Wed, 18 May 2011 23:16:12 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 (Python) Mysqldump Backup 1.1 http://www.andreas-glaser.com/2010/04/12/python-mysqldump-backup-1-1/ http://www.andreas-glaser.com/2010/04/12/python-mysqldump-backup-1-1/#comments Mon, 12 Apr 2010 08:00:02 +0000 Andreas Glaser http://www.andreas-glaser.com/?p=326 Backups are crucial!
Since that is fact I wrote a little script in Python to easily backup mysql databases on a linux server.

Note: There is a file embedded within this post, please visit this post to download the file.

How do i configure it?
After you downloaded the script to your Linux server you will need a few Linux packages. Execute the following commands as root:

apt-get update
apt-get install python mysqldump bzip2

What does it do?
This script dumps a certain database (or all databases) into a single mysql file, which is zipped (bzip2) afterwards.

Now edit the script with your preferred editor.

vim mysqldump-backup.py

Customize the following lines:

# 2. Config
mysqlUser = “root”
mysqlPwd = “YOUR_PASSWORD”
mysqlDatabase = “–all-databases”
dumpDir = “/tmp/”
dumpFile = “mysqldump-” + strftime(“%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S”, gmtime()) + “.sql”

The last step is to make the script executable:

chmod u +x mysqldump-backup-1.1.py

Thats it!

You can now run the script:

/path/to/the/script/mysqldump-backup-1.1.py

To run it daily (crontab):

crontab -e

Add at the bottom:

0 3 * * * /path/to/the/script/mysqldump-backup.py

Now your databases will be backupped daily at 03:00 am

You can put this globally into your httpd.conf or separately in every vhost configuration file you need it.

I haven’t managed to write a real documentation so far… anyway… feel free to try it.

All you need to do, is to install php in case you haven’t done it already!

It’s very simple and explained in two steps.

Step 1
Right mouse click on one of the files you want to associate with a specific program. Select “Properties” from the context menu.
step1

Step 2
Jump to the “Open With” tab, select your preferred software and close the window.
step2

From now on, when you double click files from the definied type, it automatically starts the previously selected software.

To update from Debian 4.x to Debian 5.x follow the following steps:

Step 1
Edit the sources.list

vim /etc/apt/sources.list

Step 2
Replace “etch” with “lenny”

:%s/etch/lenny/g

Step 3
Save the new sources.list

:wq

Step 4
Update your sources index

apt-get update

Step 5
Repeat the following command until nothing more is upgraded.

apt-get upgrade

Step 6
Repeat the following command until nothing more is upgraded.

apt-get dist-upgrade

Your Debian system should now be up to date!

SRCDS Linux Startscript

This little shell script makes it easier for you to start a SRCDS under linux. It provides you with a set of parameters to start every kind of a SRCDS.

2. How to use:

After you successfully installed a Source Dedicated Server (SRCDS) under Linux you just have to download the startscript at the bottom of this post.
Save the “startscript.sh” into the root directory of your SRCDS and change the permission to “u + x”.

^?View Code BASH

1	chmod u + x startscript.sh

Now open the start script with your preferred editor (vim, joe, mono etc.) and customize the configuration variables to your system.
