Issue launching Aurora: Access denied to Performance Insights - InvalidParameterCombination - amazon-aurora

For some reason i just can't get an Amazon Aurora DB launched. I haven't launched one before but have read many Amazon help / instruction pages. Launching other Amazon products did work well after some digging. This one just doesn't. Any suggestions?
Error:
Access denied to Performance Insights (Service: AmazonRDS; Status Code: 400; Error Code: InvalidParameterCombination; Request ID: 8ef6c7b9-be54-4bd8-aa87-XXXXXXXX)
http://prntscr.com/iug951

Today it works.. selected the same settings as yesterday. All i did different was omit dashes (-) from the database name and other stuff you have to name. If that was the actual cause of the 3h headache yesterday Amazon really sucks it just doesn't tell you that instead of showing a cryptic error message.

I just had the same issue with the same error message, restarting the setup process from the start (with a database name without a dash in it), fixed the issue.

Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) will not start

IIS 10 will not restart on my PC. When I navigate to localhost, I get a 'localhost refused to connect' message. After looking through the event viewer, it turns out that the issue is that the Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) will not start.
The error message given is:
'The Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) encountered an error while handling key generation. This will prevent WAS from starting corrently. The data field contains the error number.'
When I try to start the service manually from the services app, I get the following:
Has anyone experienced this issue before? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I've been trawling the internet for several days trying to find a solution to no avail.
We've run into this issue several times after recent Windows Updates. In all cases, the following worked (got from a Microsoft support rep):
Run the following from an admin Powershell prompt:
reg delete HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WAS\Parameters /v GenerateKeys /f
net start w3svc
The keys will be regenerated, then the IIS AppPools can be started
According to your error message, WAS can not access the machine key when start up. Usually, machine keys are used to encrypt sensitive information in config file, WAS will not be able to start if there is no machine key to use.
The easiest and most common method is to try to uninstall and reinstall WAS.
If it still can not start, try to delete the registry entry NanoSet with cmd.
If the above two methods are useless, you can refer to this to delete machine keys, let WAS create new one while starting.
If somebody is still fighting with this issue, please check Event Viewer under System filter and check for any logs related to WAS. In my case I found the following entry:
The Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) encountered an error while handling key generation. This will prevent WAS from starting currently. The data field contains the error number.
So I just started again CNG Key Isolation service and everything is working now.

CodeIgniter error - unable to connect to database using the provided settings

I have a CodeIgniter setup that has been running fine for the past 2 months and recently I keep getting:
CodeIgniter error- unable to connect to database using the provided settings
I've recently added a new domain that has a landing page for the database login (zPanel), but I don't see how that could have caused a problem--maybe the page keeps getting directory attacked or something, but I'm not sure.
Is there a way to check if this is the problem through logs? I'm at dead ends with this problem, as when I restart the server (DigitalOcean) it works fine again.
Really not sure. If anyone else has had a similar problem, I'd love to hear your solution.
Thanks.
I think your mysql is going down so Codeigniter can't connect to your database settings.
Please login to SSH and check processes by "TOP" comment. See what is using resources ram or cpu.
And check your mysql conf settings, be sure that everything written if its empty it will cause alot of problems.

Can't create/write to file '/var/tmp/#sql_2f6_0.MYI

For the past three to four months, we have our application live and running, we haven't deployed any new fixes / changes on Live. However ever unfortunately, we noticed that application has stopped running.
Following is the issue we observed from our logs :
"Can't create/write to file '/var/tmp/#sql_2f6_0.MYI" .
It would be really appreciable if anyone of you can extend your help.
Check the services and the User for which your Mysql is giving you this error. It is very much possible that any of the services might be down, or the User by which you are using the DB is not getting authenticated.
You or the user that handles your SQL service doesn't have permission to /var/tmp/. You can fix this by using chmod or Security permissions, depending on which platform you're on.

DB2 Full Text Search IQQD0040E Error

I have a production database running DB2 at 10.1.2 workgroup (OpenSuse 12.2) and I have Full Text Search running pretty well there. Now I'm trying to build a test enviroment, but when I turn over de production backup into test machine with 10.1.2 express-c the FTS is presenting this error:
<message>IQQD0040E The client specified the wrong authentication token.
com.ibm.es.nuvo.inyo.common.InyoFactoryWrapper.authenticate(InyoFactoryWrapper.java:203)
com.ibm.es.nuvo.inyo.common.InyoFactoryWrapper.getHandler(InyoFactoryWrapper.java:85)

java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:614)
java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:769)</message>
The redbook says to me that this error cause is: "Usually this error occurs when there are 2 or more text search instances configured with the same port number and one instance is already running".
I've already searched other instances but I've only found one. So "usually" does not apply to my situation.
Anyone know what else I can do to fix that?
Best regards,
jacker
I've found out a solution. When the backup is transported to a new instance of DB2, de FTS application engage it communication with a token. After restored, we just need to go to the bin directory of FTS, commonly at /home/db2inst1/db2tss/bin and run this command:
configTool generateToken -seed <username> -configPath ~/sqllib/db2tss/config
Hope this help anyone who's passing by this trouble.
Regards.

AspNet Membership: Warning: Fatal error 9001 occurred

I'm setting up a new website and the site uses asp.net membership. This was working fine but today when I try and log in or do anything such as add a new user/role in the asp.net configuration wizard I get:
Warning: Fatal error 9001 occurred at Jul 30 2012 7:52PM. Note the error and time, and contact your system administrator.
Searching online, it seems to suggest that the logs are full, but I'm advised by the website host that there is ample free space, so I dont really know what to try next.
Has anyone come accross this before and if so, how did you manage to resolve it?
Thanks
I have had this problem recently too and after mountains of research it appears to be common when a database is set to AUTO CLOSE. I set all the databases to AUTO CLOSE = FALSE. This started with one database then went over to two and the next it was on all of them. I simply restarted the SQL Server Instance Service instead of restoring databases. Another way to fix the symptom is to take the problematic database offline and bring it back online again.
As it turns out this was a database issue. I couldn't even create a new table or drop a table and ultimately had to get the database restored, which solved everything.
