New Analytiks v1.5 submitted. This is the most advanced version ever

Analytiks App

The developers of @analytiksapp just tweeted that they have submitted Analytiks v1.5 to the App Store, so I guess it’s a matter of a day or two until it’s available on our iPhones. I just can’t wait for the new release! Bellow is a preview of one of the new features; an infographic generator based on your Google Analytics stats. If you still haven’t got the Analytiks on your iPhone, go grab it from the App Store now. Some of the best well spent $0,99 :)

PS: I’m in no way affiliated with Analytiks, just a happy user.

Fix Unknown table engine ‘INNODB’ error on Munin

In newer MySQL versions, if you have InnoDB disabled, Munin will fail to run giving you the following error:

root@myserver [~]# munin-run mysql_connections
DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Unknown table engine 'INNODB' at /etc/munin/plugins/mysql_connections line 958.

This is caused because the error message is changing between versions and the mysql_ plugin for munin hasn’t been updated in order to recognize it.
The fix is pretty simple, just open /usr/share/munin/plugins/mysql_ with vim on line 958 (hint: vim +958 filename) and replace as bellow.

Original code

    if ($@) {
 	        if ($@ =~ /Cannot call SHOW INNODB STATUS because skip-innodb is defined/) {
 	            $data->{_innodb_disabled} = 1;
 	            return;
 	        }
 	        die $@;

Fixed code

    if ($@) {
 	        if ($@ =~ /Unknown table engine 'INNODB'|Unknown storage engine 'innodb'|Cannot call SHOW INNODB STATUS because skip-innodb is defined/i) {
 	            $data->{_innodb_disabled} = 1;
 	            return;
 	        }
 	        die $@;

Save the file and you’re good to go :)

Monitoring bind/named with Munin on cPanel DNS Only

Last night I attempted to get named monitoring working with Munin on my two cPanel DNS Only boxes. Named is actually the most important service to monitor on a DNS Only box so in my opinion it should be enabled by default when you install Munin via WHM.
The whole process was actually really straightforward and the only thing I had to do was to apply a set of Debian instructions I found here, on CentOS. Here’s how you can install Munin and setup named monitoring Read More…

In a previous post I mentioned that after installing the GM (i.e. final) version of iOS 5, I’ve seen my battery life percentage drop below 20% in a matter of a few hours. Now after upgrading to beta 1 on Thursday and beta 2 yesterday, and I can confirm that the battery issue is now fixed :)
My iPhone 4 now easily goes over 24+ hours after a full charge with everything enabled! (3G, WiFi, Location services etc.)

How To: Restore Default Settings on Safari (Mac OS X Lion)

I just installed the Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 GM update and noticed that Safari was behaving a bit weird after the update so I thought I reset it’s settings to default.

Here’s how it’s done:

1. Open Safari and click on Safari in the upper left hand corner.
2. Click Reset Safari.

3. Restart Safari. This will resolve most problems. If this does not solve the problem, proceed on to Step 4.
