I have 6 google VM instance which have been shut down due to owing, I currently can't pay but need access to some particular files requested by an important client.
I need your help to gain access to the directory in which my WordPress files are installed.
There is no way to access your files unless you communicate your issue with the Google Cloud Platform through its Support. Contact the billing support team through a Support Ticket, Chat, Mail or Phone.
You may also report your issue with Issue Tracker. Please make sure to file your ticket under the right component.

I launched a game to the Google Play store recently and it was going good until now. I just received an email from Google that says that "One or more of your apps contains an Intent Redirection vulnerability that puts user data at risk " and tells me I need to fix it by August 13.
I personally don't collect or demand any user data or info. However, I used Google Admob ads with Facebook mediation and Unity ads in my game which may be the cause of this problem. So, my question is how to overcome this problem? They also said in the email to make changes in the manifest file. If any one has a similar problem and knows the solution for it, your help would be appreciated.
Here is the email:
"One or more of your apps contains an Intent Redirection vulnerability that puts user data at risk. On August 13, 2019, any apps that contain unfixed security vulnerabilities beyond the dates listed on your Play Console alerts will be removed from Google Play.
Action required
Sign in to your Play Console.
Select Alerts to see which apps contain a security vulnerability, and review the guidance on how to resolve the vulnerability.
Update your affected apps to fix the vulnerabilities.
Submit the updated versions of your affected apps.
Upon resubmission, your app will be reviewed again. This process can take several hours. If the app passes review and is published successfully then no further action is required. If the app fails review then the new app version will not be published and you will receive notification via email."
I was having the same issue "intent redirection your app(s) are vulnerable to intent redirection" and I added exported="false" in every activity, but still got rejected, then I realized the problem was in one of the payment libraries I was using, all I had to do is update the library and the new app update got live.
my issue was in RazorPay payment gateway, I updated it from 1.6.3 to 1.6.6 (latest)
implementation 'com.razorpay:checkout:1.6.6'
they already mentioned this issue here, check it out https://github.com/razorpay/razorpay-android-sample-app/issues/202
I have a same issue, actually Latest Unity Add Xiaomi SDK by default which cause this issue.
Simple remove Xiaomi from your Unity it will fix the issue.
We had received a similar email, In the Play Console/Alert tab, we found this
for us, the reason is "com.androidnative.features.social.common.SocialProxyActivity.StartActivity"
which come from Android Native asset[Ultimate Mobile] - Unity3D.
We used that asset for Advertisements, In-app purchase and play game services instead of using the original SDK. So the possible solution is to remove that asset from our game and use the original SDK.
Here is the Screenshot of my alert.
There are several points to keep in mind to resolve that issue:
The most confusing: you must rollout affected application fixed APK/AAB to 100% on all tracks where it had place to be. Important note is that among others you must rollout production track release to 100% in order to Google to reconstruct your issue.
In the new version of Play Console there is no way to find out any specific information about the issue so you should email Google Support to ask for details. As a respone you may possibly get obfuscated method or class signature, so you need to deobfuscate it.
Read carefully through official document to address issues and resolve them. Our application got rejected because SMS BroadcastReceiver did not apply any permission restraints.

The problem is in the UnityChannel.aar file, you need to open it with the help of the archiver and open the AndroidManifest.XML. I in the line android:exported="true" wrote a false as indicated in the article in Google. Now publish the version and if the error will no longer be reported.
I had the same issue. Just remove xiaomi app game centre from your unity>>game build option. Disabling it will surely clear out the issue.
I am working on a web app that includes a map using the Google Maps Javascript API. It works on our development server, but whenever trying to access it on stage or production using our company domain, I get an RefererDeniedMapError.
The docs at https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#referer-denied-map-error clearly state that this error means Google has blocked our domain for violating ToS. An appeal was submitted but Google claims the domain is not blocked and to see further help here. I've already turned off all API restrictions and removed all referrer restrictions as well, but are still getting the same problems.
