service mysqld restart: no file or directory

05 Jan

rpm -qa | grep mysql (find out the version of mysql you got)Somehow managed to break mysqld file (wow! applauses).

Errors received from ‘mysql -u <username> -p <pass>’:

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'

On using ‘rpm -e mysql-server’ was getting:

error reading information on service mysqld: No such file or directory
error: %preun(mysql-server-3.23.58-4) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

The solution ended up in:

  • rpm -qa | grep mysql (find out the version of mysql you got)
  • Get the right version of you RPM
  • rpm -Uhv –force mysql-server-xx.x.rpm
  • service mysqld restart

IE7 “operation aborted” error

23 Nov

Once you have “Operation aborted” error in IE7 for the website that means:

  1. You’ve placed JS file in the head of the document.
  2. This script tries to work with DOM with appendChild, createElement methods that drive IE crazy!

Solution is simple – move the JS file out of the head-tag at the bottom as (YDN advices), or at least – inside its container. For example, body-tag.

Google Dashboard and preferred language issue

06 Nov

Well that’s annoying…one thing Google doesn’t do intelligently is languages. I am logged into my account, they KNOW I speak English as a preferred language, but when I go to my iGoogle [google.com] page on my iPhone whilst I’m in Belgium it insists on displaying everything in Dutch.

That was annoying enough…but now the dashboard is doing the same, even when I visit the page from my laptop.

Google, you KNOW I speak English, stop overriding my account setting for my language with demographic data based on my IP address. When I’m traveling it doesn’t make me fluent in the local language…

*slaps the company on the nose with a rolled up newspaper* Bad Google, bad bad portal!

– Pete. (c) Comment

That’s one of the reasons I love Slashdot – proper way of commenting the things! :)

Oh, yeah, about Google Dashboard – yep, it’s quite handy and useful! :)
