Mapserver on CentOS install guide
by Richard Martin on Jan.16, 2009, under GIS
I’ve been promising myself I’d sort this out for the greater good but over a year…. so here goes….
If you are even more lazy than me then install HostGIS – Gregor will save the day…. it’s the best install of GIS stuff I’ve ever seen….
But onto CentOS and Mapserver etc…..
Real time replication for linux and PostgreSQL
by Richard Martin on Jan.16, 2009, under Linux admin, PostgreSQL
I’ve been playing with this for years. Nothing works without major work – OK I’m lazy. Now I can spend $500 and get pretty good replication for my linux servers, single windows server, and all the code, stuff and my precious PostgreSQL databases – at last. I love Bucardo for great FREE replication and now I know how it works I’ll be using all over the place but if you want an easy life and good sleep check out R1 software
Boy, it’s made my life a lot easier…….
unless you don’t backup your CDP linux backup software database….. and then you lose ALL your backups…. so if you use CDP backup software backup your /usr/r1soft directly ALL the time…. if that directory gets corrupted – you’re screwed….
