[gentoo-server] mysql-4.1

I see that MySQL-4.1 has been marked stable... anyone have any warnings I should heed 
before undertaking the upgrade (from 4.0.25-r2)? Francesco, you still lurking?

Hi,

I've upgraded my test server yesterday, and it went as documented, the 
only thing revdep-rebuild didn't do was for mod_php, appart from that, 
the migration was done in less than 15 minutes (on a bi-opteron 248 4Go)

all you need to do is the follow step by step what's written here :
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/mysql-upgrading.xml

have fun !

Running it now - up to the revdep-rebuild stage and no problems.  On an
existing mysql installation, the emerge stops with a message and points
you to an upgrade guide
("http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/mysql-upgrading.xml").  There is a
paragraph (with warnings) at the bottom for a faster method.  Iam using
the implied "its safer" way!

The slower process involves taking a copy of your existing msql
installation (binaries+databases), emerge -C'ing mysql, rm -rf'ing the
remnants, install/rebuilding deps and then restoring the DB.  Count on
downtime!

revdep-rebuild came up clean.  However, so far I have discovered postfix
and mythtv are both broken, and probably the remote myth boxes as well.
To be expected, but this is going to time consuming.  If revdep-rebuild
is useless here, how can I find what apps I need to fix - I still have
PHP to check and who knows what else :(

Yes, I've spent some time with a user that had problem upgrading a phpBB 
site.


first: a duplicate primary key, reproduce case below

========= failed insert ===========
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `t1`;
CREATE TABLE `t1` (
  `f1` varchar(50) binary NOT NULL default '',
  primary KEY  (`f1`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM;


/*!40000 ALTER TABLE `t1` DISABLE KEYS */;
LOCK TABLES `t1` WRITE;
INSERT INTO `t1` VALUES ( 0x686D6D),( 0x686D6DB2);
/*!40000 ALTER TABLE `t1` ENABLE KEYS */;

--ERROR 1062 (23000) at line 10: Duplicate entry 'hmm' for key 1
========= failed insert ===========

the duplicate key is "hmm" with "hmm²"

Another problem was MySQL importing truncated fields, 
the fields where truncated at charachter with dieresis.

The solution here was to pipe the dump through iconv:

# iconv -f ISO-8859-15 -t UTF-8 dump.sql | mysql 

The other problem was with php-4 and the well known connection charset 
problem.

To be sincere we 've not solved the last one in a satisfing way, but 
this is my fault, it's way too much time I've setted up my boxes to 
work with php-5 and mysql-4.1.

odd, wich version of "app-portage/gentoolkit" do you have installed, 
look like you're not alone having this issue.

I followed that and I wasn't able to restore my backup.  Specifically,
the snort database was screwed up:

frank2k3 ccovington # cat BACKUP_MYSQL_4.0.SQL | mysql -uroot
-hlocalhost --max_allowed_packet=16M
ERROR 1005 (HY000) at line 1813: Can't create table './snort/data.frm'
(errno: 150)

So I'm still using 4.0.25

Current stable here. Not the first time revdep-rebuild is blind on one
eye. I had to rebuild libwww, mod_php and php "manually", so far.

Hey list,

I too had problems with a single database that didn't restore correct.. 
A rather large one (a few mb's) that was in a single line in the 
backupfile that was suggested in the guide. After I removed that line 
from the guide, the databases restored correctly and I had no other 
problems upgrading mysqld.

So now I'm running two mysqld's - one for the db that didn't restore, 
and one for all the others. Just untill I , or someone else , find out 
how to do this so it works.

Just my .02,

Re: [gentoo-server] mysql-4.1

Hey list,

I had no problem doing revdep-rebuild during my upgrade ( I too followed 
that guide ).
I'm using app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.0-r2 , dev-php/mod_php-4.4.0-r3 , 
dev-php/php-4.4.0-r1 and net-libs/libwww-5.4.0-r3 ..
Those got rebuild without a problem by revdep-rebuild .. Also it rebuild 
eggdrop and some other minor things.

Do you have other packages it want to rebuild? Because I had a 
blackdown-jdk and blackdown-jre that it couldn't find because they were 
heavily outdated and had sneaked it's way through my "emerge -auDv 
world".. So I just deleted those since I'm using the sun JDK at the 
moment anyway. Then revdep-rebuild worked wonders.

