@MichaelHampton Right, for sure. But some SE sites say "for Xers" but actually welcome newbie questions of the sort that Xers would have particular expertise in. I thought SF might be one of those sites -- but I guess not.
I deleted the mysqld.log and then tried to login again, nothing changed, still getting #1045 Cannot log in to the MySQL server — nd8adApr 13 '12 at 8:49
@msh210 I think there's stuff that's too basic for each SE site. I wouldn't expect to go to, say, Mi Yodeya and ask "What is the Torah?" I'd expect that to be closed very quickly. (Though maybe I'm mistaken...)
On SF, that bar is much higher than on most other SE sites.
@ScottPack I told him (last year... looking through some old stuff) to check in the log file for information on why his phpMyAdmin install gave him a login error when he tried to do some administrative task with it. Instead, he deleted the log file, ignored my answer, and complained it was still broken.
While the vast majority of SE sites are focused on particular topics SF is focused more on a particular class of user. That being people who either do this for a living or engage in practices one would expect in a professional environment.
@MichaelHampton would you mind sending it over to SU? I don't see a preexisting Q there that it's a dupe of, though I may not have used the right search terms.
@FalconMomot Good point, but I'm hosted services, so it's less of a reputation. People pay for dedicated servers from me. Some want a control panel, and I don't deal in cPanel or Plesk, so I only offer Webmin. If they get hacked, I'm as blameable as Ford is for bad drivers. Now if the servers themselves catch on fire and explode... as Fords are wont to do...
Found On Road Dead. What does it spell?
Having said that, some of my favorite muscle cars are Fords.

@FalconMomot So a while back I was going through tons, and tons, and tons of old tags, old questions, and searched the deep StackExchanges for crappy questions. I really annoyed everyone by using up all my flags each day for months I think. I was assigned the title of ServerFault's krill, eating the scum off of the big whale ServerFault.
@msh210 OK, here's an attempt at a simple answer: Whatever browser window you entered the URL in, that process opens the TCP connection. The operating system associates that network connection with that process. So when the reply comes back, the OS sends it back to the process that originated the connection, because it's keeping track of all the open connections.
It appears that it's possible to select the "Other" off-topic close reason, and vote to close without actually providing a close reason. This results in:

@JoelESalas Yeah, I mean we use a tool that logs what we do anyway, so we just get dropped into a root shell, but if you don't have a gateway than that file can be useful
@MichaelHampton UGH you mean we have accountability on VTC'ing now :(

@Iain Sounds like a plan. My horse managed to get a deepish gash on one of his forelegs and it's all swollen, so here's hoping it doesn't get infected...
@Iain yeah, the older horse that I take lessons on is really not at his best right now... he seems to constantly be in the same kind of food coma that we get after a really good meal. Which kind of makes sense.
Post-prandial somnolence (colloquially known as The Itis or a food coma) is a normal state of drowsiness or lassitude following a meal. Post-prandial somnolence has two components – a general state of low energy related to activation of the parasympathetic nervous system in response to mass in the gastrointestinal tract, and a specific state of sleepiness caused by hormonal and neurochemical changes related to the rate at which glucose enters the bloodstream and its downstream effects on amino acid transport in the central nervous system.

Leave it to science to have such a large word for "food coma"
Filtering normal traffic from hacks is difficult. How to do it depends on why the traffic is consuming excessive load on your service.
If it is a SYN flood, you could mitigate that with firewall rules that limit the number of connections a host can open. This is easy to do using iptables with ...
@MichaelHampton Please tell me how can I get the information you need since I have no idea what you mean by Apache Configuration. Should I include my httpd.conf here or what? — Hamed Momeni2 mins ago
@FalconMomot or just ignore it. Deleting it or leaving it won't affect your rep either way, if that's what you're thinking about. People will downvote for whatever reason they like, that's just a fact of life.
we have contractors working on site this morning. We have a camera go offline in the area of the building they're working in. They say they never touched it, but the electrical fuseboard begs to differ. Clearly this is going to go well.

I should be getting a PS Vita this week that I won for "letter of the month" to a gaming magazine. Do I keep it or trade it in and put the money to a PS 4?
@FalconMomot Yeah, I had a cursory look but couldn't find it. I'm confident that his wildcards are fine, and that random.carrie would work for example. Unless he added a record for *.random.carrie, then he'd have to add a specific record for random.carrie
@dan yep that's an option. I don't know if any games are coming with it or not, if so then I might give it a play. If not then I don't see the point in buying games for it if I'm going to sell it

Lobby Lud is a fictional character invented in August 1927 by the Westminster Gazette, a British newspaper, now defunct. The name derives from the telegraphic address of the newspaper ("Lobby, Ludgate"). Anonymous employees of the newspaper visited seaside resorts. The paper printed details of the town, a description of that day's Lobby Lud and a pass phrase. Anyone carrying the newspaper could challenge Lobby Lud with the phrase and receive five pounds (about £}} in ). People on holiday were known to be less likely to buy a newspaper. Some towns and large factories had holiday fortnight...
Basically.. A british newspaper made a giveaway where you'd go up to a guy (matching a description), at a seaside resort and say "You are Lobby Lud, AICMFP" and he'd give you a fiver.
A bit like an EDL rally, these days. They go, en masse to a holiday destination, accuse people of being someone they're not, and expect money.
I should clarify that I didn't attend as an EDL supporter, just an independent observer. Stood, cleverly, slap bang between them and the UAF (Who, in truth, don't attract a much better crowd even if their message is correct)
I've got a certain amount of sympathy for people who are out of their depth and struggling with something who post here, but that still doesn't mean we can polish the turds masquerading as questions that some of them come up with
