It’s been a while since I configured the latest Dynamic Mass Virtual Hosting Server. Last time I used mod_vhost_alias to create a dynamic virtual hosting and it worked without any problem for what we need in that time. Then we didn’t care about the ftp and virtual users, the sites was updated from web pages and security was pretty much handled by upload application who managed the virtual hosting. Now, the problem is a little bit changed: We need a secure sever which should support ftp virtual users with quota ...]]> http://www.randombugs.com/php/apache-dynamic-virtual-hosting-php-security.html/feed 1 http://www.randombugs.com/java/glassfish/installing-glassfish-31-cluster-debian-60-command-line.html http://www.randombugs.com/java/glassfish/installing-glassfish-31-cluster-debian-60-command-line.html#comments Wed, 04 May 2011 12:48:05 +0000 admin http://www.randombugs.com/?p=729
Finlay is here. For me, Glassfish 3.1, was one of most awaited piece of software, for all it’s new features and clustering support. Glassfish 3.1 slightly changed the way to install cluster, in a much better and integrated way. This version come with a lot of new functionality, but also with improved parts related to Glassfish 2.1. The most interesting features of Glassfish 3.1 are: Clustering (100 instances per domain), SSH provisioning, Centralized management (with the help of ssh), High Availability Session Persistence, High Availability Java Message Service, RMI-IIOP Load ...]]> http://www.randombugs.com/java/glassfish/installing-glassfish-31-cluster-debian-60-command-line.html/feed 1 http://www.randombugs.com/java/glassfish/glassfish-enhanced-broker-cluster-failed-load-jdbc-driver.html http://www.randombugs.com/java/glassfish/glassfish-enhanced-broker-cluster-failed-load-jdbc-driver.html#comments Thu, 14 Apr 2011 10:44:11 +0000 admin http://www.randombugs.com/?p=721
Is not a bug, but a pretty annoying configuration thing which appear when you try to configure Enhanced Broker Cluster in Glassfish. I configured my persistent store, for Enhanced Broker Cluster, as jdbc / MySQL: [...] imq.persist.jdbc.dbVendor=mysql imq.persist.jdbc.mysql.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.jdbc2.optional.MysqlConnectionPoolDataSource imq.persist.jdbc.mysql.property.url=jdbc\:mysql\://sqlserver\:3306/jms imq.persist.jdbc.mysql.needpassword=true imq.persist.jdbc.mysql.user=jms [...] and after at restart I got the following error: [13/Apr/2011:12:12:30 CEST] [B1060]: Loading persistent data… [13/Apr/2011:12:12:30 CEST] ERROR [B3198]: Error initializing cluster manager: com.sun.messaging.jmq.jmsserver.util.BrokerException: [B3024]: Failed to load JDBC driver: com.mysql.jdbc.jdbc2.optional.MysqlConnectionPoolDataSource at com.sun.messaging.jmq.jmsserver.persist.jdbc.DBManager.(DBManager.java:428) at com.sun.messaging.jmq.jmsserver.persist.jdbc.DBManager.getDBManager(DBManager.java:219) at com.sun.messaging.jmq.jmsserver.persist.jdbc.JDBCStore.(JDBCStore.java:98) ...]]> http://www.randombugs.com/java/glassfish/glassfish-enhanced-broker-cluster-failed-load-jdbc-driver.html/feed 0 http://www.randombugs.com/java/glassfish/snmp-support-glassfish-211-cluster-support.html http://www.randombugs.com/java/glassfish/snmp-support-glassfish-211-cluster-support.html#comments Mon, 14 Mar 2011 11:57:21 +0000 admin http://www.randombugs.com/?p=701
Why you choose SNMP when Glassfish have strong JMX support? I presume, the answer for all who use SNMP is (almost) the same: Because the architecture of current monitoring solution is not scalable enough, and I cannot load my monitoring servers with supplementary JAVA processes. Before starting using SNMP I tried to see what solutions I have: 1. Re-design entire monitoring solution 2. Use SNMP I’m a lazy person, so I choose to add SNMP support for all our clusters . To do that you should do 3 easy steps: 1.

Everyone, with a decent Linux security knowledge, should know about ModSecurity – Open Source Web Application Firewall.

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.

For some reasons the asupgrade tool from Sun Glassfish doesn’t work if you want to upgrade your Glassfish from 2.1 to 2.1.1. The upgrade method what I will present you in the next post, probably, is not recommended by SUN, but it will work in most cases (clustered or not). Just follow this steps: 1. Stop all domains, node agents, instances from all cluster (or only the domain if you have only 1 server) 2. Rename Glassfish folder to g2.1 3.

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/linux/tuning-linux-system-database.html http://www.randombugs.com/linux/tuning-linux-system-database.html#comments Thu, 16 Jul 2009 17:24:13 +0000 admin http://www.randombugs.com/?p=567
In my experiments with databases I was constrained to tune the system together with the databases. A system what will run a database is quite different from any other server system, because databases put a lot of stress on the IO and especially on the disks (probably the file servers too). Hardware is not all you should tune your system as much as possible. In this post I will talk about Linux with Ext3 (is what I have right now), but on future I will test OpenSolaris with ZFS. 1. ...]]> http://www.randombugs.com/linux/tuning-linux-system-database.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 14
