Nginx 1.0.8 on dotdeb
Just a quick mention that Nginx 1.0.8 got released on dotdeb if that's one of your sources:
http://www.dotdeb.org/2011/10/20/packages-of-nginx-1-0-8-are-available/
Just came down for me.

Nginx got official repo for Debian 6 Why would you use DotDeb instead?
The packages in Debian 6 are way out of date. See?
Ancient, using nginx 1.1.6 myself
Compiling ftw
You may misunderstand my post. I meant NGINX's repo for Debian 6, not Debian's repo.
It will always up to date by Nginx team
Not an important release .
I always run the dev versions!
I totally missed that, actually. Still prefer dotdeb since it has a php5-fpm package though.
I built nginx & php5-fpm from source..no deb only build module that my apps required
you can have this (and other updated packages like tmux or nsd) directly from debian backports:
add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list
and then
apt-get -t squeeze-backports install nginx
it will then automatically update via standard
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
cough
"Why thank you, drmike, for letting us know about an important update. Thanks for making sure we were aware of it. All hail the wise and wonderful drmike."
edit: Actually I'm using dotdeb because I was using Debian 5 previously and never changed over when I upgrade to 6. Oops.
What should my sources.list file look like?
A nice start with http://debgen.simplylinux.ch/index.php
What the heck is "non-free software" anyway? I gather some one didn't have proofs in high school and/or college. "Non-free is non-free software" My math teacher must be rolling over in his grave....
I got half way down and went "Huh?" All those explanations run off the right side and are unreadable in FF. I took some guesses and got back what I already had for a sources.list file.
thanks though.
I love dotdeb Use it on all my Deb web boxes, no problem, works great, latest versions of nginx, php-fpm & mysql.
@sleddog Um, I think the whole point of this is that dotdeb doesn't have the latest version of nginx.
Or am I missing something here?
dotdeb has the latest stable version of nginx. if you want the development version for some reason you'll have to look elsewhere.
I have no desire to explore the development version, especially for production servers, so dotdeb works fine for me.
See http://nginx.org/
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html
Don't ask me why, but you need "non-free" if you want to install libapache2-mod-fastcgi!
You are the man, I love that site
I'm curious and I've always wondered about this. I know in many GPL and other open source licenses, there's a clause prohibiting any restriction of use of the software. But yet I see some GPL'ed software go ahead and do this, even though their license states that it's a nono.
Is there anything that can be done about this? I know that when I asked the EFF about this, I got back a very unclear answer stating that the developer can do whatever they please as long as those under him or her followed the rules in the GPL.
edit: Thanks for the policy link by the way.
Just to mention, looks like mysql5.5 got released on dotdeb to a few issues. There's a thread here:
http://www.dotdeb.org/2011/11/01/mysql-5-5-is-finally-here/
I screwed something up on my box. Have to look at it tomorrow.
That's no fun but no worries man. I set mine up last night was running great. Tried to ssh in today got nothing. Webmin everything was down. No choice but to reinstall good thing nothing was on it.
Yup, mysql 5.5 is failing for me on both vpses.
edit: Looks like this may be the issue:
And you don't have an error? :P
You must run mysql_upgrade.
Sure., I get an error. FAILED. That's my error. For both starting as well as the upgrade @tux mentions. mysql logs are empty. Lots of fun.
Each time I saw other distro users struggling looking for latest packages or compiling everything from scratch by themselves, I felt so lucky that I am using Arch.
Arch official repos already beat EPEL, dotdeb, etc. AUR even kills them. Peace.
Come on people, try Arch. Seriously.
skip_innodb causes mysql 5.5 to fail. with Squeeze
I've replaced skip_innodb with
ignore_builtin_innodb
default_storage_engine=MyISAM
Gone to try. @Keith, where did you find that? Been looking most of the afternoon and blowing off my real work. And where specifically are you replacing that please?
edit: I found the lines. They're in /etc/mysql/conf.d/lowendbox.cnf
reedit: No dice. Still the red failed message and nothing in the logs.
I reinstalled the vps yet again, made the changes to lowendscript that @Keith mentioned up there right from the start and things seems to installed fine. At least mysql is up and running,
thanks again
edit: Of course it doesn't help that lowendscript is still broken and on a repository that doesn't allow folks to submit fixes.
ignore_builtin_innodb
default_storage_engine=MyISAM
I've used this config with MariaDB 5.3 (MySQL 5.5?), it was eating about 300MB of my memory, LowEndScript only eats 25MB, lol