I can access the app by going directly to the web app server, but anytime I go through our company's domain name, the error returns, which leads me to believe that we are in fact blocked.
Has anyone experienced an issue like this or know of a workaround for this? I've looked through the related posts on the topic but have not found anything useful info to help resolve the problem.
Edit:
The website is using sensors to track packages in the mail for our customers and alerts them if the sensor gets too much light, is dropped, etc. There are no restriction methods at all. I've added a couple screenshots showing the maps working on development but not during testing.
Map working in development
Map not working on test server
At first look, it just seems to be a normal restriction error, however, since you've said that there are currently no restrictions applied in your API key and is working properly in server-side but not in production, this seems to be an issue with your API key, can you try to generate a new API key and use it in your website? If the issue still persist, then this will require a technical support from Google Maps Platform as this may be an issue in the GCP Console. You may file a support case via https://console.cloud.google.com/google/maps-apis/support in order to open personalized communication channel.
>>>> BACKGROUND ON THE ISSUE <<<<
We were using Google Apps for Business when we started with the project. This allowed us to use the Google Developer Console (https://console.developers.google.com/) with our #company.co.za accounts and also to “login with Google” using our #company.co.za accounts. It turns out that the Google Developer Project (where the API keys are) was created using an ex-colleague's #company.co.za Google account.
When we moved from Google Apps for Business to Office 365, we lost the ability to login to the Google Developer Console with our #copany.co.za accounts. By then the colleague wasn’t working here anymore and I guess it all happened so quickly that we didn’t make sure to tie up all the loose ends.
Now we need to transfer development of the app and subsequently all related 3rd party projects and things, to the client for future development, but I cannot access the Google project.
This will require them to create a project on their side, generate new API keys for using the Google Maps API etc. And then update the apps (Android and iOS) with the new API keys.
>>>>> THIS IS MY QUESTION <<<<<
However, and this is where my question comes in, the apps are still working and happily accessing Google Maps. This makes me think that the project must still be somewhere.
I tried to access the Google Help pages, but because we're on a Bronze package, we can only find support information in their developer communities and online documentation listed here:
Join a Community
Service Disruption Notification
Best Practice Guides
But I thought to ask here too because SO is very reliable with answers :)
So, any idea if the project is still live somewhere? Or should we just create a new project with new API keys?
I don't think this is a stackoverflow question since it's not directly programming related. However, if you want to regain access to you project, this should be fairly simple and i hope this helps:
Create a new Google Apps for Business account with your domain (or maybe your old apps domain still exists?) and a single account. If you choose monthly payment the costs will be only a few bucks.
As the Google Apps domain administrator you should be able to access all appengine projects that belong to users of the same domain. If it doesn't you can contact Google support to reassign the projects. Alternatively: You may be able to recreate an account that owned the app. If you don't know the owner email, it is shown in the consent screent for oauth. With that email, try to access the project.
Create a Gmail account and transfer project ownership to this Gmail account
Delete the Google apps domain to avoid additional costs
All this is doable within an hour.
In case it doesn't work i would suggest you contact your Google sales representative or reseller and tell him, that you would like to purchase silver level support, but only if he can restore the permissions for you. This will cost you more, but if you have to access the project it may be the only way.
Last but not least:
You can contact Google support. You don't need silver level support for that. It will just take a lot longer to process your request. While in contact with the Google support you will have to prove that you are in fact the owner of the domain, which is usually done by adding a TXT record to your domain or uploading a file to your web server, so make sure you have access to your domain's DNS zone files / settings or web server document root.
I have just started playing with Google cloud. I used to work on normal servers so I need advice.
I created my first instance and deployed Wordpress. I installed woocommerce plugin. The shop is quite fast and I am happy (with the lowest settings) but now:
I wanted edit function.php but I can't. The attributes are read only so How can I change it?
