How To Install Nginx With PHP And MySQL (LEMP Stack) On CentOS 7

Nginx (pronounced "engine x") is a free, open-source, high-performance HTTP server. Nginx is known for its stability, rich feature set, simple configuration, and low resource consumption. This tutorial shows how you can install Nginx on a CentOS 6.5 server with PHP support (through PHP-FPM) and MySQL (Mariadb) support.

I recently worked on a case where one node of a Galera cluster had its schema desynchronized with the other nodes. And that was although Total Order Isolation method was in effect to perform the schema changes. Let’s see what happened.

Background

For those of you who are not familiar with how Galera can perform schema changes, here is a short recap:

• Two methods are available depending on the value of the wsrep_OSU_method setting. Both have benefits and drawbacks, it is not the main topic of this post.
• With TOI (Total Order Isolation), a DDL statement is performed at the same point in the replication flow on all nodes, giving strong guarantees that the schema is always identical on all nodes.
• With RSU (Rolling Schema Upgrade), a DDL statement is not replicated to the other nodes. Until the DDL statement has been executed on all nodes, the schema is not consistent everywhere (so …

In a comment on my post about Using SSL with MySQL xiaochong zhang asked if it is possible to decode SSL/TLS encrypted MySQL traffic. The short answer is: It depends.

To test this we need a MySQL server which is SSL enabled. I used MySQL Sandbox to create a sandboxed 5.6.19 server. Then I used mysslgen to create the config and the certificates.

$ make_sandbox 5.6.19
$ ./mysslgen.py --config=sandboxes/msb_5_6_19/my.sandbox.cnf --ssldir=sandboxes/msb_5_6_19/ssl

This assumes there already is a extracted tarball of MySQL 5.6.19 in ~/mysql/5.6.19

The mysslgen.py script will return a message with the changes you should make in your mysqld and client sections of the my.sandbox.cnf file. Then restart the server to make …

The Percona Managed Services team recently faced a somewhat peculiar client issue. We’d receive pages about their MySQL service being unreachable. However, studying the logs showed nothing out of the ordinary…. for the most part it appeared to be a normal shutdown and there was nothing in anyone’s command history nor a cron task to speak of that was suspicious.

This is one of those obscure and peculiar (read: unique) issues that triggered an old memory; I’d seen this behavior before and I had just the tool to catch the culprit in the act.

Systemtap made diagnostics of this issue possible and I can’t state enough how much of a powerful and often under-utilized tool set systemtap really is.

I have a BoF session next week at OSCON next week:

Migrating Data from MySQL and Oracle into Hadoop

The session is at 7pm Tuesday night – look for rooms D135 and/or D137/138.

Correction: We are now in  E144 on Tuesday with the Hadoop get together first at 7pm, and the Data Migration to follow at 8pm.

I’m actually going to be joined by Gwen Shapira from Cloudera, who has a BoF session on Hadoop next door at the same time, along with Eric Herman from Booking.com. We’ll use the opportunity to talk all things Hadoop, but particularly the ingestion of data from MySQL and other databases into the Hadoop datastore.

As always, it’d be great to meet anybody interested in Hadoop at the BoF, please come along and introduce yourselves, and …

On Wednesday I gave a presentation on “How to Avoid Even More Common (but Deadly) MySQL Development Mistakes” for Percona MySQL Webinars.  If you missed it, you can still register to view the recording and my slides.

Thanks to everyone who attended, and especially to folks who asked the great questions.  I answered as many as we had time for  during the session, but here are all the questions with my complete answers:

Q: Disk bandwidth also not infinite

Indeed, you’re right! …

About 1.5 months ago I blogged on MySQL 5.6 on POWER andtalked about what I had to poke at to make modern MySQL versions run and run well on shiny POWER8 systems.

One of those bugs, MySQL bug 47213 (InnoDB mutex/rw_lock should be conscious of memory ordering other than Intel) was recently marked as CLOSED by the Oracle MySQL team and the upcoming 5.6.20 and 5.7.5 releases should have the fix!

This is excellent news for those wanting to run MySQL on SMP systems that don’t have an Intel-like memory model (e.g. POWER and MIPS64).

This was the most major and invasive patch in the patchset for MySQL on POWER. It’s absolutely fantastic that this has made it into 5.6.20 and 5.7.5 and may mean that these new …

Introduction

In the previous post we described the situation when TwinDB recovery toolkit can be used to recover accidentaly dropped table in the case innodb_file_per_table=OFF setting.
In this post we will show how to recover MySQL table or database in case innodb_file_per_table is ON. So, let’s assume that mysql server has setting innodb_file_per_table=ON. This option tells InnoDB to store each table with user in a separate data  file.

We will use for recovery test the same database sakila, that was used in the previous post.
