    Your time is limited

    "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

    mysql on Ubuntu







  • mysql -h 192.168.50.93 -P 3307 -u legui -p     (warning, you need "-p")
  • mysql --host 192.168.0.145 --port 3307 --user=search_wip -pxxxxxxxx
  • show databases 
  • use xx


  • Install
    sudo apt-get install mysql-client
    sudo apt-get install mysql-server
    Add this source to your sources.list:
    deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main
    do an apt-get update

  • If the mysql runs on 192.168.0.11
    sudo vi /etc/mysql/my.cnf
    then
    # skip-external-locking
    bind-address = 192.168.0.11
  • it prints this at restart:
    * Checking for corrupt, not cleanly closed and upgrade needing tables.
    It is not an error, it just says that "mysql is" Checking for...
  • to start
    sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
    (don't forget the sudo, otherwise it fails and not very explicit in the error)
  • Enable firewall mysql ports to be open using
    sudo firestarter
    or if the server doesn't have kde
    sudo /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 192.168.0.20/24 -p tcp --destination-port 3306 -j ACCEPT
  • If running a jdbc access from the same machine on Ubuntu, do this first
    mysql -u root -p
    mysql> GRANT ALL ON GG.* TO 'root'@'192.168.0.11';
    or
    mysql> GRANT ALL ON test.* TO 'root'@'192.168.0.11' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION;
    mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
    mysql> commit;
    From phpmysql, you should see a user with the following privileges:
    root 192.168.0.11 global ALL PRIVILEGES Oui
  • You can then connect through DbVisualizer (not putting the db name yet). You can then create the db
    mysql> CREATE DATABASE GG;
    mysql> CREATE TABLE j_2 ( Id int AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, Date Date, Myint integer, Url varchar(255) );
    mysql> commit;
    etc
  • log
    /var/log/mysql/mysql.log
  • helpful
    SHOW DATABASES;
    SHOW GRANTS FOR 'root'@localhost;
    SELECT * FROM j_3 INTO OUTFILE '/toto.txt';
  • Note: This one is a good post:
    http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-enable-remote-access-to-mysql-database-server.html




  • To use phpmyadmin
    you need a root password:

    mysql -u root

    >UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('admin') WHERE User='root'
    >FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

    Also, don't forget to create the link
    sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ phpmyadmin

    /var/www/phpmyadmin/libraries$ vi config.inc.php
    $cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'localhost/phpmyadmin/';
    $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '192.168.0.5';
    $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'mypassword';

    Also, you may want to add the line (it seems it is 3600 sec by default)
    /etc/phpmyadmin$ vi config.inc.php
    $cfg['LoginCookieValidity'] = 10000000;

  • About export/import
    Export:
    mysql -u root -p
    mysql> use test
    mysql> select * from jg_seeds_3 INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/jg_seeds_3.txt'
    Import:
    $ sudo mysqlimport -u root -p GG /tmp/jg_seeds_3.txt
    -> password (mysql pw)
    Please note that the file base name jg_seeds_3 has to match the table name in GG. The file extension (txt here doesn't matter). Put the input file in /tmp since mysql user has all privileges on the folder and all its parents.
  • mysql dump
  • dump:
    mysqldump -h bo-sql-lb-master.be.p1.canon -u bill -p --max_allowed_packet=1073741824 --lock-tables=false stats_fr tb_popu > popu-all.sql
    load:
    mysql -h hostname -u user --password=password databasename < filename

    Fedora admin survival kit

  • Network config
    /usr/bin/system-config-network

    /etc/rc.d/init.d/
    /etc/sysconfig/network

    files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/*

  • Upgrade from Fedora 5 to Fedora 10:
    I get the error: Error enabling swap device hdb3: No such file or directory
    The /etc/fstab on your upgrade partition does not reference a valid swap partition.

    What I did is rename hdb3 by sdb3 in fstab. Then the install worked fine.
    After that, I had to change in /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Driver "i810" to Driver "vesa"

    After that I start having applications that crashed with different errors. I started to be tired of this upgrade, I decided to re-install totally. The Fedora10 installer froze when it asked me for license, no keyboard, mouse inactive (eventhough it was active in the first screen of the installer). I said OK, let's give Ubuntu a try... Using Ubuntu 8.04 I finally could install without issue, no video configuration to change, no application crashing, Ubuntu works for me.

    free.fr

  • PagePerso propose MySql and PostgreSQL but these have to be used from the free.fr server, cannot be accessed directly from the outside.
  • When using the db url jdbc:postgresql://sql.Free.fr/esicdtek:5432
    it seems it is not using the server name at all
  • if you want to put a public machine on your personal freebox LAN, I recommend putting the public machine on your main subnet and using a new router to create a subnet with all the other machines. See

    Heritrix 1

      About Heritrix binaries:
    • To start the Heritrix server at 127.0.0.1:8080, just right click the project on Eclipse and run it.
    • The ARC Writer crawl output goes to:
      C:\tools\Heritrix\archive-crawler\heritrix\jobs
    • Unzip IAH-20090813141952-00000-stutzmann.arc.gz with 7zip
    • run perl C:\tools\Heritrix\ArcExtractor\ArcExtractor.pl
      You get crawled files with names changed, but extensions preserved
    • change in bin/heritrix: JAVA_OPTS=" -Xmx512M"
    • You can shut down through the web interface: http://127.0.0.1:8080/
      About the dev version on Vista:
    • I build the heritrix-1.15.4.jar on Windows using "maven dist" (version 1.0.2). I get a build error that is actually related to the tests (C:\Users\toto\.maven\cache\maven-test-plugin-1.6.2\plugin.jelly), but if you comment out the tests in project.xml, the jar is fine (heritrix-1.15.4.jar in C:\tools\Heritrix\archive-crawler\heritrix\target). I had to use jdk 1.5 because jdk 1.6 would not work because of tools.jar
    • I copy the jar to a Linux heritrix 1.14.3 binary install and rename the existing heritrix-1.14.3.jar to *.old
    • I run it on Linux doing:
      "bin/heritrix --bind=/ --admin=LOGIN:PASSWORD"
    • Note that if you add a writer in the jar file, you can choose it from the web interface from:
      "Profiles", edit your profile, "Modules", and writer
      About Maven (need maven 1.0.2 for Heritrix):
    • to display all the targets:
      maven -g > toto.txt
    • List of targets are in project.xml, see "build" target
    • "dist:" postgoals are described in maven.xml
    • To add a jar like mysql, you need to add it to project.properties and project.xml
