Comment on Name-Based Virtual Hosts With nginx on IPv6 by chain

chain — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 14:48:07 +0000

Thank you, this really saved my head banging against the wall.

If you do not specify the listen clauses in the vhosts, you will ALWAYS get the default host for IPv6. Well, first thing was to figure out that it’s actually IPv6 only. Try that in a hybrid network.

Anyways, thanks a lot. Works like a charm!

Comment on Apache on Windows: Serving Files From the Network by mr.b

Here’s what Apache docs have to say about using network resources:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.1/platform/windows.html#windrivemap

Basically, it’s the same thing as you have come up with, but it also provides the answer as to why it doesn’t work the way you’d expect it to work (by simply using mapped drive, for instance).

Cheers!

Comment on Running a Minecraft Server from a RAM Disk by Nameless

Nameless — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 14:27:51 +0000

Wouldn’t you need a pause between these two lines?

screen -p 0 -S minecraft -X eval ‘stuff “save-all”15′
rsync -a –delete-after /srv/mc/ /path/to/minecraft/files/

The screen command wouldn’t wait for minecraft to finish saving, so the script would execute rsync almost immediately after sending the save-all command, before minecraft has had time to save the worlds.

Comment on Move an SVN Repository From One Server to Another by Mauro Spivak

Hey! Thanks for the info.

There is a mistake in the last snippet that got me a bit crazy. It should be:
svn switch --relocate http://newdomain.com/path/to/old/repo http://newdomain.com/path/to/new/repo /path/to/working/copy

Andy Brandt — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 20:30:03 +0000

i had the exact same problem, but running SQL Server 2005, and following your instructions, unblocking the port listed under the IPAll section worked like a charm. thanks!

So, while we’re waiting for Kromey’s Spamguard to reach Beta, what’s the next best thing for people too cheap to use Akismet?

Comment on RAID 10 with mdadm by Nitestick

Nitestick — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 01:22:42 +0000

All good again, it was pretty much what you warned about the mdadm.conf and it assembling the array. When I rebooted it didn’t recognise the array, I did follow your instructions regarding using mdadm –examine –scan –config=mdadm.conf to generate the conf line however I had to manually add the raid level and number of devices for it to work. I’m glad I didn’t try writing anything to it :p, added that line, rebooted again and all I’m a happy man.

Scratch that…only half the file system seems to be detected now but I dare not write anything to it :/

Brilliant post, this helped me a lot. I’m currently building a 4x2TB RAID 10 for my home server and your instructions made it simple and smoothe (aside from me having a blonde moment with fdisk).
