Setting up Google Apps to receive emails on multiple domain.

Many times we have multiple domains for our business like domain.in,domain.co.in and domain.com.
And our customers usually make mistakes while tying email as mixing up various domain. So, its important for us to receive all the mails on various domains on the same inbox. This can be achieved in Google Apps environment.

To do this :


  1. Login to the the control panel of google apps https://www.google.com/a/cpanel/
  2. Click on the More Controls at the bottom of your page.
  3. Select Domains.
  4. Click Add a Domain alias.
  5. Enter your new domain.
  6. Verify the domain.
  7. To do this you would have to login with Google Webmaster Tools account and add google app admin as an owner for that domain.
  8. Once the domain is verified add the MX Records.
  9. In Big Rock I DNS Management control panel I was getting a weird error as conflict with the CNAME record. For this I modified my @ CNAME record temporarily adding * in place of @ and then added all the MX records based on following table and then re modified CNAME record replacing * with @.  Set any TTL values to the maximum allowed.
    MX Server address Priority
    ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. 10
    ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. 20
    ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. 20
    ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 30
    ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 30
  10. Now wait for MX records to be verified by google. It can take upto 48 hours. So be patient.
  11. Once, it verified. Tada now you have one more email id for inbox, your old user name @ new domain.

Breaking open https://web.whatsapp.com/

Today whatsapp have launched an online/web version of their overly popular smartphone messaging app. I was very much interested in seeing the architecture of this app because as far as i knew, they never stored messages on their server but all the data was only stored in users phone. So I started to look under the hood of the webapp and what I saw was a beauty. First let me list down the frameworks they have used in creating this app: React .js : A JAVASCRIPT LIBRARY FOR BUILDING USER INTERFACES from Facebook. Underscore.js  : Unerscore is a JavaScript library that provides a whole mess of useful functional programming helpers without extending any built-in objects. It’s the answer to the question: “If I sit down in front of a blank HTML page, and want to start being productive immediately, what do I need?” … and the tie to go along with jQuery's tux and Backbone's suspenders. Velocity.js : Velocity is an animation engine with the same API as jQuery's $.animate(...

Problems with mysql.sock

Sometimes while working on Linux, mysql.sock may get deleted by mistake due to some softwares.. in such cases any access to mysql wont be possible as the sock file defines the socket connection for mysql. It will give an error of the following type: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) In such cases follow these steps to reconfigure mysql: Delete the log files with the names: ib_logfile0, ib_logfile1 and ibdata1 in the /var/lib/mysql directory Then type: "mysqld_safe --user=mysql &" This will automatically create mysql.sock file and even the new logs files. This is a very simple solution which I used recently and decided to share with you people.
