IPv6 on DD-WRT
So I got a new wireless router (Linksys e3000) for my birthday (March 8th) thanks to my friend and business partner. I spent all of yesterday playing with it (DD-WRT) enabling IPv6 support, swap space, etc… I got a result that I never expected to see: <brag> </brag> I may post a walkthrough on how to accomplish this in the future.
read moreSuper Upgrade Mode…
So tonight I finally got to roll the Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) update on Inexistence. There may be some hiccups for the next few days as I fix anything that it broke. I also started rolling IPv6 support now. I will start adding AAAA dns records as I continue to test the functionality of each host. All AAAA records have been set for all hosts now. So please be patient if you notice anything break, I will more than likely be made aware of it as it happens and will fix it as soon as I can… Thanks and enjoy as always! Updates to follow below...

So I finally got IPv6 tunnels to work flawlessly on my home network. I’ll be sharing the love with Inexistence as soon as I get over to it’s location. So for anyone who was wondering yes we will have IPv6 services again. More to come…
read moreRoundcube
So I did an svn pull a couple of days ago that apparently exposed some bad values in the config file. I had a merry task of hunting it down, first I thought it was the imap server causing hiccups. So I tried all sorts of crap including downgrading to an older copy of roundcube. Finally I decided to diff -urN the conf files and just update everything. And now I’m pleased to say cubemail works again for everybody. (at least it should) Sorry about the interruption of service but at least it didn’t take too long to fix imho....
read moreZimbra… Maybe?
So I’ve been playing around in the background with mail servers. You may have noticed connectivity issues (especially today 12-23-2010) as I’ve been playing with alternative imap servers. We’re now using the imap server dovecot instead of wu-imapd. I’m thinking about installing the Zimbra Open Source Edition. It would enable a boat load of new features that I’ve been drooling over specifically CardDAV, iCal and CalDAV for contacts and calendars. Anybody have an opinion on this suite? Or any alternatives that they...
read moreSQL the constant headache…
So tonight I went from the stable version of mysql 5.0.51a to 5.1.49 from debian backports. *Sigh* We’ve been having issues with database corruptions hopefully this will help out. Please let me know if any of your sql powered sites have issues… As always enjoy and I hope everything is great on your end… Update – 10/18/2010 So the backport upgrade really didn’t help much… I now have a custom shell script I wrote checking the databases every day around 4am. If you site goes down around then don’t be...
read moreSSH Access…
All SSH access is currently denied for all users as there is a rather evil kernel bug: Hole in Linux kernel provides root rights Of course Debian hasn’t patched this in backports yet (which we currently use). So until this is fixed please drop me a support ticket if you really need shell access. Otherwise please be patient and I’ll let you know when I lift the ban… Debian has fixed this with the latest backport kernel upgrade. Enjoy your shell access again folks!
read moreApplying some varnish
So I installed and setup varnish tonight. Everyone should start to see a speedup on page loads / requests for all sites on inexistence. As always please let me know if you have any issues with your site(s). Enjoy! PS. I fixed the files that shouldn’t be cached like audio / video files so things return to their proper streaming speeds.
read moreQoS Enabled (Again)
So I once again enabled QoS (I forgot to enable it when we came back to using dd-wrt from the airport extreme). For those who wonder what QoS is that explains it pretty well. To explain it in easier terms I had to reserve part of the network so upstream cannot be flooded causing a denial of service. Now mind you a very slight denial of service more of a lag of service and this fixes the issue quite well. Sadly this also causes another issue and that is people will now download slightly slower from the server but everything will be more...
