I am currently working on a laravel project on my MAC using homestead environment. Am i able to replicate a homestead environment on Ubuntu 14.04.5?
If you want to replicate the homestead environment you need to install this softwares as listed in the docs:
Git
PHP 7.1
Nginx
MySQL
MariaDB
Sqlite3
Postgres
Composer
Node (With Yarn, Bower, Grunt, and Gulp)
Redis
Memcached
Beanstalkd
Mailhog
ngrok
Probably you do not need all of them so remove what you do not use.
To install each software you can try so search in the apt repository and search for a guide con configure each of them.
For a LEMP stack you can try this: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-nginx-mysql-php-lemp-stack-in-ubuntu-16-04
Homestead uses a script called settler that it uses to provision the environment you use in Homestead, the script can be found here:
https://github.com/laravel/settler/blob/master/scripts/provision.sh

I have an Elastic Beanstalk web application using Amazon Linux AMI that requires the latest build of nginx. The nginx build that comes with AMI version 2018.03 is version 1.12.1, whereas the latest stable build on nginx.org is 1.15.4. Only 1.12.1 is available from Amazon's yum repositories. The preferred strategy we would like to use would be to create a custom RPM and pull that from an endpoint and install. How would I go about creating a custom RPM of nginx that would run on Amazon Linux? Or is there a pre-built source that I could take advantage of?
It turns out the best way to do this is to create a custom AMI. You can find instructions on how to create a custom AMI here:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/using-features.customenv.html
And how to install from source here:
How to install nginx 1.9.15 on amazon linux disto
If you want to swap out a running instance try here:

I personally got it working with a mix of the code from those two sources. I also had to yum install gcc to get make to work, and had to manually add the folder /var/cache/nginx before the nginx service would work. Happy upgrading!
Quickstart for Endpoints on Compute Engine says
you need to run the Extensible Service Proxy before sending requests
to the API
But it also says
This quickstart works only on Debian. Make sure you create a VM that
runs Debian.
I have an existing GCE VM instance running Red Hat EL 7 that I'm adding this Endpoint to. Where are instructions for installing and running Extensible Service Proxy on it?
FWIW I examined the contents of the Debian package. It appears to be just nginx with custom configs and some extra scripts. If there's no RPM or other way of installing ESP on RHEL7, can I just manually install the contents extracted from the .deb package?
Yes, it should work (not tested). nginx in the .deb package is a statically compiled binary with a custom module that runs fine standalone. Please make sure to place the remaining files (config templates, root CA certificates, start-up script) in the same directories as in the .deb package.
The instructions for installing the ESP are implied in the instructions for installing the Cloud SDK on Red Hat and CentOS, since the endpoints-runtime RPM is available from the same repo as is the SDK.
$ sudo tee -a /etc/yum.repos.d/google-cloud-sdk.repo << EOM
[google-cloud-sdk]
name=Google Cloud SDK
baseurl=https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/repos/cloud-sdk-el7-x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/doc/yum-key.gpg
https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/doc/rpm-package-key.gpg
EOM
$
$ sudo yum install google-cloud-sdk
Note that the ESP installs as nginx, with supporting scripts and config files, that will replace any existing nginx and any files with the same name, which will overwrite any existing nginx functionality (like proxy, cache etc). It might be best to archive any host-specific nginx configs first, then install ESP, then merge old configs into the new ones installed by yum.
I would like to migrate a self-hosted wordpress site to Microsoft Azure. I've already done this migration job with Duplicator plugin from a server to another and everything worked well.
The problem with Ms Azure is that it uses a service called ClearDB to manage databases. (feel free to correct me if it's wrong) When you create a free account with this service you will get a restricted plan called Mercury which allows you to query your db (max dimension of 20MB) up to 3600 queries/hour.
But the migration process requires several operations on the database and the
As written in this blog the only option is to upgrade your plan to the 10$/month subscription.
I've found another way but the plugin the author uses in this link does not work for me.
Should I use another plugin to backup my WP content?
Do you have any advice?
Thanks
There are three solutions. I chose the first one.
Configure Mysql on a virtual machine and install Wordpress (classic way)
This can be done installing an already configured image with the Lamp packages on your Virtual Machine. Please see this link
If you want to set up it manually, follow these steps:
Create the vm (I used Ubuntu 14.04) then connect via SSH to your server.
ssh root#server_ip_address
Install Apache
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2
To check if Apache is installed, direct your browser to your server’s IP address. The page should display the words “It works!"
Install MySQL
sudo apt-get install mysql-server libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql
During the installation, MySQL will ask you to set a root password. Once you have installed MySQL activate it with this command:
sudo mysql_install_db
Finish up by running the MySQL set up script:
sudo /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation
The prompt will ask you for your current root password.
Install PHP
sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mcrypt
PHP also has a variety of useful libraries and modules that you can add onto your virtual machine. You can see the libraries that are available.
apt-cache search php5-
Decide which module you wish to install and type:
sudo apt-get install name_of_the_module
Although LAMP is installed, we can still take a look and see the components online by creating a quick php info page. Create a new file:
sudo nano /var/www/info.php
Add in the following line. Save and exit
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Finally restart apache
sudo service apache2 restart
and check the info page typing in your url
server_ip_address/info.php
Install mysql in a VM and create an Azure Website with a Wordpress image. Then link the mysql db on the virtual machine to the Wordpress site.
