Drupal Access Denied but Permission are Correct
Posted on January 28, 2008 | 18 CommentsRan across this one today. Upgrading a site with some custom work from 4.7 to 5.6. Obviously the testing of the upgrade is going on is a development environment but we ran into a problem with anonymous users being denied access. Well, a quick check of the access control records proved that anonymous users did in fact have the Access Content permission. Hmmmm.... what else could it be. -

How will Sun Make Up the Price for Acquiring MySQL
Posted on January 25, 2008 | No CommentsI am sure you have heard the news by now. Yup, Mysql was acquired by Sun. Can someone say $1 billion? Wow. Sounds like an NPV, is it wise? Well, the open source community seems to be mostly "for" the acquisition and some business analyst seem to be leaning toward "what are they thinking".

Posted on January 17, 2008 | No CommentsFunny, isn't it. The way things may have been setup on a network years ago and everyone thought were running fine. Then one day, small little niggly, nuisance things start happening. That is exactly what we were dealing with yesterday.
At a particular site, users had reported periodically being unable to browse to internal/LAN websites. A reboot or an ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew would resolve it. Periodic, non-reproducible issues I don't like but they happen all the time.
So, a quick rundown of the environment:
Ubuntu 6.06 Server LTS – Adding support for SMP
Posted on January 8, 2008 | No CommentsNow that we have had our server working well following our previous instructions, it is now time to tweak some more. Actually, many folks probably thinks this is more thank a tweak and really a necessity. I'd agree with that. Why? Well you just purchased a dual, quad core Xeon server to be fast. Fast is alot of things but certainly processing power is one of those key pieces.
Go to the shell prompt on your server and run the following command:
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep '^processor' | wc -l
Ubuntu 6.06 Server LTS Installation on Dell PE 2950 / PERC5
Posted on January 3, 2008 | No CommentsYesterday we finished the installation of a new server. There has been alot of discussion about how to install Ubuntu 6.06 onto a Dell PowerEdge 2950 server with a PERC 5 RAID controller. Really the discussion has been about support for the PERC 5 controller and linux kernel's earlier than 2.6.17. The megaraid_sas driver is needed but not properly handled in Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.
