Backup LAMP Stacks with LVM Snapshots

I've done a lot with LVM in the past, but up until now had never really played around with LVM snapshots. I recently used LVM snapshots to implement a "hot backup" of my LAMP stack running this blog. I quote "hot backup" because, while mysql is indeed running, I do have to place a read lock on all tables for a second or two. You don't need to do this if you're using Innodb, but you do if you use the MyISAM engine (which Drupal does by default).

Reporting Chrome usage via AWStats

AWStats is a great tool to analyze your Apache logs. Unless you've been living under a rock, there's a new browser in town - Chrome. Until you tell AWStats how to break it out for you, you won't see any statistics for it. Read on for how to modify AWStats so that it can detect the Chrome browser.

Mozilla Weave Setup on CentOS 5.2

Mozilla Weave is a project from Mozilla Labs that aims to keep all of your browser data synced between all of your PC's.  The now defunct Google Browser Sync used to do this, as does Foxmarks.  Although Weave is still in it's infancy, it's been very promising thus far.  However, many of the users of Mozilla's own Weave server complain that the service is very slow.  The beauty of Weave is that it uses the standard protocol WebDAV to sync it's data.  Why does that matter?  Because our good 'ol buddy Apache can speak WebDAV out-of-the box!  Follow the jump to find out how you can setup your own server that you can sync to.

Apache, mod_ssl, and the Sun Fire T1000 - Part III

In part one of the series, I went over how to compile Apache 2.0 to take advantage of the T1000 hardware. In part two, I talked about patching Apache 2.0 to support the SSLHonorCipherOrder directive. I didn't realize there might be a part three, but here we are!

Apache, mod_ssl, and the Sun Fire T1000 - Part II

After recompiling Apache to take advantage of the T1000's MAU as described in part I, I set out to doing some testing. Something was amiss - using some clients, I would see SSL page load times of about .025 seconds, others took close to a second. The v210 consistently tested out at about .080 seconds per page.

Apache, mod_ssl, and the Sun Fire T1000 - Part I

I like Apache. A lot. It's one of the few apps out there that you can count on in a production environment, and it always does what you expect it to. However, Apache is only as good as the person configuring it.