Upgrade ClearDB plan to the 10$/month subscription and specify the url of your remote db in wp-config.php
I use Windows 8 and installed Virtualbox so i can access to a Linux (Ubuntu) System.
The most i still did to do this - so at this moment i have a working Virtualbox with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
In my case i need this Virtualbox with Linux for meteor.
The problem:
meteor uses nodejs and so i need to have symlinks access (i think its symlinks - i read a few about it)
Reference: How to run meteor app inside an Ubuntu VrtualBox and edit using an editor on a Windows host?
He describes the same problem i have now:
Error: EROFS, read-only file system '/media/sf_Shared/Dropbox/dev_uhurajr/chat/.meteor/local/.build320446.build/programs/server/npm/logging/main/node_modules'
So i tried to enabled Symlinks on my host (windows) this way:
VBoxManage setextradata YOURVMNAME VBoxInternal2/SharedFoldersEnableSymlinksCreate/YOURSHAREFOLDERNAME 1
Reference: http://www.ahtik.com/blog/fixing-your-virtualbox-shared-folder-symlink-error/
This works fine! When i check the extradata for my VM the field SharedFoldersEnableSymlinksCreate is on 1
I set this value for 2 folders. The shared folder on Windows and also the name of the shared folder on my Linux VM.
But .. the same problem. The following error occurs everytime meteor tries to write symlinks:
Error: UNKNOWN, unknown error '/media/Projekte/test/.meteor/local/.build320446.build/programs/server/npm/logging/main/node_modules'
So whats the right way to get this working ?
Guessing you were using Virtualbox version after 4.0, please:
Enable symlinks VBoxManage.exe setextradata YOUR_VM VBoxInternal2/SharedFoldersEnableSymlinksCreate/YOUR_SHARED_FOLDER 1
Run VirtualBox 'as admininstrator' on Windows.
Replace the YOUR_VM and YOUR_SHARED_FOLDER with your own value. You can check the value via VBoxManage.exe getextradata YOUR_VM enumerate
VirtualBox enabled symbolic for shared folder since 4.0, it's Windows permissions blocking you. You can either enable the permission for user or simply run VirtualBox as an administrator.
Please to refer the Virtualbox documentation:
Doc updated, please refer to the doc Shared Folders:
Starting with version 4.0, VirtualBox shared folders also support symbolic links (symlinks), under the following conditions:
The host operating system must support symlinks (i.e. a Mac, Linux or Solaris host is required).
Currently only Linux and Solaris Guest Additions support symlinks.
I made a development vm with setup and run scripts.
https://github.com/gfk-ba/meteor-dev-vm
Just put your meteor app in the app directory and follow the instructions in the readme.md
I've got a brand new install of WordPress setup and activated a custom-built theme along with a good amount of plugins. In the posts, I have built it so the user can create a post, upload an image as a thumbnail and it will automatically resize the image to a custom size set in my functions.php file.
All this has been working on my local end (MAMP) correctly but when I tried making everything work on our Amazon EC2 server, the images do not resize to the size set. They resize by actual code but do not resize the actual image and save it in the new size.
Apologies if the question/subject is completely non-sense but I have little to no experience with Amazon EC2 servers and I have been placed into a situation where the person in charge of all the work within EC2 had to leave the project.
I'm assuming that this has to do with the GD library not being installed.. I created a test page with phpinfo() and didn't see a GD area on the results page.
How would I go about installing the library on my Amazon EC2 server? I just learned how to connect to the server via Terminal and that's all I've got for now.. so you get an idea of how much I know about the subject.
I'm guessing you have some type of Linux installed, probably Ubuntu or CentOS.
Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install php5-gd
CentOS: sudo yum install php-gd
You probably have to restart Apache afterwards: service httpd restart or service apache2 restart -- the names differ from distribution to distribution.
Let me know if this works!
In my case, I was getting error like there is version conflict between different versions of php-common when I entered "yum install php-gd" so I checked my php version using "php -v" in shell and then installed the corresponding gd using "yum install php56-gd" because I had php 5.6 installed in my machine.
Hope someone will get help from this.
Cheers
to avoid compatibility problems first do:
php --version
to know your php version
the answer is something in the form PHP X.Y.Z
so you have to take X, Y and do:
sudo yum install phpXY-gd
for instance if php --version says PHP 5.5.26
you will do:
sudo yum install php55-gd
In my case of ec2 server running Amazon Linux 2 with php version 7.2.24, following was the sequence:
sudo yum install php-gd
But event after repeat server restart with
sudo systemctl restart httpd
it was not working unless I rebooted with
sudo reboot
In Amazon Linux, we have to add the following line to the etc/php.ini file
extension=gd.so
Step 1: Install the package using following command
sudo yum install php-gd
Step 2: Include the following line to the etc/php.ini file
extension=gd.so
If the line is commented, then uncomment it.
Step 3: Restart the httpd service
sudo service httpd restart
