So for the past year and change I have been part of a team developing/bootstraping a little website called Mitusis.com. After a lot of up and downs, hair pulling and lot of work, our site is now live and pretty close to what we had in mind when we

set out to build it. So what is it? In a nutshell, Mitusis is an online group management platform that focuses on content monetization, high signal to noise ratio and protecting user privacy.

It's that time of the year when the sun is warm (in the northern hemisphere, that is) and a new BugLog is released. BugLogHQ version 1.6 is now available for download in RiaForge and GitHub for your bug collecting pleasure.

The latest release to BugLog (1.5.202) makes it very easy to build a custom "Heartbeat Monitor" to check the status of a web application and send you an alert via Email or SMS whenever there are signs of trouble.

Finally I was able to put aside other projects for a little bit so that I could spend some time doing some needed updates to BugLogHQ. BugLog is a ColdFusion tool used to collect and aggregate bug reports from multiple applications on multiple
... [More]
servers.
This update pushes the version number to 1.5. The main new features are:
(from the readme.txt):
Extensions are now stored on a database instead of an XML file
Creating a rule instance is now much more user friendly because application, host and severity codes can be selected via dropdowns; or can also be prepopulated from an existing bug report.
Added support for defining settings for multiple environments (dev,qa,prod1,prod2,etc). Once the environment is detected buglog can override any setting with custom values.
Added option to disable editing settings through the UI (useful if you have your config file versioned and only want to configure buglog that way)
Added the "BugLog Digest" which is a configurable and periodic email summary of all reports received in the last X hours.
Rewrote the "iphone" UI to be for mobiles in general (now its accessible at /bugLog/mobile), also there is an improved platform detection when going to /bugLog. If you go with any mobile browser you should get redirected to the new UI, otherwise you go to the regular desktop UI
Multiple bug fixes
Download the new version from here
Upgrading is pretty easy, you just need to replace your /bugLog folder with the new one and execute the appropriate sql script on your DB. You can find the upgrade scripts in /bugLog/install/migration/1_4_to_1_5/*.sql.
Also, you might want to keep a copy of your /bugLog/config directory. After updating the /bugLog dir, you will need to manually edit the main config file in case you made changes to the default DSN/username/password values, all other config settings can be entered through the UI.
The first time you login to the /hq admin UI you will be prompted to update your password. Also, if you have any rules defined, once you to the Rules screen, you will be prompted if you want bugLog to copy all your rule definitions into the database. Just click 'Yes' and sit back and relax while BugLog does the hard stuff for you.
New Mailing List
Also, I created a Google Groups mailing list to provide a place where anyone could go for help or post any comments, suggestions or random thoughts about BugLog.
To join, visit:
http://groups.google.com/group/bugloghq
So, please take it for a spin and please let me know if anyone finds any bugs or find things that are not very clear.
Have fun! [Less]

Today I experienced one of those errors that are not related to the actual stuff that you are working on, but because of it you can't work on anything else. The error I was getting
... [More]
was:
com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLNonTransientConnectionException:
Could not create connection to database server.
Attempted reconnect 3 times. Giving up.
This started happening while I was testing the DSN creation feature on my employer's website. You know the drill, trying different things, run again, put the wrong settings, run again, put the right settings, run again, and so on; until at one point I started getting the above error.
No problem, I thought, lets restart Tomcat/ColdFusion.... Nope, same error...
Let's check with the other devs to see if they have the same problem... Nope, everyone is fine....
Let's manually kill the connections from my host... Nope, same error...
Let's drop the database and create it again.... Nope, same error...
Let's check the number of connections on the MySQL server.... Nope, they are fine...
The only thing I couldn't do or even try was restarting the MySQL server since it is shared by other users and applications. It was "very" frustrating.
So after a couple of hours of trying different things, I fired up a terminal and tried this:
$ mysql -h -u -p
ERROR 1129 (HY000): Host '' is blocked because of many connection errors;
unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts'
Lo and behold, finally some light into the issue! The MySQL server was actually blocking my host from connecting to it. I imagine that this was because of the repeated errors while toying with the create dsn functionality. Anyway, after logging into the server from another host and running that command (mysqladmin flush-hosts) I was able to connect again with no problems.
So there you have, if you see that error, it might be that your MySQL server is not liking you at the moment :) [Less]
