Find the drive name:
fdisk -l
*In this example we will use /dev/sdc
Now access parted to prepare the drive for formatting and mounting:
sudo parted /dev/sdc
Now set the following:
(parted) mklabel gpt (parted) unit TB (parted) mkpart primary 0.00TB 4.00TB (Changing 4.00TB to the size of your drive) (parted) quit
If like me you have issues with a blog duplicating/stealing your blog posts and the following to your WordPress theme’s functions.php (Appearance > Editor):
remove_action('do_feed_rdf', 'do_feed_rdf', 10, 1);
remove_action('do_feed_rss', 'do_feed_rss', 10, 1);
remove_action('do_feed_rss2', 'do_feed_rss2', 10, 1);
remove_action('do_feed_atom', 'do_feed_atom', 10, 1);
This disables the /feed form your website and hopefully stops content being duplicated by other ‘bloggers’ through a plugin.

Place the following script in a directory of your choice:
#<?bash
#!/bin/bash
#
# #automysqlcheck.sh
#
# This is a small bash script that checks all mysql databases for errors
# and mails a log file to a specified email address. All variables are
# hardcoded for ease of use with cron. Any databases you wish not to check
# should be added to the DBEXCLUDE list, with a space in between each name.
#
# Note that DBEXCLUDE will only work with GNU sed, as BSD regular expressions
# on Darwin seem to have some trouble with word boundary anchors.

# Change Log
#=====================================================================
#
# VER 1.1 - (2005-02-22)
# Named script automysqlcheck.sh
# Added PATH variable to make this script more CRON friendly
# Removed the $DBTABLES loop and replaced it with single command
# that executes the CHECK TABLE command on all tables in a given DB
# Changed code to only check MyISAM and InnoDB tables
# Cleaned up output to make the email prettier
# Modified script to skip databases that have no tables
# VER 1 - (2004-09-24)
# Initial release by sbray@csc.uvic.ca
# system variables (change these according to your system)

*Make sure to update user, password, dbhost, log file location and DBNAMES/DBEXCLUE with your own details.
Now make the script executable (chmod +x scriptname.sh) and add a cronjob to run when required e.g.
01 20 * * * /home/user/bin/mysqlcheckscript.sh
*cron will run at 1.20am everyday.
A customer asked me to add a SRV record to their domain but documentation on how to add this record is very slim.
To add the SRV record:
1. Open the zone file > Records > Select SRV:
2. Enter the record details similar to the following (insert your own records):
3. You will notice there is no option to set priority. To do this we need to modify the DNS record in the database. Navigate to your phpmyadmin (e.g. http://10.10.10.10/phpmyadmin). Lookup the domain in the dns_rr table and edit the record, changing aux to the priority value (100 in this case):
4. That’s everything in place now perform a lookup with MX Toolbox:
1. Remove Yoast Analytics plugin if installed
*caused a number of tracking and confirmation issues
2. Make sure Google Analytics Universal tracking code is setup
3. Edit the contact 7 form > Scroll to “Additional Settings” > Insert the following:
on_sent_ok: "ga('send', 'event', 'Contact Form', 'sent');"
4. Login to the analytics admin panel and add a new goal
Goal Setup – Custom
Goal Description – Name and Type: Event
Goal Details:
Save
5. Fill in the form > Take a look at Real Time reporting – Conversions to see the Contact Form goal in action
