ManMan reviews
,
the horror story no one wants. My mysql server stopped working. And I got a warning message from my “server watch” service.
First I thought, ok lets see whats up. And browsed to my site. To see:
The mysqli error was: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2).
Man, and then I tried to fix this problem, but something must gone wild. Cant reinstall mysql, no way to purge it. Or remove it.
Every time I tried to reinstall a new problem went up. Nothing worked. The problem stays. Try to link it, recreate it, reinstalled, purged,
copied and so on. No chance…. I have no clue whats wrong. Even the “almighty” google wasnt a help. All solutions doesnt worked. so I have
to reinstall my vserver 
And I still dont know why my mysql.sock vanished. I dont touched the server in the time where it could happened….
If you get a error message like this one:
The installed version of PHP GD does not support image rotations. It was probably compiled using the official GD libraries from http://www.libgd.org instead of the GD library bundled with PHPPHP
. You should recompile PHP –with-gd using the bundled GD library. See: http://www.php.net/manual/en/image.setup.php. An implementation of imagerotate in PHP will used in the interim.
And you run a debian LinuxLinux server and you have access to it. And you don´t want to recompile (it) . Here is the solution for it:
You could use the dotdeb repository. It has everything you need. Just set this sources:
deb http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all
deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all
In your: /etc/apt/sources.list file
RunRun reviews apt-get or aptitude, and your done

Just found out: OsDate dosnt like piwik. If you add the piwik javasript. OsDate stops working. Maybe I will look into it. Or I will use crawltrack. Looks very promising. Cause it dosnt output any javascript or anything else. The script is only executed at server side. But it limits the information you could gather. For example no “click heat map”… But it should work with nearly every software you could think of. Without the javascript problems The another interesting thing is that crawltrack tries to protect your site against hackers and intrusions. But I dont know how far they are with this protection and how good it is….
