I searched over internet, on several tens of posts, to find how to delete a crashed Innodb table. Short story: I tried to import a big table but it crashed in the middle of the process (power failure). The table was not very important so I didn’t care about the table, I just want to delete it and start from the scratch, but surprise! The table cannot be deleted! I use the latest MySQL Innodb plugin from Debian backports repository (is coming with Debian 5.1.xx) with file per table ...]]> http://www.randombugs.com/linux/crash-innodb-table.html/feed 0 http://www.randombugs.com/linux/compile-configure-modqos-prevent-slowloris-ddos-apache-2-debian-lenny-distribution.html http://www.randombugs.com/linux/compile-configure-modqos-prevent-slowloris-ddos-apache-2-debian-lenny-distribution.html#comments Tue, 04 May 2010 20:00:13 +0000 admin http://www.randombugs.com/?p=650
mod_qos is becoming a very popular module for Apache, from the discover of Slowloris DDoS Attack. It seems, mod_qos is the best solution for Slowloris attack on Apache 2, but you can also check mod_evasive, mod_security or http accelerator “Varnish”. In this post I will try to present a step by step tutorial how to install mod_qos and configure to prevent Slowloris DDoS attack.

A lot of people are not satisfied by the default Java Logging (JUL) in Glassfish. Also, myself I encountered some problems on clustered environments where we should have one single log and not one log for each instance. Trying to change the logging system in Glassfish it looks to be almost impossible , but I found a very interesting project java.util.logging to log4j Bridge and the sky become more clear for Glassfish logging. Jul to Log4J Bridge are part of log4J project and is very useful when you ...]]> http://www.randombugs.com/java/glassfish/changing-logging-system-glassfish-21.html/feed 0 http://www.randombugs.com/java/dbappender-log4j-12.html http://www.randombugs.com/java/dbappender-log4j-12.html#comments Thu, 24 Sep 2009 20:19:46 +0000 admin http://www.randombugs.com/?p=595
Initially, DBAppender for Log4j was introduced in version 1.3 of Log4j, but this version was ABANDONED by Apache team. DBAppender is very useful when we want to send our log on a JNDI resource and not on standard JDBC or file. If you need just logging in a database for your application, then you should use JDBCAppender. If you want to log on a JNDI or Database Connection Pool the DBAppender is for you. In this post I will show you how to get, compile and quick test the DBAppender. 1. ...]]> http://www.randombugs.com/java/dbappender-log4j-12.html/feed 5 http://www.randombugs.com/java/javalangsecurityexception-jce-authenticate-provider-bc.html http://www.randombugs.com/java/javalangsecurityexception-jce-authenticate-provider-bc.html#comments Mon, 10 Aug 2009 09:57:57 +0000 admin http://www.randombugs.com/?p=577
Trying to integrate BouncyCastle Cryptography provider in Java can be a nightmare. I read a lot of forums messages about “JCE cannot authenticate the provider BC” and I didn’t find any clear response. After several hours of tweaking and digging I found the main reason of the problem. If you want to use BouncyCastle as Security provider then install it directly on your Java Virtual Machine and remove any library of bc from your application. How to install correctly Bouncy Castle on your JVM: First for Ubuntu/Debian users you should look ...]]> http://www.randombugs.com/java/javalangsecurityexception-jce-authenticate-provider-bc.html/feed 3 http://www.randombugs.com/linux/compiling-sysbench-0412-debian.html http://www.randombugs.com/linux/compiling-sysbench-0412-debian.html#comments Thu, 09 Jul 2009 14:09:09 +0000 admin http://www.randombugs.com/?p=556
On the Linux market are a lot of distributions and every distribution is unique in his way. Is normal to have different compilers and tools from distribution to distribution so is almost normal to have programs what doesn’t compile on all distributions. sysbench 0.4.12 is one of them. Anyway the solution is simple and I will describe it very quickly how to compile sysbench under Debian. Probably it will work for other distributions if you have the same problem. Let’s start with the error. I run the normal steps to ...]]> http://www.randombugs.com/linux/compiling-sysbench-0412-debian.html/feed 9 http://www.randombugs.com/linux/vmware-webservice-gsoap.html http://www.randombugs.com/linux/vmware-webservice-gsoap.html#comments Fri, 26 Jun 2009 15:12:04 +0000 admin http://www.randombugs.com/?p=529
For me one of the most annoying thing from VMware is the VMware Infrastructure Client, because it doesn’t support Linux. Every-time when I want to manage some machines, or I want to see the IP/Status/etc of some machines, I need to log on on some Windows Server and run the VMware Infrastructure Client from there. Because I’m running exclusively on Linux (Debian 5.0.1 Lenny) on my workstation, this can be very annoying. Anyway, VMware VirtualCenter is exposing to us a set of web services who can control your VMware ESX ...]]> http://www.randombugs.com/linux/vmware-webservice-gsoap.html/feed 0 http://www.randombugs.com/tuning/compile-install-run-modlimitipconn-apache2-debian.html http://www.randombugs.com/tuning/compile-install-run-modlimitipconn-apache2-debian.html#comments Mon, 22 Jun 2009 17:17:48 +0000 admin http://www.randombugs.com/?p=509
Limiting abusers from running 20 download threads from the same Apache server is easy now with mod_limitipconn. But the apache 2 module, mod_limitipconn, is not available under the latest Debian distribution, Lenny. In this mini how-to I will show you how-to manage this module to work for Debian Lenny users. The compile process of mod_limitipconn is a little bit more than “make install”. First install apache prefork development utilities (we need apxs2 to compile our module) [rb@randombugs]# apt-get install apache2-prefork-dev After that, download source code of iplimit module from http://dominia.org/djao/limitipconn2.html and unpack it [rb@randombugs]# ...]]> http://www.randombugs.com/tuning/compile-install-run-modlimitipconn-apache2-debian.html/feed 3
