In this tutorial, I will provide step by step process to setup MySQL replication. We will create one master and one slave. We will use two CentOS 6 servers - one for master and the other for slave. This following steps have been tested on two virtual machines.

Our master server will have IP address 192.168.122.10.
Our slave server will have IP address 192.168.122.12.

You might want to run SELinux in permissive mode.

Perform these steps on the master:

Install MySQL server.

yum install mysql-server -y

Bizsense is an open source CRM project which uses Zend Framework. The open source project was started by Binary Vibes about three years ago and was released under the GPL V3 license. Some of you might have noticed that I am no longer active in Binary Vibes.

I wanted Bizsense project development to continue to nourish, flourish and cherish. Therefore, there we did a few changes. Bizsense is now released under the new BSD license. Bizsense uses Google open source project hosting which offers issue tracker, Wiki and source control. Bizsense now uses Mercurial for source control. The documentation is published at docs.jubero.com. In order to contribute to Bizsense, signing a CLA is no longer required.

Here are the project links:

• Bizsense project home page
• Bizsense end user documentation
• Bizsense developer documentation
• We hang out at #bizsense channel on Freenode IRC network.
• We also have a mailing list. Send an email to bizsensebms@googlegroups.com

Redmine is a software project management tool which has Wiki, issue tracer, source code browser and other cool features built in. If you want to install Redmine with MySQL and Nginx on CentOS 6, follow these steps.

I always use EPEL repository with CentOS. EPEL provides additional RPM packages. We can use Nginx and some Ruby gem packages from EPEL.

Enable EPEL:

rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm

Install required packages:

yum install nginx mysql-server ruby rubygem-rack rubygem-rake ruby-mysql

Redmine requires a Ruby gem called i18n. I couldn't find the RPM for i18n gem. I had to install i18n gem using the gem installer.

gem install -v=0.4.2 i18n

Start MySQL server:

/etc/init.d/mysqld start

Use the MySQL secure installation program:

mysql_secure_installation

Connect to the MySQL server as root:

mysql -u root -p

Create a MySQL database and user for Redmine:
mysql> CREATE DATABASE redmine character set utf8;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON redmine.* TO 'redmine'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'secret_password' WITH GRANT OPTION;

On 11 October, 2009 we, the members of the Bangalore MySQL User Group had a meeting in the Binary Vibes office. We had an informal talk on various topics. Overall, it was a good meeting. My presentation - MySQL Naming Conventions went well.

MySQL has a query logging feature. In order to use it you have to first enable it.

Enabling the general query log

Step 1: Set your log file in /etc/my.cnf

vi /etc/my.cnf

In the [mysqld] section specify the general log file name:

log=/var/log/mysqld.general.log

Step 2: Create the file and make sure it is owned by the system user mysql

touch /var/log/mysqld.general.log
chown mysql.mysql /var/log/mysqld.general.lo

We discussed how to install LAMP in one of our previous articles. Some of you may be wondering how to create databases, users and tables on your newly installed MySQL server. This blog post introduces the preliminary steps to work with your new LAMP server.

We are going to learn the following:

• Changing MySQL user password
• Creating databases
• Deleting databases
• Creating MySQL user accounts
• Deleting MySQL user accounts
• Connecting to the MySQL server from the command line

While developing applications creating test data can be a tedious process to the developers. You don't have to do the same things like creating a user for testing over and over again.

Use a data generator. There are numerous tools freely available online that can provide the test data for you.

Do you want to export data stored in a MySQL database to CSV file?

The solution is damn easy if you already know how to connect to MySQL database and read or display data from a PHP script. Let's start working on it.

Let us first create a sample table. In our example scenario, let us create a table to store contact information.

CREATE TABLE `contacts` (
`first_name` VARCHAR( 50 ) NOT NULL ,
`middle_name` VARCHAR( 50 ) NOT NULL ,
`last_name` VARCHAR( 50 ) NOT NULL ,
`email` VARCHAR( 320 ) NOT NULL ,
`phone` VARCHAR( 20 ) NOT NULL
) ENGINE = MYISAM;
