Fix protocol

The message fields in fix proto are delimited using the ASCII 01 character.

cat fix.log |sed -e 's/\o001/ /g'

keep in mind

find ./ -name config.php | while read i; do perl -i -ple 's/dodfdfdfsss44/ksfh7sfhlhs8/g' $i ; done

analyze this

my favorite log analyze tool

cat /var/log/apache2/access.log.1 |grep '" 200' | awk '{print $7}' |sort| uniq -c |sort -rn |more

my ip from command line

wget -q -O - checkip.dyndns.org|sed -e 's/.*Current IP Address: //' -e 's/<.*$//'

nginx core dump backtrace

add strings to nginx.conf

worker_rlimit_core 500m;

restart nginx.

Follow to /path/to/corefiles and wait for segfault :)

then gdb /path/to/nginx /path/to/core

inside gdb input bt

ext4 disable journal

At one high loaded web project I needed a very fast file system. I decided to use Ext4 with disabled journal (As a google:))).

# Create ext4 fs on /dev/sda10 disk
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda10

# Enable writeback mode. This mode will typically provide the best ext4 performance.
tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/sda10

# Delete has_journal option
tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/sda10

# Required fsck
e2fsck -f /dev/sda10

# Check fs options
dumpe2fs /dev/sda10 |more

For more performance add fstab opions: data=writeback,noatime,nodiratime
i.e:
/dev/sda10 /opt ext4 defaults,data=writeback,noatime,nodiratime 0 0

Tested at non-boot partition ;)

Enable mysql replication on production server

How to add slave mysql server without stopping master?

Bin-logging must be enabled on master. Then just dump all data from master:

mysqldump  --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf -BA --master-data | gzip > /pathtogzipfile/filename

This command dump all data from master and store master "binlog filename" and log position.

Copy gzipped dump to slave. Ungzip and apply (mysql < yourfile.sql). Execute "slave start;" (slave must be configured for replication before this step :)
