If you wish for your server to email you if an array becomes sub optimal you can use a script like the one posted by “quad3datwork” here: http://www.sysadmintalk.net/forums/Thread-CentOS-Adaptec-RAID-2405-arcconf-monitoring

Incero clients with our management services need not worry about RAID health, as it is constantly monitored 24/7 along with load and other server health parameters by our staff.

Below is a function I wrote for running UPDATE queries which:

• automatically escapes data
• allows MySQL functions to pass through with the use of *function* e.g. *NOW()*
• allows you to update columns with empty string/null values
• allows a single or an unlimited number of columns to be updated
• saves you from typing out long UPDATE queries
• assumes that you have a column called id, presumably a primary key

Parameters are split with ::: and the first parameter is the table name, then the id of the row to update, then the column, and then the value. Add on as many columns and values as desired.

ut("jobs:::1:::status:::walking the dog:::server:::fileserver2");

replaces

$query="UPDATE jobs SET status=" . mysql_real_escape_string('walking the dog') .", server=" . mysql_real_escape_string('fileserver2') . " WHERE id=" . mysql_real_escape_string('1');
$result=mysql_query($query);

Below is the function and here is a more readable screenshot of the code.

function ut($data)//update table function
 {
 /*  Update mysql table, save time. MySQL real escape data. Pass unlimited number of columns/values. Allow MySQL function passthrough with *function*, e.g. *NOW()*
 to update a column with a blank value simply skip the data. e.g. jobs:::123:::status:::  would set status to empty string for row 123
 table:::row id:::column:::value:::column:::value:::column:::value

 examples, don't forget that values have been through mysql_real_escaped_string(), so the equivalent query typed/sanitized manually would be much longer than shown below.
 jobs:::1:::status:::walking the dog:::server:::fileserver2
 UPDATE jobs SET status='walking the dog', server='fileserver2' WHERE id='1'

 jobs:::1:::status::::::server:::fileserver3422
 UPDATE jobs SET status='', server='fileserver342' WHERE id='1'

 jobs:::1:::status:::starting the job:::addedtime:::*NOW()*
 UPDATE jobs SET status='starting the job', addedtime=NOW() WHERE id='1'

 Questions/improvements welcome at http://www.incero.com/?p=1301
 */
 $data=explode(":::",$data);
 $table=addslashes(strip_tags($data[0]));//we know the column ID will always be an int, wont need to escape this data
 $id=intval($data[1]);//we know the column ID will always be an int, wont need to escape this data
 connect();//our own mysql connect function, omit this if you always keep mysql open (for the whole page load)
 $x=2;
 while($x<sizeof($data))//Loop through the data array for all the update queries.
 {
 $column=strip_tags($data[$x]);
 $value=$data[$x+1];
 if($x==2){
 $queryString= mysql_real_escape_string($column);
 }
 else//this isn't the first data/column set so we need a comma
 {
 $queryString.= ", " . mysql_real_escape_string($column);
 }

 {
 $queryString.= "=" . substr($value,1,strlen($value)-2);//if the value is surrouned by * then omit single quotes, allowing mysql functions to pass through, e.g. *NOW()*
 }

 }

 }

The correct method of reloading httpd.conf would be to use “reload”, reload does not stop Apache from running, so no visitors are turned away, it simply reloads the configuration files and reparses any perl .pm files.

Usage: service httpd reload

Example:
[scoobydoo@server11 public_html]# service httpd reload
Reloading httpd:                                           [  OK  ]

[root@server27 csf]# sh install.sh
Configuring for OS
Checking for perl modulesfailed
You need to install the LWP perl module (libwww-perl) and then install csf

To correct this on a CentOS system, simply run the following command to install Perl:

yum install perl-libwww-perl

It will prompt you with the packages it will install, if all looks good then choose “Y” for yes.

[root@server27 csf]# yum install perl-libwww-perl

The web based control panel for the IPMI and KVM, which works even when the server is offline, allows complete remote control over the system. My favorite feature is the KVM for remote console access along with the ability to mount remotely hosted iso images as a local cdrom. The combination of these features allow you to completely reload an operating system remotely, and complete countless other tasks which previously have required physical access.

Click on each image to see the larger version:

The final screenshot, shown below, shows the IPMIVIEW desktop software, which can be used instead of the browser based control panel if desired.

Using our Joomla file protection script you can simply drop our securefile.php in any folder that contains files that you want to protect and they will only be loadable by registered and logged in users.

Here’s how it works:

1. All file requests for media files including videos and images are automatically passed to securefile.php
2. securefile.php checks that the user is already logged by checking the Joomla session and cookie data
3. displays the requested file, or shows an error message if permission is denied.

An example usage would be that you have a several .swf presentations that you want to show to your registered users only, they view your webpage source code and then steal the link to the .swf (such as http://www.mywebsite.com/files/presentation4.swf). The user then shares that direct link to your presentation with non registered users resulting in bandwidth usage and lost revenue. With the leech protection system those direct links will not work for non registered users.

This beauty of this system is that you can keep using your existing video players and presentations on your site as you always have without having to modify your code. We can set this up for you, contact us for more information.

1. Use GD to resize the image on the fly and output it
2. Extracts the thumbnail from the Exif data. (If this fails, you could revert to method 1 above.)

The latter assumes that the image file has exif data, which most photos do. To ensure the fastest loading thumbnails it would be best to generate thumbnails when images are uploaded to the server, but there are times when you don’t want to have to store thumbnails for every image uploaded.

Method 1: Using GD To Resize On The Fly

Using this 8.5MB image, and the code below, the following URL will load a thumbnail that is dynamically created: http://www.incero.com/codesamples/thumbnailonthefly/thumbnail.php?image=highres.jpg&width=160

<?php
 /*How to extract a thumbnail from Exif data using PHP
 Created by Gordon Page, gordon@incero.com. April 30th, 2010.

 */
 header("Content-type: image/jpeg");

 // get image size
 $file = $_GET[image];
 if($size = GetImageSize($file)){
 $w = $size[0];
 $h = $size[1];
 //set new size
 $nw = $_GET['width'];
 $nh = ($nw*$h)/$w;
 }
 else{
 //set new size
 $nw = "160";
 $nh = "120";
 }
 //draw the image
 $src_img = imagecreatefromjpeg($file);
 $dst_img = imagecreatetruecolor($nw,$nh);
 imagecopyresampled($dst_img, $src_img, 0, 0, 0, 0, $nw, $nh, $w, $h);//resizing the image
 imagejpeg($dst_img,"",100);
 imagedestroy($src_img);
 imagedestroy($dst_img);
?>

You’ll notice that with this method it takes about a second to generate the thumbnail so you may want to default to the method below which is faster, and if that method fails then fall back to this first method.

Method 2: Extracting The Thumbnail From The Exif Data

Using the same 8.5MB image, and the code below, the following URL will extract the thumbnail from the Exif data: http://www.incero.com/codesamples/thumbnailonthefly/exifthumb.php?image=highres.jpg

<?php
 /*How to extract a thumbnail from Exif data using PHP
 Created by Gordon Page, gordon@incero.com. April 30th, 2010.

 */
 // file to read
 $file =$_REQUEST['image'];
 $image = exif_thumbnail($file, $width, $height, $type);
 // width, height and type get filled with data
 // after calling "exif_thumbnail"
 if ($image) {
 // send header and image data to the browser:
 header('Content-type: ' .image_type_to_mime_type($type));
 print $image;
 }
 else {
 // there is no thumbnail available, handle the error.
 //This would be a great place to revert to the GD resize method.
 print 'No thumbnail available';
 }
?>
