Well, when I replaced the server’s UPS batteries, I noticed that when I upgraded the hardware in late 2010, I must have forgotten to set up the UPS software. So, I dug out a UPS printer cable, attached that between the server and the UPS, and used yum extender (since the server is Fedora) to install apcupsd, apcupsd-cgi, and apcupsd-gui. The screenshot shows apcupsd-gui running. For those of you that are interested in compiling apcupsd from source code, I will try to add a comment to this post in a day or so. 😉
Well, the replacement batteries for my APC Smart-ups 750XL finally arrived, and I am planning on ‘hot swapping’ the batteries today. NO server downtime will be associated with this task. Replacement is indicated because a few months ago, they started failing auto self test, then they passed for a month or so, then started failing again. So, I think they are toast. 😉
Posted this on Facebook, but wanted to post it here, as well…..
Just finished this one… I have a memory of sitting around with John Rutter (I think) while at Tehran American School figuring this one out. No wonder why I couldn’t remember how to play this and had to relearn it. Seems the song I learn this week, I forget next week, heh. Isn’t that CRS syndrome? Recorded this with my P Bass over a backing track. Thanks to Mark Puklin last week at work for mentioning this song, and reminding me why I ever picked up a bass in the first place. Enjoy!
Well, there is start up issues with whatever web content, script or whatever that you are starting to run for the first time. This is true, whether it’s server-based, such as happens with a blog, or running on your local desktop.
My security plugin scanned, and detected a new version, so wanted to update it. The process puked and failed. I tracked down the issue to the upgrade directory not having the right permissions. I fixed it this morning by simply doing ‘chmod 777 upgrade’. End of story. It’s working as it should, now.
For now, user registration is off. I am pondering the risks vs. advantages to enabling it. So, if anybody wants a blog user account, simply message me on Facebook.
