Syncing data between two Ubuntu servers using rsync
This is the continuation of the post ‘Setting up automatic backups for MySQL‘ Keeping in mind the previous documentation, the IP address of the main server is 192.168.0.222 (This is the main/live server also called the HMS server) and that of the backup server is 192.168.0.111 (This is the backup server or HMS backup server).

Setting up automated backups for MySQL on Linux
Setting up automated backups on Linux for your MySQL backups are quite easy, thanks to a script called automysqlbackup available on sourceforge.net. The configuration of the script is as simple as editing the script and changing a few parameters to reflect the settings on your server.
Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS Installation
Build your server hardware RAID array as required. Follow the instructions that came with your server. Purchase, request for or download the 64 bit version of Ubuntu Server from here. Follow the instructions on the same page for writing the downloaded .iso file to CD. We will not be covering software RAID in this post. For those who have an IBM Server and are using RAID 1 (Mirroring) and the install fails at the end of the installation, check this post for a workaround to complete the installation.
The instructions in violet are specifically for the installation of EHA’s HIS/HMS software. If you are not following these instructions but are looking for a generic install of Ubuntu 10, please ignore the instructions in violet.
EHA users, please ignore the instructions in red. For you the instructions in violet are mandatory!!!
Configuring the HMS/HIS server
You need to setup Ubuntu 10 as outlined here before you can follow these instructions. If you have, then you can login to your server from the keyboard. If your server is in an awkward place, you can also connect to your server using SSH. If you are using a Windows box to SSH from, then you need to use Putty which can be downloaded from here. Download putty.exe and run it. Make sure that your server is connected to the Internet for the configuration process.
Review: Clikstand for the Trangia burner
I’m out for a post lunch walk in Landour, Musoorie. Its good exercise, an opportunity to breathe the fresh mountain air and walk through the misty monsoon clouds enjoying the sound of the rain drumming away on my Tumi umbrella. It also takes my mind temporarily off the software deployment exercise that has been going on for more than 3 weeks at Landour Community Hospital and the list of 70 plus (and rising) unfixed bugs in the software.

[Solved] JRE persistent printing prompt
We’ve had this annoying problem when printing from an applet from our web based HIS software. The applet security window pops up (we’re using Firefox) with the prompt, “The applet has requested access to the printer. Do you want to allow this action?“ It also has a check box for “always allowing this applet to access the printer” . Continue Reading >>
