Debian Linux (the underlying foundation of Ubuntu) manages the
startup/shutdown of MySQL quite differently from the ways I am
used to. I am a long-time user of both the MySQL binary provided
by Red Hat/SuSE (along with Fedora and clones like CentOS and
Oracle Enterprise Linux) and the official binary from mysql.com. After the
successful restore of a cold backup, I started
mysqld using the Debian provided init script. The
script said that mysqld failed to start up, but in
reality it did start up. Similarly, stopping mysqld
fails.
The output below demonstrates the outputs and the behavior seen on a Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server:
root:~# ps -ef | grep mysqld root 20165 19926 0 15:12 pts/4 00:00:00 grep mysqld root:~# /etc/init.d/mysql start * Starting MySQL database server mysqld [fail] root:~# ps -ef | grep …[Read more]

Red Hat announcements round-up
Red Hat announced a whole heap of products and projects this

the launch of

virtualization capabilities, while Red Hat and HP partnered to optimize
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for HP BladeSystem Matrix. The
company also revealed that Red Hat Network Satellite …
Goal: Build a PHP 5.3 package, that I can install and upgrade on new ubuntu slices as needed, without having to compile on each box.
This is an amalgamation of different blog posts that did certain things really well, but not everything I wanted. The post I refer to specifically Installing PHP 5.3 on Ubuntu by Brandon Savage .

apt-get install checkinstall
Say yes, and let it follow the dependencies as needed.
Get the development headers for some of the extensions you’ll be compiling in.
