ERROR 1130 (HY000): Host ‘hostname’ is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server

After a bit of research, the fix in my case was to “GRANT” user root to connect to MySQL on any hosts. By default, user “root” was only allowed to connect to localhost and 127.0.0.1 hosts of MySQL.

#GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO ‘root’@’%’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘<roots-password>’ WITH GRANT OPTION;

Create Your Own Web Server With BIND And Apache On CentOS 5 (Simplified)

Installing necessary packages

yum install bind bind-chroot bind-libs bind-utils caching-nameserver -y

After installing the necessary packages you are ready to start configuring named.conf. You may check and see that there is no named.conf in your /etc/ directory in Centos 5. No worries here you can see a sample named.conf file. Now create the file /etc/named.conf and copy/paste the content of the sample config file – just make sure you replace website.com with your own domain name.

Referential integrity

Referential integrity is a property of data which, when satisfied, requires every value of one attribute (column) of a relation (table) to exist as a value of another attribute in a different (or the same) relation (table).[1]

For referential integrity to hold in a relational database, any field in a table that is declared a foreign key can contain only values from a parent table’s primary key or a candidate key. For instance, deleting a record that contains a value referred to by a foreign key in another table would break referential integrity. Some relational database management systems (RDBMS) can enforce referential integrity, normally either by deleting the foreign key rows as well to maintain integrity, or by returning an error and not performing the delete. Which method is used may be determined by a referential integrity constraint defined in a data dictionary.
