• Can not authenticate to run GParted

  - by alfish

  Whenever I try to run a program from gnome gui, I get message Authenticated is required to run the Gparted Partition Editor The same goes for all programs that need root permission and I try to run from 'System tools' in my gnome-fallback. However the same user can become root in gnome terminal with no problem (I added the user to sudoers). I must mention that I've changed the user's password after OS install, so I think I need to update something but don't know what. I appreciate your hints.

• How to automatically generate html table from image in Linux?

  - by alfish

  In Photoshop, you can easily devide the image into zones using point and click and it automatically generates the corresponding html with image slices addressed in tables. Gimp also has a Slice (Filter Web Slice) but it is so rudimentary and, as far as I can see, does not allow point and click selection of slices. I am wondering if the functionality can be added into Gimp, or there are other Linux software to do this. I hate to return to Windows jut to do this simple task which I happen to use frequently. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

• s3cmd fails too many times

  - by alfish

  It used to be my favorite backup transport agent but now I frequently get this result from s3cmd on the very same Ubuntu server/network: root@server:/home/backups# s3cmd put bkup.tgz s3://mybucket/ bkup.tgz -> s3://mybucket/bkup.tgz [1 of 1] 36864 of 2711541519 0% in 1s 20.95 kB/s failed WARNING: Upload failed: /bkup.tgz ([Errno 32] Broken pipe) WARNING: Retrying on lower speed (throttle=0.00) WARNING: Waiting 3 sec... bkup.tgz -> s3://mybucket/bkup.tgz [1 of 1] 36864 of 2711541519 0% in 1s 23.96 kB/s failed WARNING: Upload failed: /bkup.tgz ([Errno 32] Broken pipe) WARNING: Retrying on lower speed (throttle=0.01) WARNING: Waiting 6 sec... bkup.tgz -> s3://mybucket/bkup.tgz [1 of 1] 28672 of 2711541519 0% in 1s 18.71 kB/s failed WARNING: Upload failed: /bkup.tgz ([Errno 32] Broken pipe) WARNING: Retrying on lower speed (throttle=0.05) WARNING: Waiting 9 sec... bkup.tgz -> s3://mybucket/bkup.tgz [1 of 1] 28672 of 2711541519 0% in 1s 18.86 kB/s failed WARNING: Upload failed: /bkup.tgz ([Errno 32] Broken pipe) WARNING: Retrying on lower speed (throttle=0.25) WARNING: Waiting 12 sec... bkup.tgz -> s3://mybucket/bkup.tgz [1 of 1] 28672 of 2711541519 0% in 1s 15.79 kB/s failed WARNING: Upload failed: /bkup.tgz ([Errno 32] Broken pipe) WARNING: Retrying on lower speed (throttle=1.25) WARNING: Waiting 15 sec... bkup.tgz -> s3://mybucket/bkup.tgz [1 of 1] 12288 of 2711541519 0% in 2s 4.78 kB/s failed ERROR: Upload of 'bkup.tgz' failed too many times. Skipping that file. This happens even for files as small as 100MB, so I suppose it's not a size issue. It also happens when I use put with --acl-private flag (s3cmd version 1.0.1) I appreciate if you suggest some solution or a lightweight alternative to s3cmd. Thanks

• What iowait values are ok?

  - by alfish

  I am trying to find the bottleneck of a server running a fairly busy php/mysql site. My first culprit was io but iostat shows that on average iowait consumes only %3.60 of cpu time. here is the complete result of issuing iostat: avg-cpu: %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle 65.78 0.00 8.52 3.60 0.00 22.10 Device: tps Blk_read/s Blk_wrtn/s Blk_read Blk_wrtn sda 42.36 138.28 1754.70 408630278 5185216128 So I am wondering if the iowait is within acceptable range, and if not, whether switching from SATA to SSD would dramatically reduce it?

• Varnish Error 503 Service Unavailable

  - by alfish

  On Debian I have Varnish cache in front of apache and get 503 error when I try to get urls which are rarely fetched.

• How to secure memcached?

  - by alfish

  In Debian, I have installed memcached (using this guide) to lower the otherwise unmanageable load on mysql database. The database is on a separate server, and memcached and Varnish are on the front server. Is it a potential security hole to leave memcached unprotected by a firewall? If so, how should I secure it? The situation is especially worrisome,as I've received (unproved) reports of cookie thefts on the server. Thanks

• How to automatically resume php-fpm?

  - by alfish

  I am using nginx+php-fpm on Debian Squeeze for a busy server and have had great difficulty to deal with maximum connections being reached. Here the problem is that php processes sometimes just die randomly under high load and leave the server with no php process. Then I need to manually restart php5-fpm service to bring back the server to life. I am wondering how to avoid this to happen, or at least treat the symptoms by restarting the php5-fpm automatically whenever there is not php process left to listen to incoming requests. My relevant configs are: pm = dynamic pm.max_children = 1400 pm.start_servers = 10 pm.max_spare_servers = 20 pm.process_idle_timeout = 1s; #not sure it will be useful when pm=dynamic pm.max_requests = 100000 request_terminate_timeout = 30 I appreciate your suggestions to cope with this nasty problem.

• How to set up memcached to use unix socket?

  - by alfish

  While I could use memcached on Debian to use the default 11211 port, but I've had great difficulty setting up unix socket, Form what I'v read, I know that I need to create a memcache.socket and add -s /path/to/memcache.socket -a 0766 To /etc/memcached.conf and comment out the default connection port and IP, i.e. -p 11211 -l 127.0.0.1 However, when I restart memcached I get internal server errors on Drupal site. I'm trying to implement unix sockets to avoid TCP/IP overhead and boost overal memcached performance, however not sure how much performance gain one can expect of this tweak. I appreciate your hints or possibly configs to to resolve this.

• How to find malicious IPs?

  - by alfish

  Cacti shows irregular and pretty steady high bandwidth to my server (40x the normal) so I guess the server is udnder some sort of DDoS attack. The incoming bandwidth has not paralyzed my server, but of course consuming the bandwidth and affects performance so I am keen to figure out the possible culprits IPs add them to my deny list or otherwise counter them. When I run: netstat -ntu | awk '{print $5}' | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n I get a long list of IPs with up to 400 connections each. I checked the most numerous occurring IPs but they come from my CDN. So I am wondering what is the best way to help monitor the requests that each IP make in order to pinpoint the malicious ones. I am using Ubuntu server. Thanks

• How to arrange 2 SSD with 2 SATA?

  - by alfish

  I like to have best io performance as well as good capaciyy and reliability out of a server that hosts a busy forum, which involves loads of static files download. I am wondering what is the best plan to format and use the disks given that the server has only 4 disk bays and I have 2 SSD and 2 SATA disks at hand. I am currently thinking about putting the disks in RAID 10 so that SSD contains /var/lib/mysql as well as most of the OS (Likely to be Debian) and SATA disk to contain /path/to/static/files. However I'd like to hear your expert opinion on this. Thanks
