A second? A day? A month? Since you've setup your Linode?

Your statement has as much useful content as Han Solo's "making the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs" line.

As I've mentioned, PING is used by MANY legitimate services, and no competent hacker relies on it to determine if there's a "target" out there.

But hey, turn off ping, make your life as a sysadmin much harder, what do I care.

You may already have solved this, but just in case: older versions of Mysql had a default 4GB limit on some types of tables; dumping those tables didn't necessarily include the ALTER statements to increase the maximum number of rows.

Also, which file system are you using? Any limits on file sizes (though if the MD5 is ok, then presumably all's well).

@droidy - Thanks, screen seems to be working fine as I have been loading data to mysql for the last 12 hours with no problems.

@obs - thanks for the maatkit tip. I didn't use it for this but it looks like a good tool for various tasks so I will give it a go.

My previous company started with Linode, where I was owner. I eventually got a position with another company, and the first thing asked was, "hurr durr, I found slicehost on the Google tubes!"

After that thought was squashed, we simply changed information on the account to reflect the new owner, and updated billing information for the company credit card.

So far, we have run one Linode. We run a web hosting division on the thing. It also hosts our CRM (vTiger), our SVN repo for dev work, our VNC repeater, several text-based games (PennMUSHes), file storage, and it used to do a shoutcast station.

So far, the only negative thing about Linode has been when they did an unscheduled reboot and my box refused to come back up.

Here's a hint, though: In 90% of the cases, its your guest OS configuration that made your Linode not come back up. In our case, something thought it would be AWESOME to bring eth0 up as the private network IP.

I like Linode so much that we're gonna resell the damn things to people with Paypal and Google Checkout. Those people can have their Linode goodness and Caker doesn't have to deal with their damned paypal accounts.

As discussed in IRC, we are going ahead with a project to resell linodes to people who want to pay with paypal, google checkout, and the rest of those things that Linode won't touch.

Linode has good reason not to touch them. Its just that we're not as smart as Linode, and we'll be trying it.

Maybe this will stop people from asking Caker: I see you don't take Paypal, will you take Paypal?

Alright, so I figured out the issues with all of this. First, it isn't a good idea to transfer a website between servers when you are half asleep

Second, the issue was with my apache configuration. Although I had AllowOverride All set near the area of the config file that talks about htaccess, that wasn't the right spot. I needed to also set the the AllowOverride All within the <Directory /> area:

Code:

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Lastly for anyone having issues with the format of the actual htaccess file this is what I ultimately ended with in my htaccess file:

Code:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule rewrite_module>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Tends to be easier than top. (In my case I'm using 94MB).

Don't forget swap, technically you're using 102MiB.

I guess you mean it does not work for you.

Ok then, keep with the latter (without IfModule) and post your error. If it is 404, 403 or something like that, you have error in your rule (denied access to index.php or missing file). If it is 50x, you have a syntax error or not loaded module.

Also try if your .htaccess is working properly - try to deny or allow access to all and see if something changes.

You do not write which distro you use but is it possible you don't have rewrite module at all (no .so file) or it isn't in specified directory?

Don't forget to check /var/log/apache/error_log to see if there isn't any clue.

You don't want to have ".c" suffix in IfModule clause. You need to mirror module name from LoadModule section, i.e. rewrite_module.

I must be missing something here, but I cannot get the standard wordpress mod rewrite hataccess file to work. Here is what seems relevant:

Excerpts from my httpd.conf file

Code:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
AllowOverride All
AccessFileName .htaccess

With those settings it seems like the Apache config looks good, so here is the .htaccess file:

Code:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

I appreciate any help that anyone might have. Thanks!!!

Have you tried running the job under nohup or screen? If it's your net connection dropping or your laptop going to sleep, then nohup or screen will save the day.
