Management System / Public Website / Signup / Account Manager

Overview

These systems are all running under the same apache instance on the mail server.
The main ingredients are: apache 1.x, mysql, perl, mod_perl and template toolkit.

The webserver can be stopped with:

apachectl stop

and must be started with:

apachectl startssl

If you run apachectl start none of the ssl-enabled pages will work.

The database may be stopped and started as follows:

Management System (mgmt)

It is installed under /usr/local/www/

Errors

"Lock wait timeout exceeded"

delete error - Can't delete a2206e24: DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction [for Statement "DELETE FROM invoice WHERE inv_ref=? "] at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/DBIx/ContextualFetch.pm line 51. at /usr/local/www/mgmt/Plugin/Billing.pm line 1934

This is the result of an unclean submit/commit. Usually from an error or a double click on something that should have been single click. To clear this up, restart the database:

mail /usr/local/www/scripts# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh stop
mysqldmail /usr/local/www/scripts#

It takes a minute to shutdown. I keep running the command until it says it isn't running, then I start it:

mail /usr/local/www/scripts# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh stop
 mysqldmail /usr/local/www/scripts# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh stop
 mysqldmail /usr/local/www/scripts# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh stop
mysql-server isn't running
mail /usr/local/www/scripts# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh start
 mysqldmail /usr/local/www/scripts#
