★ The 5 Biggest Ways to Boost MySQL Scalability

JavaChap — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 18:43:09 +0000

Sean Hall with some really good MySQL advice:

Tune those queries. Biggest bang for your buck. Enable the slow query log and watch it. Once you've found a heavy resource intensive query, optimize it! Tune what receives real-world traffic.
Employ Master-Master Replication. Immediately have a read-only slave for your application to hit as well.
Use Your Memory. Set innodb_buffer_pool_size, key_buffer_size and other key options.
RAID Your Disk I/O. Use RAID 10 mirroring and striping. On EC2 striping across a number of EBS volumes using the Linux md software raid.
Tune Key Parameters. speeds up inserts & updates with innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=2; create a tablespace and underlying datafile for each table with innodb_file_per_table.

★ How to Enable Permalinks in WordPress – Yahoo Hosting

JavaChap — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 14:01:21 +0000

Problem : WordPress Permalinks don’t work on Yahoo! hosting because they do not give their users access to the htaccess file – which means you cannot create the mod_rewrite rules needed for custom permlinks. Any other WordPress feature.. addon or plugin that you may need your .htaccess file for? Forget it – they do not give you access to it. Period.

Solution: Go to Permalink Settings > Select Custom Structure. And define the value as /index.php/%postname%/ Then your URL will look like http://yoursite.com/index.php/your-post-title.

Huh finally Permanlinks are enabled for my blog. Just incase if you dont know, Permalinks will help you on SEO. Yes Yahoo hosting sucks !

★ GreatAndhra RSS Feed

JavaChap — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 03:52:12 +0000

I do regularly read telugu news at http://www.greatandhra.com, But the issue is i have to go to the site to read the news. They don't provide an RSS feed.

So i have used Yahoo Pipes and created an RSS feed for greatandhra.com. So if you want greatandhra RSS feed in your favorite RSS reader. Use the following RSS feed URLs.

All News: http://feeds.feedburner.com/greatandhra-news

Only Movie News: http://feeds.feedburner.com/greatandhra-movienews

Update: Fixed the Yahoo Pipes, since the pipes are broken after the UI is updated for GreatAndhra.

★ Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

JavaChap — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 16:50:52 +0000

So I saw the movie last night, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.

Asusual, Sharukh Khan is superb, your heart goes out to him every time he appears on screen. Anushka has done a pretty awesome job in her dream debut movie. Salim-Sulaiman's Music is good too, i'm still humming 'Haule Haule'.

On down side, Wife(Anushka) not able to recognize her husband(Sharukh) after a makeover and not a convincing Climax .

Overall i enjoyed the movie and sharukh's acting.
