domains yahoo

Wednesday 28 November 2007 @ 12:09 pm

Have you use yahoo domains? I have one domain name with yahoo and a few days ago it was going to expire, for my surprice I receive a mail from yahoo domain registration telling me this and that my domain will be renewed automatically, that I have not to do anything!

That was cool! Sometimes I dont have time to monitor my domains expiring dates, my other domain registrant also warning me that a domain is going to expire, 15 days early, but sometimes I forget that the 1 days have passes and my domain expire.

I think thats a very goog feature of yahoo domains, since 2 years using it i have no complaints for them.

I also want to test yahoo web hosting, anyone has some expreience to share?




ImageMagick missing fonts

Wednesday 22 August 2007 @ 12:07 pm

If you are not seeing text on your secure code or secure image, there is a proble with the fonts on your system.
Try looking at your logs to see if this is the case, you will find a line like this:

convert: unable to read font `/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/n019003l.pfb’

To solve the problem you should install the fonts, in the shell type this:

sudo yum install ghostscript-fonts




Apache wont start

Saturday 21 July 2007 @ 11:38 am

I am running my own server for 5 months with no problems but yesterday my apache didnt want to start, no errors (only warnings), i have not make any changes to the configuration, I was really scared.
The first thing I tried to do was modify my apache config (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf) after changing and modifying nothing happened.
Then checked my logs /var/log/httpd/ and find:
[Fri Jul 20 18:57:26 2007] [emerg] (28)No space left on device: Couldn’t create accept lock

But I have plenty of disk space, so why this is happening?

There were myriads of semaphore-arrays left, owned by my apache-user.
ipcs -s | grep apache
Removing this semaphores immediately solved the problem.
I just typed this via SSH and the problem was solved:

ipcs -s | grep apache | awk ‘ { print $2 } ‘ | xargs ipcrm sem
