performance hit for LAMP server
by rohit bhute 05 Nov '07

05 Nov '07

We are facing a peculiar problem. I'm providing as much details as I can. Even so, tell me if I should provide more info. LAMP server before install - RHEL 3 with Apache 2, PHP 4, MySQL 4. After install - RHEL 5, Apache 2.2.3, PHP 5.1.6, MySQL 5.0.2 The problem we are facing is the site performing badly when accessed from certain locations - from our corporate LAN, which is behind Squid. Certain colleagues in other companies (we suspect behind they are also behind Squid or some proxy) also reported with gemeric messages like "site isn't loading". Some symptoms are: 1. Images, CSS, JS files not loading or loading incompletely. 2. If we view source, we see the HTML is fully downloaded, but not rendered. 2. PHP pages being asked to be saved (the saved pages are blank) This problem is prominently noticeable in PHPMyAdmin. 3. The performance improves 9may be illusion) over time, but any new drastic changes brings it to square one. 4. Awstats page takes forever to load comletely. 5. Sometimes the sites are inaccessible in toto. 6. Files not downloading through FTP (even 200K fails). The perplexing thing is I and my colleague have accessed the server from home (Triband and cable net respectively) and everything works! We don't know what the problem is, where it is, etc. Any ideas? -- Rohit V. Bhute http://rvbhute.org/

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Announce: November 2007 GLUG meet at HBCSE
by Roshan N Baladhanvi 04 Nov '07

04 Nov '07

Since, there's just one topic, this GLUG-meet I have a small suggestion. I repeat, *suggestion*. Pradeepto - Beginner's guide to Qt and/or KDE 3.5.8 demo? (superkaramba themes, icons etc.) OR Vihan - Getting started with GCC (The C, compiler) (Probably a series of GNU tools - GNU Nano, and so on) Ofcourse, this could be possible only if they have time (and if there's just enough time after the first presentation). :) Any comments? http://www.ubuntu-in.org

Ubuntu Studio.
by Rony 03 Nov '07

03 Nov '07

Hello All, The November issue of PC world has an ISO of Ubuntu Studio in its DVD. The DVD does not mount automatically in Ubuntu but in Debian4 it mounts as a numerical user and group 401. It can be accessed as root. The Ubuntu Studio iso is about 900 MB so a DVD will be required to burn it. Ubuntu Studio is basically the Ubuntu 7.04, power packed with multimedia applications. Installation is smooth but in between package installation, it takes long pauses to do something in the background (off the net) , so don't worry and let it go on. It will ask you for max. screen resolution and I could get 1280 x 1024 on my p4 2.4 + 845 desktop. When playing any media, it will seek plugins so simply say yes to let it search for them from the net and install automatically. Overall it is a nice distro for home and multimedia users. -- Regards, Rony. Knock Knock Who's There? Linux Who Linux? GNU/Linux

Wiki down?
by Siddhesh Poyarekar 03 Nov '07

03 Nov '07

Hi, Why does the wiki keep going down? I've been trying to access it for the past two days but to no avail. The website OTOH, is working fine. Why don't we host the wiki as the main website itself? The website anyways is rarely updated. -- Siddhesh Poyarekar http://siddhesh.in

BIND problem
by Omkar Raut 02 Nov '07

02 Nov '07

Hi we run a redhat 9 machine(default install) which is used as DSN server. I am observing a problem with the bind service. BIND version= bind 9.2.1-16 It suddenly stops responding to the DNS queries once in 2-3 days. Previously we used to solve this problem by restarting the service, when it was happenning once in 1 or 2 weeks. But now we cannot restart bind service, it gives following error on 'service named restart': error => rndc: recv failed: operation canceled Moreover when I try 'service named status' there is no output and I have to manually kill this command by using Ctrl+C Any clues? Regards, Omkar.

This slashdot post http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/10/30/2113200 [OpenDocument Foundation To Drop ODF] is about a nobody-organization called the OpenDocument Foundation, having nothing to do with OASIS, proponents of the ODF. The shills have already been unmasked by some knowledgeable slashdot posters. Please don't get upset.

Get the latest version (0.5.0-10) from Debian, http://packages.debian.org/sid/ayttm or from, http://ayttm.sourceforge.net/files.shtml You will feel better since it is GTK2 port. Thanks to great work of Siddhesh! -- Cheers, ----------------------------------------------------------- Kartik Mistry || GPG: 0xD1028C8D || IRC: kart_ kartikmistry.org/blog || kartikm.wordpress.com ----------------------------------------------------------
