Tips Recover MySQL root Password

One day i forgot myql root user password. Then i found simple steps to change it without reinstall mysql server.

1. Open console and stop mysql service
#/etc/init.d/mysqld stop


2. Then i run this service without password
#mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables

you can run it as a background if you would not use another console (shell)
#mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &


3. Then i open another console and connect to mysql
#mysql -u root

output
mysql>


4. Next, i setup new password for root user
mysql> use mysql;
mysql> update user set password=PASSWORD("NEW-ROOT-PASSWORD") where User='root';
mysql> flush privileges;
mysql> quit


5. Last step is stop mysql service
#/etc/init.d/mysqld stop


6. Finish, and start mysqld and test new password
#/etc/init.d/mysqld start
#mysql -u root -p

Word 2003 “This document couldnot be registered. It will not be possible to create links from other documents to this document.”

One day when i open a document in Ms. Word 2003, I get the message “ This document could not be registered. It will not be possible to create links from other documents to this document .” After searching using google.com and open some website, i have one solution. It’s only one maybe two step that i have to do. I open my services panel and activated my DCOM Server Process Launcher . And, it works, the message no longer show again when i open my document using word 2003. That’s all. I hope it works to you too, if you have same problem. Nb: Open services panel, just open Run (Start–> Run) and type services.msc then Enter .

Website Using HTTPS Protocol

Last week, I changed protocol of my website from http to https. There were steps that i had to do. First, I installed openssl package and mod_ssl # yum install mod_ssl openssl Then, I configured the openssl  and created certificate # cd /etc/pki/tls/certs # make server.key # openssl rsa -in server.key -out server.key # make server.csr # openssl x509 -in server.csr -out server.crt -req -signkey server.key -days 3650 # chmod 400 server.* After that, I changed configuration of httpd/apache #nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf DocumentRoot "/var/www/html" ServerName www.server.world:443 SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/server.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/server.key Last, I restarted the webserver #service httpd restart That's all what i did last week to change my website protocol from http to https.
