Fixes

Removing erroneous entries added by admin-ajax.php

delete from wp_{n}_posts where ID = 0 and post_modified = 'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss';

Add primary index before restoring auto_increment

alter table wp_{n}_posts add primary key (ID);
alter table wp_{n}_posts change ID `ID` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment;

Add remaining keys

alter table wp_{n}_posts add key post_name (post_name);
alter table wp_{n}_posts add key type_status_date (post_type, post_status, post_date, ID);
alter table wp_{n}_posts add key post_parent (post_parent);

Future backups

mysqldump --opt wordpress > wordpress.sql

Just using –add-drop-table insufficent in some cases.

Now on cdn: How not to register a dot-kz domain.

The fun really started after YOURLS was installed to handle the shortener system, first question: “where to register bri.kz?”, I went down the list of registrars at KazNIC (nic.kz) trying to find one with English as a language option (Cyrillic is bewildering), I settled on http://www.regtime.net/ (.kz 550 rubels per year roughly $20 in Jan 2010), although their https certificate turned out to be webnames.ru (Firefox mismatch warning good for your sanity).

It turned out, that to pay the registration fee to webnames.ru I needed to use a web currency; I chose WebMoney’s WMZ [USD equivalent], signed up for an account (wmtransfer.com) only to find that I needed another account elsewhere to fund the WMZ purse at WebMoney from my credit card.

Note: this is past midnight, so now early Sunday morning.

Off to savechange.ru, signup, login, fill in WMZ purse number.

Liqpay using Ukrainian bank with MasterCard SecureCode whatsit for verification still wanted to verify me, pending micropayments to card no good since only tracked in GBP what with Liqpay wanting USD, so I talked to Liqpay who eventually talked to my card bank, Liqpay authorised payment, savechange converted it from USD to WMZ and I was able to pay the webnames invoice

Technical

root .htaccess sends bri.kz traffic to briks.si/! which sends it to YOURLS to handle

/.htaccess, mod_rewrite [P] no good all referrers briks.si itself; basic redirect, again no good, no referrers at all; solution [E ..] set environment variable between redirects.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^bri\.kz$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://briks.si/!/$1 [E=HTTP_REFERER:%{HTTP_REFERER}]
