Typo and Rails / MySql problems
The blog is back up again (also moved to the root of the domain) – and hopefully running quicker now thanks to a quick change of hosting setup (Apache and fcgi to pound proxying to mongrel_cluster).
One quick note to anyone experiencing the following problem with Typo running on Debian Linux:
Lost connection to MySQL server during query
The recommended ‘fix’ is to gem install mysql. Doing that on a Debian machine will result in numerous errors unless you also do the following:
$ apt-get install libmysqlclient10-dev $ gem install mysql
(Thanks to the owner of this blog for the pointer, found via google).
