…posted by davidjmedlock:
This blog isn’t quite so much about ColdFusion, but eventually, we’ll tie up all the loose ends, I promise. It will all make sense by mid-April.
Recently, we’ve seen quite a few articles about content distribution and syndication with RSS. You may remember some of these SitePoint Articles:
- [li]Get Off Your RSS! [/li][li]Use Custom Tags to Aggregate RSS Feeds into JSP-Based Web Apps [/li] [li]PHP and XML: Parsing RSS 1.0[/li]
Now, until a couple of months ago, I had been very vaguely aware that it existed, but now that it’s become so popular it has captured my interest more and more. So, I’ve begun researching RSS (Real Simple Syndication) to find out more about its history, its uses, and how I can utilize it on my current sites to increase traffic and visibility.

Installing New MySQL Admin
The new [URL=http://www.sitepoint.com/blog-post-view.php?id=151673]MySQL Administrator[/URL] is looking to be more robust and very enterprise friendly with its tools for managing multiple database servers, replication and disaster recovery tools. Getting this installed is pretty straightforward, however, remember, as MySQL is reminding everyone, that this is an alpha release and hence not intended for production environments. Please backup your data prior to installing on your machine.
Getting the binary download installed for Linux is very simple. Get the file from MySQL at this url –>
http://www.mysql.com/downloads/administrator.html and issue the following commands (recommendations from MySQL):
gzip -dc mysql-administrator-1.0.1a-alpha-linux.tar.gz | tar xv -C /opt
MySQL Administrator’s binary will be installed in /opt/mysql-administrator/bin,
from where you can execute ‘mysql-administrator’ to start the application.
The GUI is also available for Windows if you are administering your MySQL database servers from the Microsoft platform, and can be found on the same link above.
Finally, to build from source please follow these instructions from the MySQL FAQ included with the MySQL Administrator.
