HP donated some nice hardware to kernel.org

Some pretty sweet hardware to the linux kernel developers...

HP has most graciously donated a pair of DL585 quad Opteron servers with 24 GB of RAM and 10 TB of disk using a pair of MSA-30 arrays for each server. The first ones of these servers was officially put in service today; the next one will be put in service next week. Each server is in a different ISC colo, connected to the Internet via gigabit fiber links. Consequently, we should now see incredibly much better performance from kernel.org. Huge thanks to HP for the new hardware, and huge thanks to ISC for letting us quadruple our rack space requirements from 5U to 2x10U. We’ll be saturating those links in no time :)

ubuntu upgrade hosed wordpress

A while ago I upgraded desktop/server at work that holds my work blog from ubuntu 'warty warthog' (initial release) to ubuntu 'hoary hedgehog' (current release). Everything
went just fine except apache2/php4/mysql had some problems and the blog stopped working.

The problem was WordPress 1.5 couldn't connect to mysql, but phpmyadmin could connect just fine. Strange. This is what I ended up doing:


$ sudo apt-get --purge remove apache2 phpmyadmin php4 (and maybe a few others that depended on apache or php)

... verify that /etc/apache2/, /etc/php4 were gone...

$ sudo apt-get install apache2 php4 phpmyadmin


At appears that one of the configuration files for either php4 or apache2 didn't get properly upgraded.

I bought this today in Penacook, NH at the state prisoner arts & craft store for $4.

It is *not* an ashtray made from a NH license plate. It is a *candy dish*.