I'm not at the site now. Yes, revdep-rebuild caught some brolen
packages, but not all of them. I don't remember. I rebuilt the ones I
mentioned and got it working. The list will vary on different servers,
though :/

Well i have only had failure, due to programs not being able to find the

even after updating with ldconfig or env-update

my MailScanner and exim broke because of this (well i only got that far into

Francesco, any thoughts on this? I seem to remember my last disaster with mysql/vpopmail 
was due to libmysqlclient.so.12 disappearing. This makes me very nervous. Shouldn't 
revdep-rebuild take care of this? Anyone else have vopopmail installed but have 
successfully done this upgrade?

revdep-rebuild *should*, having problem me too with it not rebuilding 
*all* what I need.

A rather awful workaround is to rebuild every package that has the mysql 
useflag. to generate a list try this oneliner:

emerge -epv --columns mysql \
| grep mysql | grep -v 'dev-db/mysql '\
| cut -c 17- \
| awk 'emerge --oneshot {print $1}' \
| awk '{print "emerge --oneshot --nodeps", $1}'

then adjust the list for your needs.

Sorry for the problems, I can setup a test environment on a public ip 
address (x86 running stable), following your instruction (I don't use 
vpopmail).

Then we can test everything there.

I have now done two systems - and I now have two broken systems - and
worse I cant find out whats broken until I go to use it ...

The one where revdep-rebuild is showing nothing at all is at gentoolkit
version 0.2.0-r2 - there are quite a few broken packages. (mostly from
php, postfix and I think samba so far plus potentially a lot more)

My work laptop is now deeply ill and I am going to have to spend a few
hours on it on Monday.  Revdep-rebuild lists many broken apps but isnt
interested in fixing them!  Just exits saying nothing to rebuild.

Whats interesting about this is how mysql seems to have wriggled is way
into the core of so many apps.  I am really regretting turning that use
flag on when it was only one app I wanted it for.

crap!

A rather awful workaround is to rebuild every package that has the mysql 
useflag. to generate a list try this oneliner:

emerge -epv --columns mysql \
| grep mysql | grep -v 'dev-db/mysql '\
| cut -c 17- \
| awk '{print "emerge --oneshot --nodeps", $1}'

then adjust the list for your needs.
</quoting from previous message>

This list will contain also packages with "mysql" use flag turned off.

to achieve this it suffice to put USE="-mysql" in /etc/make.conf and to 
enable it for required ebuild into /etc/portage/packge.use

Shouldn't using revdep-rebuild as the following catch everything?

revdep-rebuild --soname libmysqlclient.so.12

Man, this ...... page messed up my mysql stuff seriously, ok, for those who
had the same libmysqlclient.so.12 problems i had or for those people who get
to the importing of all your database backup and it stuffs up. here is
DAVE'S guide to upgrading to MySQL 4.1


# = commands to type
= = comments

====================================
# mkdir -p /home/backup/mysql
# nano mysql_backup.php

==
= Place the code below into the mysql_backup.php and save the file =
==

/*------mysql_backup.php---------*/
<?
print("mysql backup\n");
foreach (glob('/var/lib/mysql/*') as $fullname)
{
$database = basename($fullname);
$command = sprintf('mysqldump -a -B %s -c -v -Q > /home/backup/mysql/%s.sql
--password=\'Our@db$IG\'', $database, $database);

exec($command);
print($database . ' : ' . $command . "\n\n\n");

}
?>


/*-----------------------------------------------------*/

# nano mysql_restore.php

==
= Place the code below in the mysql_restore.php and save the file =
==

/*------mysql_retore.php---------*/
<?

print("mysql backup\n");

$dir = '/home/backup/mysql/';
if ($fp = opendir($dir))
{
print('running...');
while (($file = readdir($fp)) !== FALSE) {
echo "$file\n";

$database = basename($file);
$command = sprintf('mysql < /home/backup/mysql/%s --password=\'Our@db$IG\'',
$database);
print($database . ' : ' . $command . "\n\n\n");
exec($command);

}
closedir($fp);
}
else
{
print('cannot open path ' . $dir);
}

?>

/*---------------*/

# php mysql_backup.php

==
= This will make individual backup's of all your databases, the reason i
make it create scripts for each database
= instead of just pumping it all into 1 database, is because if there is a
problem on like 486590 of a 5 million
= line file, its going to be a bitch to work with, this way it just
simplifies matters
==

# quickpkg dev-db/mysql
# /etc/init.d/mysql stop
# emerge -C mysql
# rm -rf /var/lib/mysql/ /var/log/mysql
# emerge mysql
# etc-update
# emerge --config =mysql-4.1.14
# revdep-rebuild --soname libmysqlclient.so.12
# php mysql_restore.php
# mysql_fix_privilege_tables --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/my.cnf --user=root
--password='PASSWORD'
# /etc/init.d/mysql restart

And thats it.

