After upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04, I couldn’t get Zabbix to run and was receiving the following zabbix-server[3962]: /opt/sbin/zabbix_server: /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.18: version `libmysqlclient_18′ not found (required by /opt/sbin/zabbix_server) To fix this I needed to symlink the perconaclient library to the mysql client libraries that Zabbix was expecting. apt-get install libperconaserverclient18 ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libperconaserverclient.so.18 /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.18 ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libperconaserverclient_r.so.18 …

It seems that the configuration guide I followed to setup dovecot broke due to outdated settings. However thanks to a wiki guide from dovecot, I was able to convert …
Nginx with IPv6 and vhosts
Linode.com has recently setup IPv6 natively and is deploying it across their data-centers. This is great as I now have a native IPv6 address for my VPS. I use Nginx as a replacement for Apache and I noticed today that my vhosts where not correctly responding on the IPv6 address. Since I use a wildcard …
Moving home directory to a new drive
My current host has a unique feature in which it allows me to setup virtual machines easily. Since that is easily possible, I may want to someday switch to another operating system.
