How To Set Up MySQL Database Replication With SSL Encryption On CentOS 5.4
==========================================================================

This tutorial describes how to set up database replication in MySQL using an SSL connection for encryption (to make it impossible for hackers to sniff out passwords and data transferred between the master and slave). MySQL replication allows you to have an exact copy of a database from a master server on another server (slave), and all updates to the database on the master server are immediately replicated to the database on the slave server so that both databases are in sync. This is not a backup policy because an accidentally issued DELETE command will also be carried out on the slave; but replication can help protect against hardware failures though.

How To Set Up WebDAV With Apache2 On Ubuntu 9.10
================================================

This guide explains how to set up WebDAV with Apache2 on an Ubuntu 9.10 server. WebDAV stands for Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning and is a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol that allow users to directly edit files on the Apache server so that they do not need to be downloaded/uploaded via FTP. Of course, WebDAV can also be used to upload and download files.

Efficient High-Available LoadBalanced Cluster On CentOS 5.3 (Direct Routing Method)
===================================================================================

This article explains how to set up an LVS cluster of load balanced virtual servers with Heartbeat and Ldirectord On CentOS 5.3.The load balancer sits between the user and two (or more) backend Apache/IIS web servers that hold the same content. Not only does the load balancer distribute the requests to the two backend Apache/IIS servers, it also checks the health of the backend servers. If one of them is down, all requests will automatically be redirected to the remaining backend server.
