Echt waar.

waking up badly

Posted by on 18 April 2009 No comments

Yes, thats never a good start of your day :( .

This morning I waked up (I needed to wake up early as I had a appointment at school), and saw a bunch of mails from nagios. Mostly its nothing important, but in this case it said apache was down.
WTF.
Why isnt it automatic restarted by direct admin, or later on by nagios itself? WTF.
Now the complete server was down from like 1.00 till around 8.00. Not a good start of your day…

Last week I wrote already about a schoolproject iam currently busy with. withing this project the goal is to make a wireless connection into school.

This afternoon I finally got my programmer from the UK, and now iam able to program the used microcontroller. Some pics of this can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/paulsohier/sets/72157616592620524/

Hopefully I get tomorrow the first real results with the wireless connection :P

Debian lenny released, time to upgrade

Posted by on 15 February 2009 No comments

Debian lenny is official released yesterday (See for more information the debian site, http://www.debian.org/).
So I decided to upgrade one of the servers of hosthuis.nl, more exact, my dev server basicly. Its hosting mainly our nagios installation, second DNS, some downloads and my dev things. So not really important for most parts :P .
Ofcourse I started with backupping everything that was at the server already. Doing this i found out there there is like 50gig of junk at the server, that can be removed. So its not only a OS upgrade, its nearly a clean start :P . Maybe I just install the complete box again, but iam not sure for that. Depends on certian other things as well.

First we will need to upgrade apt en aptitude. This to be sure there will be no problems later on this traject. This can be done by running
aptitude install aptitude
After running this command both apt and aptitude are updated to lenny.

Now we first do a minimal upgrade by calling
aptitude upgrade
This will upgrade the packages that dont have any problem or something.

after this its time to do the real upgrade, and this can be done easyly by calling
aptitude dist-upgrade

After this is called the full upgrade is done, and we need to wait a bit :P

and lastly we can reboot the server and hope everything goes Ok :D

After this reboot everything works luckily, and we are finished upgrading. I will only need to reinstall nagios3, as nagios2 was removed. This is hopefully not that difficult :P
