Hurricane Electric IPv6 with FreeBSD 8.3

Figure out how IPv6 is important nowadays, I got to try and deploy on my server and serve the IPv6 to the world to access. Searching around I've got several option for IPv6 Tunnel Broker. We got Hurricane Electric (HE) , Freenet6 (gogo6) and several others provider but the two provider are the most popular right now.

The question ;
- Why we deploy an IPv6 ?

WHY WE DEPLOY AN IPV6 ?
- For me there's no specific answer on this question because it depends on your situation and your needs with IPv6. While we can live with IPv4 , we have to take note that IPv4 allocated address is depreciated and based on HE statistics IPv4 is depreciated on 2012 we don't have any reserved address anymore. If you still want to use IPv4, to allocate the address, you may have to pay more since the address is not much.

- IPv6 is the future of the internet address and we have to prepare on that situation which I think it is important. Let say the world will transform from IPv4 to IPv6, and on that time, are you ready ? :)

Setup ;
- 1 box with a valid IPv4 address.

Step ;
- Register your account with HE at http://www.tunnelbroker.net/
- Setup your IPv4 tunnel and your will get your IPv6 tunnel address as per below


Server IPv4 Address:216.218.221.42
Server IPv6 Address:2001:470:35:3e4::1/64
Client IPv4 Address:10.0.0.1
Client IPv6 Address:2001:470:35:3e4::2/64

MySQL Enterprise thingy

It's been a weird thing when you install MySQL server especially the one that is 'enterprise' version is not working with your PHP. That is the problem that my friend and I facing today. Since PHP require php-mysql extension to connect to MySQL server but php-mysql is only work with mysql-server from the Repos (Redhat/Centos). 1) Remove default mysql-server/php-mysql 2) Install MySQL Enterprise 3) Dependencies conflict occur + headache + install php-mysql shell> yum install php-mysql Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package php-mysql.x86_64 0:5.1.6-27.el5 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: libmysqlclient.so.15(libmysqlclient_15)(64bit) for package: php-mysql --> Processing Dependency: libmysqlclient.so.15()(64bit) for package: php-mysql --> Running transaction check ---> Package mysql.x86_64 0:5.0.77-4.el5_4.2 set to be updated --> Process...

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....