How to get access to my all files I can't see them in storage cloud. How to set up ftp?
What about database for my shop? I understand I can create new data base but where to access to current data base of my wordpress.
What should I deploy more to work comfortable with my wordpress?
About ssl
SNI SSL certificate slots are offered for no additional charge for
accounts that have billing activated. Free accounts are limited to 5
certificates.
I have no experience with ssl but I plan run shop so what it means. Free certificates for 5 instances or 5 deployement ? How many certificates do I need to run one shop?
I know there are many questions but I wanted to go further and all advise on internet is outdated because are for older versions of google cloud. Please help me to understand this all.
I assume you're attempting to use WordPress on Google App Engine.
GAE has no real filesystem, so you cannot write to it (unless you juggle with the API GAE offers). Editing happens locally using the GAE SDK development server and you deploy your changes to the App Engine ecosystem using the SDK interface (GUI or CLI). All application writes should go to Google Cloud Storage (which is similar to Amazon S3 and the like).
I'm not certain whether the Google Cloud Storage can be accessed via traditional FTP. There might be some middleware required. You can see and browse the contents of your buckets in the developer project console (https://console.developers.google.com/).
The databases are on a separate "server" when using GAE. MySQL instances are spawned into the Google Cloud SQL ecosystem, which are available for App Engine and Compute Engine instances (and why not other places too). You can define the GCSQL address and port to wp-config.php like normally. You need to create a local MySQL database for your local installation. More: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/php/cloud-sql/
When working with Google App Engine you should deploy the whole WordPress installation (wp-config.php, wp-includes/, wp-admin/, wp-content/, etc.) in order for it to work in the GAE system. For a "better" deployment system you should do some searching or ask a new question dedicated for that issue.
The certificates themselves on GAE are not free, but the "slots" you put the certificates into are. Free projects (no billing enabled) offer 5 free slots where you can put your purchased certificates. SSL SNI means that you can use multiple different domain/host certificates under a single listening IP address (which some years back was not that simple to do). What this all means that GCP offers a way to use certificates with their services, but you still need to get the certificates themselves elsewhere.
Have you seen the GAE starter project offered by Google: https://googlecloudplatform.github.io/appengine-php-wordpress-starter-project/ ? It makes your live a bit easier when developing WP sites for Google App Engine.
If you're working with Google Compute Engine instances, then they should operate just like regular VPS machines, with some Google restrictions applied. I have not used them so I do not know the specifics.
Some of the problems that can happen are timeouts, disconnections, and not being able to resume a file and having to start from the beginning. Assuming these files are up to around 5gigs in size, what is the best solution for dealing with this problem?
I'm using a Drupal 6 install for the website.
Some of my constraints due to the server setup I have to deal with:
Shared hosting with max 200 connections at a time (unlimited disk space)
Shared hosting.
Unable to create users through an API (so can't automatically generate ftp accounts)
I do have the ability to run cron-type scripts via a Drupal module.
My initial thought was to create ftp users based off of Drupal accounts and requiring them to download an ftp client for their OS of choice. But the lack of API to auto-create ftp accounts and the inability to do it from command line kind of hinder that solution. If there's a workaround someone can think of, let me know!
Thanks
Usually, shared hostings does not support large files uploads through the browser. A solution may be to use another files hosting for your large uploads. A nice an easy solution to integrate is Amazon S3 and its browser based upload with a from POST.
It can be integrated in a custom module that provide an upload form protected using Drupal access control. If you require the files to be hosted on the Drupal server, you can use cron (either Drupal's or an external one) to move the files from S3 to your own hosting.
You're kind of limited in what you can do on a shared host. Your best option is probably to install SWFUpload and hope there aren't a lot of mid-upload errors.
Better options that you probably can't use on a shared host include the upload progress PHP extension (which Drupal automatically uses when it's installed) and, as you said, associating FTP accounts with Drupal accounts.
