, and I found solution for Nginx with PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager). Before that I've tried with spawn-fcgi but the process had died repeatedly. Not satisfied with that I've tried PHP-FPM ! Now stick with Nginx + PHP-FPM very satisfied! :)

Upgrading MySQL to MariaDB

Ever since MariaDB exists, I really like to install and test the performance but time consume for my daily work stopped me to try MariaDB, today I plan to update my MySQL server that serve lot of data in and out to MariaDB 10.0 (today latest version :P ) So there's a few step that should be considered before we can proceed further. 1. BACKUP - Always backup your data at the first place. - Save it to the proper place so that if anything goes wrong, you can export back your data. mysqldump -u root -pYOURPASSWORD --all-databases > allbackup.sql & If you don't want to wait and you know that the current database is big, just put the process at the background so that you can monitor the process using top :) - Backup your current configuration files cp /etc/my.cnf /tmp/my.cnf.bak 2. Let's go If you're installing mysql from webtatic and made a replacing package name , you may encountered an error like Error: mysql55w conflicts with MariaDB-server-5.5....
