Tomcat 6 with logrotate
Quit a few of my clients purport to being professional Java developers. The problem I have with such a statement is that they always use Tomcat and never know how to set it up. Now, I am not saying that they are not professionals. I am saying that I try and understand the tools with which I make a living and most of the people I have trained are the same way. Anyway, the number one problem I always get asked to fix is log rotation.
Migrate Redmine from MySQL to MariaDB
I recently switched from MySQL to MariaDB. As a result my Redmine installation decided to rebel and I, of course, didn’t even notice until a user informed me. The error message that Redmine (ruby actually) threw was not at all cryptic:
“Incorrect MySQL client library version! This gem was compiled for 5.1.63 but the client library is 5.2.13-MariaDB.”
