I am torn between showing the whole thing as a wall of shame item or just ranting about an anonymous (open source) user management product. It’s not alone in this sin, I’ve seen the same problem in *expensive* database driven shopping cart and user management apps.
What problem is this that I am speaking of? [...]

Did a not exactly smooth migration to my new webserver today. Found out that Debian 5/Lenny seems to have completely broken suPHP. It can’t correctly figure out the DocumentRoot anymore for some reason. It complains to error log ‘SoftException in Application.cpp:202: Script “x” resolving to “x” not within configured docroot’ – except it is [...]

Yup, it’s SysOp here. I know, it’s been a while but I’ve been busy and there have been a lot of changes. On with the post though!
Well I made the leap to Windows 7 after having to buy a new laptop (long story short the desktop is dead). Upon upgrading to Win7 RC1, [...]

Bryan Cantrill over at Sun Fishworks wrote an Excellent Blog Post on why SPECsfs sucks. Go read it. Seriously. You need to. Then start to wonder about all the other “benchmarks” SPEC publishes. The blog post there explains WHY you can’t get affordable storage from big vendors, and why all of it’s performance [...]

So, as some of you might know, I built a new server. Haven’t been able to put it into production mostly because of lack of time. Then when I had time I was noticing strange drive issues. My SATA drives were going online and offline somewhat randomly. This went on for about two months while [...]

Let me count the ways, here’s #2 (see the previous post on yum for #1)….
[root@vps0 security]# md5sum access.conf*
1ab9971e4ec0682b89aaff29fea6de9e access.conf
1ab9971e4ec0682b89aaff29fea6de9e access.conf.rpmnew
[root@vps0 security]#
Why the hell is it creating a .rpmnew file for an IDENTICAL *CONFIG* file? Hell even the (modification) timestamps are identical!

While doing a template fetch onto our Virtuozzo machine. A template fetch really just downloads every configured application (this is different from say EVERY application to create a mirror, it just downloads applications configured, and their dependencies). So it’s running yum in download-only mode.
