Creating A Portable MySQL On CentOS 6 And Ubuntu 11.10 Linux From Sources

falko - Wed, 2012-02-29 07:16

This tutorial shows how to create a portable MySQL installation on GNU/Linux. At the end of this guide you will obtain a portable MySQL installation on a target directory with its own databases, binaries, logs, pid files, etc. Consider always the use of a permission preserving packaging (like TAR) for moving the installation between systems or removable storages.

Tag Sound Files With Easytag (Linux Mint 12)

falko - Mon, 2012-02-27 07:06

This tutorial is supposed to show you how to change your sound files' information like artist or title, also called tags, in a fast way using Easytag. I am using Linux Mint 12 as an operating system, however the steps should not differ greatly from other Ubuntu based distributions. Easytag is only capable of tagging MP3, MP2, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, MP4/AAC, MusePack or Monkey's Audio files.

ISPConfig 3 With Xeround Cloud Database Service

falko - Fri, 2012-02-24 06:54

This tutorial is a companion to any of the Perfect Server tutorials. ISPConfig 3 will not work with the Xeround Cloud database service by default. With minor modifications from this tutorial you will be able to run your Perfect Server without having to manage a database server.

[RESOLVED]Slapd process doesn't stop

Hi,
this is my first topic on this forum.

i need to resolve a problem with a process.
i installed and configured slapd (for ldap server) on debian squeeze but i have this situation:

STATE "A"
slapd is stopped
run "slapd -1 -d" for debug --->it works
checking its pid "pgrep slapd" --->2227
ctrl c to stop slapd ---> slapd is stopped
pgrep slapd ---> empty

STATE "B"
slapd is stopped
run "/etc/init.d/slapd start"--->it works
checking its pid "pgrep slaps"--->2237
stopping slapd "/etc/init.d/slapd stop"---> slapd is stopped
pgrep slapd--->2237 -the process is still active-
starting slapd "/etc/init.d/slapd start" ---> failed

why stopping slapd "/etc/init.d/slapd stop" doesn't free the PID?

hope someone could me explain it!

thanks

Hi I have a Tg582n router and a HPofficejet 5600 printer scanner fax.I have managed to configure my system for the printer to function via the router (takes a while to initiate) but am stumped getting the scanner and fax parts to work. The printer icon under System/Administration/printing shows the green tic plus a ! in the triangle(query this also)on the printer icon. Can anybody offer me any help with this (all printer functions work OK when directly USB'd to the computer)

How To Securely Destroy/Wipe Data On Hard Drives With shred

falko - Wed, 2012-02-22 08:05

Sometimes you need to destroy or wipe data from hard drives (for example, before you sell your old hard drives on eBay) so that nobody else can access them. Simply deleting data (e.g. with rm) is not enough because that just removes the file system pointer, but not the data, so it can easily be undeleted with recovery software. Even zero'ing out your hard drive might not be enough. Here's where shred comes into play - shred can overwrite the files and partitions repeatedly, in order to make it harder for even very expensive hardware probing to recover the data.
