Howto: Solving problem with logrotate

25 Dec 
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
 
error: error running shared postrotate script for /var/log/mysql.log
/var/log/mysql/mysql.log /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log
 
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1

Have you been getting this cryptic error message before?

Here is how to get rid of it:

View /etc/mysql/debian.cnf. Look for

user     = debian-sys-maint
password = newpass

Log into mysql as root

mysql -uroot -p
SET PASSWORD FOR `debian-sys-maint`@`localhost` = PASSWORD('newpass');
SET PASSWORD FOR `debian-sys-maint`@`%` = PASSWORD('newpass');
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Log out and it should be fixed.

25 Dec

Hi,

Just for my own reference and some other poor people out there trying to get this to work:

  1. Download XAMPP 1.7.2 from sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Windows/1.7.2/xampp-win32-1.7.2.exe/download
  2. Install
  3. Download php_xdebug-2.0.5-5.3-vc6.dll from xdebug.org/download.php
  4. Place it in C:\xampp\php\ext
  5. Edit C:\xampp\php\php.ini add:
    zend_extension = “C:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.0.5-5.3-vc6.dll”[xdebug]

    xdebug.remote_enable=on

    xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1

    xdebug.remote_port=9000

    xdebug.remote_handler=”dbgp”

  6. Enjoy!
