LAMP is short for Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP. This tutorial shows how you can install an Apache2 webserver on a CentOS 6.4 server with PHP5 support (mod_php) and MySQL support.

yeah , big buzz around that one

So I decided to check the install process:

1. Clone the repo from

root@webscalesql-5.6.clean:[Mon Mar 31 11:37:11][~]$ cd /opt/
root@webscalesql-5.6.clean:[Mon Mar 31 11:37:15][/opt]$ mkdir installs
root@webscalesql-5.6.clean:[Mon Mar 31 11:37:17][/opt]$ cd installs/
root@webscalesql-5.6.clean:[Mon Mar 31 11:37:19][/opt/installs]$ git clone https://github.com/webscalesql/webscalesql-5.6.git

Percona Live MySQL Conference & Expo - March 31st to April 4th

The Severalnines Team Will Be Onsite at Booth 418 - Come Say Hello!

If you’re still thinking about whether or not you should be attending the Percona Live MySQL Conference & Expo that starts on Monday 31st of March, here are 9 reasons (we are Severalnines after all) on why we’ll be there. May these help you positively in your decision making ;-)

1. The 2014 edition showcases the most promising program yet

Sounds like a cliché-reason to be listed here, but this year’s program is in fact quite diversified …

I wrote previously about Percona Live Santa Clara 2014, and I want to bring to your attention something Percona has done that is very nice to open source communities: have an open source appreciation day.

Its before the conference (so on Monday), and you get a choice between the CentOS Dojo (great lineup there including many from Red Hat, Monty from MariaDB, and PeterZ from Percona) or the OpenStack Today (another great lineup …

I needed to test the new server audit plug-in on latest MariaDB 10.0.9
More info about that handy plug in you may find here : http://www.skysql.com/downloads/mariadb-audit-plugin
Take a moment to read the info, along with that nice blog : http://www.skysql.com/blogs/ralf-gebhardt/activating-auditing-mariadb-and-mysql-5-minutes

In short:

root@mariadb-10.0.9:[Mon Mar 24 07:51:54][/tmp/]$ lftp http://ftp.igh.cnrs.fr/pub/mariadb/mariadb-10.0.9/yum/
cd ok, cwd=/pub/mariadb/mariadb-10.0.9/yum                                   
lftp ftp.igh.cnrs.fr:/pub/mariadb/mariadb-10.0.9/yum> bookmark add mariadb-10.0.9
lftp ftp.igh.cnrs.fr:/pub/mariadb/mariadb-10.0.9/yum> ls
drwxr-xr-x  --  ..                   
drwxr-xr-x            - …

You might don’t know that, but the MariaDB engines are amazing ..
More info you can find here:
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-storage-engines/

I was teased by CONNECT engine : https://mariadb.com/kb/en/connect/

What is good for ? Well, I leave that to your imagination, as you could have MariaDB as a spider connected and managing InnoDB tables, flat files, MS ACCESS databases, MS Excel files … all that in same time.
So how to use it?
By the documentation :
1. https://mariadb.com/kb/en/loading-the-connect-handler/
check if there is CONNECT already installed, if not, install it:

mysql root@mariadb-10.0.7:[Wed Jan 29 09:36:14 2014][(none)]> show …

In short, during an optimization or a MySQL query involving a lot of replace(replace(replace…))) I decided to compile PREG as lib_mysqludf_preg from UDF Repository for MySQL in a view to use PCRE functions directly in MySQL.

Too bad MySQL still cant not use functions for index creation, but this is not the theme of this post.

So, fist install MariaDB 10.0.6:
set the MariaDB 10.0.6 repo, I used the ftp mirror at ftp.ulak.net.tr

root@seik-centos-01:[Wed Dec 18 23:55:12][/tmp]$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/MariaDB.repo

You may think that you already know what's the opposite of "DISABLED", but with MySQL Event Scheduler you'll be wrong.

In fact MySQL Event Scheduler may have three different states[1][2]:

DISABLED -  The Event Scheduler thread does not run [1]. In addition, the Event Scheduler state cannot be changed at runtime.
OFF (default) - The Event Scheduler thread does not run [1]. When the Event Scheduler is OFF it can be started by setting the value of event_scheduler to ON.
ON - The Event Scheduler is started; the event scheduler thread runs and executes all scheduled events.

So if you're going to find it in the DISABLED state and instinctively set it to ENABLED you'll end up with a non-starting MySQL daemon.
Be warned and stay safe out there!