The upgrade TOTALLY pfutzed my test box. After installing 4.1,
revdep-rebuild wanted to build a bunch of ~x86 stuff (mod_php among
them). I went back to the old version. I have three production servers
running MySQL/Apache2/PHP, none of which will get this upgrade. For
the 1st time in 3 years, Gentoo is really pissing me off.

Have you updated to the new Gentoo apache layout? If not, I imagine that
might be what have happened (and I'm not too happy about it myself). The
one thing that seems odd is that revdep is pulling ~x86 versions. Are
you sure its doing that, or is it pulling the new apache layout stuff
that appears to be ~x86 but is really stable now?

Believe me, I've complained about the whole 'apache upgrade' crap. I'm
just as pissed as you (and I'm even a developer!).

Best of luck and let us know if we can help you in any way.

I actually rather like the apache upgrade, I just upgraded one of my main
webservers now.

I did a emerge -u apache dev-php/php mod_php

Moved my vhost files (since i have a serperate .conf file for each website
on the server, makes for easier management), edited the httpd.conf and
restarted apache, and everything works, no downtime at all.

Then in just a little while we're moving to dev-lang/php. Joys!

I've got the new dev-lang/php-4 and dev-lang/php-5 along with www- 
apache/mod_suphp installed on a new amd64 box and they're going  
amazingly but the chops and changes are still very frustrating --  
especially as there currently seems to be no way to get mod_php5!

Yours,
Craig

USE="apache2" emerge =dev-lang/php-5*

or USE="apache" if you still use Apache1, dev-lang/php now builds
mod_php itself, if you enable one of the apache/apache2 USE flags.
Please read
http://svn.gnqs.org/projects/gentoo-php-overlay/file/docs/php-upgrading.html?format=raw
for more informations.

Isn't that included in the pcre flag?

use 
# revdep-rebuild --soname=libmysqlclient.so.12
as suggested from Lance Albertson in this thread, look like the best 
solution to rebuild everything was using mysql-4.0 libraries.

For the record it's 

libmysqlclient.so.12 = mysql-4.0
libmysqlclient.so.14 = mysql-4.1
libmysqlclient.so.15 = mysql-5.0

Yeah correct, "pcre" USE flag in dev-lang/php enables
PerlCompatibleRegularExpressions, and also please don't forget the
"session" USE flag, both "pcre" and "session" are used by practically
any script and not having them causes obviously failures in the scripts.

So is there any reason for having these use flags if they cause so many
gray hairs for users? They could be added on the day when we have the
support to turn on local use flags by default. Or at least they should
be moved under for example the minimal use flag so they would get
installed by default.

[gentoo-server] routing bittorent

[radu herinean]

greetings.

i am looking into some ideas/solutions on how to solve a small need.

i created a small lan behind a gentoo machine at home and need to route some 
bittorrent and similar traffic from this lan through another machine that is 
hosted at our office (different ip class). that one is also running gentoo 
and is connected only to internet (doing dns and other small-time services)

the goal is to use the machine located at our office to route some 
bittorrent traffic for me, since i have a good connection to the office 
(high metro limit) and a lousy connection to internet (low international 
limit)

i was thinking of a socks proxy with dante but i have no experience with 
dante so far.
would dante do it?
is there a better/easier way to do it?

If you have the possibility to build a VPN connection (like IPsec with
racoon) I'd suggest that.

Or, you could build an ssh tunnel (with -g to allow remote hosts to
connect to your tunneled ports).

Don't know about dante, though.

Hi!

Or you could use a OpenVPN tunnel (http://openvpn.net, a good howto is 
also can be found here) between your home computer and the office box, 
and tell Azureus to use the tun0/tap0  interface, depending  on whether 
you want to use a TCP or a UDP tunnel. This sounds the easiest way to me.
