RabbitMQ – 1.5.5 Denied – 1.5.3 Rock On
No sooner had I got my RabbitMQ up and running did I find out that there wasn’t a perl module out to talk AMQP, so wrong. So google and twitter high jinx ensued and I found that there is a STOMP perl module and it seems a decent amount of people are talking STOMP with […]
RHEL5 RabbitMQ Install
Just did a RabbitMQ install on a RHEL5 server and it was insanely easy. Get the RabbitMQ rpm from rabbitmq.com (here at time of this post) Become EPEL enabled if not so: su -c ‘rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm’ yum install erlang rpm –install rabbitmq-server-YourVersion.rpm /etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server start open up port 5672 That’s all there is to that.

GoDaddy Cert, Safari and the BigIP
Ran into and issue after our deploy with Safari not thinking our secure cert for Gocomics.com was valid. It took some searching but I ran across a post on F5 DevCentral which show how to go to Verisign or the GoDaddy repository and download their intermediate certificate and add it to your chain. The steps […]
BigIP pwn3d
It took a whole lot of looking but I finally figured it out, SSL pass through on the BigIP LTM. When passing through a connection from HTTPS to HTTP the Virtual Server needs to have SSL Profile (Client) pointed to a SSL profile you created using your certs, HTTP Profile set to “http”, Port Translation […]
Not so friendly stable Ruby
Went to install ruby on a RHEL4 machine and wanted to get the latest and greatest, becaue the 1.8.1 packed for RHEL4 wouldn’t cut it. So I went out to the ruby site and grabed that package marked latest stable release. I believe this ended up untaring to be 1.8.8.1, which I then  installed. Upon […]

netcat dd
At one point I had this on here but I can’t find it via search this morning so I’ll just go ahead and add it again. Useful for cloning drive partitions when you don’t have the advantage of a SAN. ( taken from here ) On Slave, run nc -l -p 9000 | dd of=/dev/sda […]
RT respond on resolve
I’d done a search before on switching RT to reply to requestors on resolving a ticket rather than it being a comment and came up blank. Today provided this gem: In <path-to-your-RT>/share/html/Ticket/Elements/Tabs, search for the part where it says title => loc(‘Resolve’), (which, in my code, is $actions->{‘B’}), and change it from Action=Comment to Action=Respond […]
Virtualization, Rails and CDNs
A few weeks ago we (not me, but my company) started work on our GoComics igoogle gadget for the release of igoogle v2. We weren’t really sure how well it was going to go over, it didn’t take long before we were suddenly at 150,000 users and we were listed along with the New York […]
Lost some boxcars
Pushed a new site live today and I got a call this evening from my VP, she was getting a 500 error on the site. There is no way this site is getting to much traffic and it works just fine when I pull it up from home. I start log hunting and make my […]
