I have an Ubuntu Amazon EC2 instance and I am connecting through putty. I want to download a file from that machine to my local windows machine. How can I do it?
I have a new Ubuntu Micro instance on Amazon EC2. The default ami-8cfa58e5.
I have made a backup of an older MySQL database by snapshotting the volume the data is stored on. I now need to recover from that backup. When I install mysql using: sudo apt-get install mysql-server I get the latest version 5.5. When I then go through and mount the drives per this document: http://aws.amazon.com/articles/1663?_encoding=UTF8&jiveRedirect=1
Everything works ok, but MySQL will not start. I think this may be because the backed up instance is using mysql 5.0.75. I'm not an expert on Linux, how can I install Mysql 5.0.75 to test if that is the cause of my problem?
I have an intermittently occurring problem with my application. It is always under relatively high load (10-50 req/second). Most of the time it runs fantastic, with CPU < 10%. Occasionally (about once per week) it will suddenly ramp up to 100% CPU over the course of about 3 minutes and then stay there causing the server to become unresponsive until I kill the w3wp.exe. I'm continuing to try to debug this problem. In the mean time I need a temporary solution.
Is there a service or tool I can use to monitor the w3wp.exe and automatically kill the process if it goes above 80% utilization for a period of time?
