Empulse Hosting and other online works
So I’ve been a little busy setting up a few new projects that I have going on right now. The first site to come online is Southwest PC Direct, Joe’s and my new online computer component store. You will a lot of other useful information there also compiled by Joe and me.
The next project is Empulse Hosting [dot] com. We will be offering web and other online services to the masses. I will also be having information on setting up your first site.
I will also be starting a number of online resources at Squidoo on Linux and Open Source topics. I will keep you updated on other further developments.
RPM Database Corruption
So I recently came across a situation where rpm would just hang or give out transaction errors. It turns out that the database cache files became corrupt. Here is an example of one of the errors:
warning: waiting for transaction lock on /var/lock/rpm/transaction
# cd /var/lib/rpm
Look for the files that start with double underscores “__”. These are the cache files, and you will want to delete all of them.
# rpm __*
# rpm –rebuilddb
