Creating SSL self signed key and certificate for apache webserver.

Use below single command to create SSL self signed certificate and key.


openssl req  -nodes -new -x509  -keyout yum.prod.example.lan.key -out yum.prod.example.lan.cert


Once created, this certificates can be used in ssl.conf like below.


NameVirtualHost *:443


ServerAdmin unixadmin@example.com.sa
ServerName yum.prod.example.lan
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/certificate/yum.prod.example.lan.cert
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/certificate/yum.prod.example.lan.key
CustomLog  /var/log/httpd/yum_access_ssl.log combined

Solaris 11 DNS Cient and nsswitch.conf configuration.

In solaris 11, its not recomented to edit resolv.conf file directory. Below is the proceedure to configure it.

Ensure, DNS client service is online.

root@eecsaruh2hoc007 # svcs -a | grep dns
disabled       Jun_25   svc:/network/dns/multicast:default
disabled       Jun_25   svc:/network/dns/server:default
online         Jun_25   svc:/network/dns/client:default

Configure DNS client configuration with required values

root@eecsaruh2hoc007 # svccfg -s dns/client
svc:/network/dns/client> setprop config/nameserver = (10.14.10.13 10.14.10.14 10.64.10.13)
svc:/network/dns/client> setprop config/domain = prod.example.lan
svc:/network/dns/client> setprop config/search = prod.example.lan
svc:/network/dns/client> exit

Restart the service

root@eecsaruh2hoc007 # svcadm refresh dns/client # svcadm restart dns/client

Verify the change:

root@eecsaruh2hoc007 # cat /etc/resolv.conf

#

Godaddy Dynamic DNS configuration.

I found some of very good article in internet for configuring dynamic IP configuration with Godaddy.

Below is the steps I used to achieve the same.

1- Install required python modules.

  #yum install install python python-pip
  #pip install pif
  #pip install pygodaddy
  #pip install pyopenssl ndg-httpsclient pyasn1


2. replace client.py and __init__.py  with below files as the authentication changes in godaddy has been fixed in new files.

 Replace /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pygodaddy/  with https://github.com/BryceGough/pygodaddy/blob/master/pygodaddy/client.py
Replace /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pygodaddy/__init__.py with https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BryceGough/pygodaddy/master/pygodaddy/__init__.py


3. Download below Symple python script to update a host A record in a GoDaddy hosted DNS zone

#wget https://github.com/johanreinalda/godaddy_dynamic_dns/archive/master.zip
#unzip master.zip
#cd godaddy_dynamic_dns-master
Create below files to store current IP and logs.

#touch  current_ip 
#touch  godaddy.log

4. Edit configuration files update.py

GODADDY_USERNAME="username"
GODADDY_PASSWORD="Password"
LOGFILE='godaddy.log'
IPFILE='current_ip'

Replace below line with your hostname in godaddy. (here i put blog). on line number 53.

 if dns_record.hostname == 'blog': 

5. now you can run the update.py like below.

# python update.py
ip is the same.. not doing anything

Custom Logrotate in Solaris 10

Here I explain how to configure logadm to rotage any system wide files according to given criteria.
1. Add the corresponding entries in /etc/logadm.conf in below format.
root@server1 # tail -3 /etc/logadm.conf
/var/adm/wtmpx -A 1m -o adm -g adm -m 664 -p 1d -t '$file.old.%Y%m%d_%H%M' -z 1
/var/adm/wtmpx -A 1m -g adm -m 664 -o adm -p 1w -t '$file.old.%Y%m%d_%H%M' -z 5
/var/adm/utmpx -A 1m -g adm -m 664 -o adm -p 1w -t '$file.old.%Y%m%d_%H%M' -z 5
/var/adm/loginlog -A 1m -g sys -m 700 -o root -p 1w -t '$file.old.%Y%m%d_%H%M' -z 5
Explanation for each switch:
-A ->Delete any versions that have not been modified for the amount of time specified by age. Specify age as a number followed by an h (hours), d (days), w(weeks), m (months), or y (years).
-o -> the owner of the newly creating empty file
-g-> the group of newly creating file
-m ->mode of the new empty file (chmod xxx)
-p -> Rotate a log file after the specified time period (period as d, w,  m, y)
-t -> Specify the template to use when renaming log files (Here, wtmpx.old.20101225_0757) (see man logadm for more info)
-z  ->How many copy of rotaged files needs to retain on the system.
-P ->Used by logadm to record the last time the log was rotated in /etc/logadm.conf (no need to set this manually)
2. Once above entries are done, execute logadm -v command to run a logrotation now. Now logadm reads the /etc/logadm.conf file, and for every entry found in that file checks the corresponding log file to see if it should be rotated.

Cakephp: Verifying the post data Failure.

When you save your data to DB using Model, some time if fails without any message, you can use codes to check what is happening. If the save fails, you will get print of data, validation error if any, and SQL statement executed.

$data=$this->data;
 if ($this->Client->save($data)) {
     $this->Session->setFlash("Client Added");
     $this->redirect('/clients/listclient/0');
     }else{
          //to print the data itselft
          debug($data);
          //to print the Validation Errors
          debug($this->validationErrors);
          //to print the SQL statements
          debug($this->Client->getDataSource()->getLog(false, false));
          //to print the invlide fields
          debug($this->Client->invalidFields());
     }

Check all the requiured kernel modules are available(bonding and mii)
[root@MyLinux ~]# modprobe -l | grep bonding
/lib/modules/2.6.18-308.el5/kernel/drivers/net/bonding/bonding.ko

[root@MyLinux ~]# modprobe -l | grep mii
/lib/modules/2.6.18-308.el5/kernel/drivers/net/mii.ko

Editing the modprobe.conf file. Append below line in modprobe.conf
[root@MyLinux etc]# cat modprobe.conf
alias bond0 bonding
options bond0 mode=1 miimon=100

Where

mode=0 (balance-rr)
Round-robin policy: Transmit packets in sequential order from the first available slave through the last. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.

mode=1 (active-backup)
Active-backup policy: Only one slave in the bond is active. A different slave becomes active if, and only if, the active slave fails. The bond's MAC address is externally visible on only one port (network adapter) to avoid confusing the switch. This mode provides fault tolerance. The primary option affects the behavior of this mode.

mode=2 (balance-xor)
XOR policy: Transmit based on [(source MAC address XOR'd with destination MAC address) modulo slave count]. This selects the same slave for each destination MAC address. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.

mode=3 (broadcast)
Broadcast policy: transmits everything on all slave interfaces. This mode provides fault tolerance.

mode=4 (802.3ad)
IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation. Creates aggregation groups that share the same speed and duplex settings. Utilizes all slaves in the active aggregator according to the 802.3ad specification.


Load both kernel modules and confirm the file edit by below commands

[root@MyLinux etc]# modprobe bonding
[root@MyLinux etc]# modprobe mii
