I'm using CentOS 6.5 where I successfully install Oracle XE. I want to change my Initial Hostname 'NAFD.WS' to something else. Will this affect Oracle Xe installation? If yes, what's the work around aside from reinstalling the Oracle Xe.
Thanks for your time dear SO.
Looks like your question is addressed here: http://minhtech.com/oracle/oracle-11g-xe-hostname-change/
Basically:
Edit both the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora files at $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora and $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora. In the files, replace instances of the old hostname with the new hostname. Finally, log into root and force a reload:
$ su -
$ /etc/init.d/oracle-xe force-reload
In terms of database functionality, it shouldn't matter. I haven't installed XE in a long time, so, I'm not sure if there's an Oracle inventory, like there is w/ SE and EE. If so, that would be broken, as the hostname is written into the inventory, and there's no supported way to update that. That would imply you can't apply any patches, but, with XE, there aren't any made available anyhow.
If you were running RAC, you'd need to wipe and re-configure CRS, update local and remote listener configs, etc.
But, for XE, I think you'll be fine.
As always, if you care about the data in the database, be sure to take a backup before you proceed.

I have a strange behaviour and I need some ideas.
I have a Redhat7 server with standard apache and php7 installation.
The application running on this server uses PHPExcel to export data from a database to an excel file.
Because the appliction is very old and not from me, I dont want to change from PHPExcel to PHPWorksheet if there is any other option.
The server is also not installed by me, but I have sudo access.
What happens:
It looks like every night the server does some changes to the httpd service because every morning when I try to use the application I got an error that PHPExcel cannot create folder /tmp/xxxxxx. All I have to do is restart the httpd service as sudo and the applcation works fine until the next day.
I know this is not much information so if you need something more please ask.
I also know its hard to help here but perhaps someone has a similar problem in the past?
Thanks

After all I have solution which is not my favorite but it works.
I have changed the
sys_temp_dir
upload_temp_dir
in the php.ini to a different self created folder. It looks like the /tmp folder (which is default) is changed every night from any other application running on the server in that way, that PHP has no longer write access to it.
I am not very sattisfied not knowing exactly whats going wrong with the /tmp folder but because I am not the admin of the server I think I must be ok with it.
I'm new into Git and I'm working with Wordpress themes.
I was always using FTP client to push every small change into my remote server... I mean sometimes it was just one line of code to check the change of CSS. It was easy and nice but there will be always problem with reverting changes and since I'm learning Git, I want to change it.
I've found two ways to do it:
git-ftp
i've tried to connect my local respository with GitHub and my intention was to automatic pull changes into my remote server from GitHub (it's not working yet, i need to configure it better)
BUT, do I have to commit every single small change? Because I cant just save file and check changes with Browsersync on second monitor, I will have to commit so many times. Also which way will be better for me - maybe there are another, better ways?
I really want to improve my performance, but it looks like that's not easy or I'm doing something wrong? I know about existence things like WP-CLI, webpack, gulp but often I'm creating small websites and probably I will spend more time on configurating those things than create theme. Also I thought about working on localhost, but I really think that I'm complicating things and my job.
Really sorry if it's wrong section, but I'm new on stackoverflow - hey! I will be really thankful if you can help me, because I think that i need knowledge of someone experienced.
I'm not sur to be helpful but I'll try :
First, even for a small project, I always prefer to install a local environment for testing. It avoid risks on your remote server !
You can take a look here : https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/tutorials/installing-a-local-server/
Then, if you have an SSH access to your server, may be you can try to configure it to push directly from your local environment to your remote server. Here is a simple tutorial : https://gist.github.com/noelboss/3fe13927025b89757f8fb12e9066f2fa
It depends on what remote system or vps you are using.
It could be from GCP, AWS, DIGITAL OCEAN, or WP itself.
It looks like that you are using the wordpress hosting your website.
If so, you might use wp cli to login the server.
①As for the frequent testing and updating, it is a good idea to copy the remote project to your localhost. Run your web app using wampserver. And create a new repository in the github and connect it with your local folder.
Then you could use git to version control your codes, do pull and push, stash or whatever.
And after testing, you could upload the specific files or folder to the remote server via ftp or sftp periodically.
②Another way is to install the git bash or git software in your server side.
It depends on the OS you are using. If it is a win or linux.
$ add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa
$ apt update; apt install git
and create new user, add it into the sudo group
create a repository in your server side and link it to the github remote repository.
I am not sure whether the second way would work.
I recommend you try the first method.
Hope this could help. Happy coding.
I'm looking at switching from MySQL Workbench to Navicat because we're using MariaDB and the incompatibilities are starting to annoy me.
I'm working through the issues of getting Navicat to run on Centos under WINE but assume I will succeed (edit: this failed. The "linux" version requires WINE. Navicat will sort of run with a bit of hacking, but critical features rely on MS-Windows/WINE)
How do I get Navicat to work with git (or any other source code control)? Workbench is sufficiently primitive that file changes either get picked up automatically or completely ignored (almost always a dialog "file on disk has changed, reload?")
Specific problems:
when adding new query files Navicat only seems to rescan the folder when I add a new query. Is there a smart way to do that? (edit: no. You can manually refresh one file at a time by right clicking)
model and query files are buried deep in the WINE tree. Can I relocate them or or symlinks work? I'd rather keep all the DB-related code in one repo, rather than having a special Navicat repo. (edit: yes, but the explanation of how to do so is lengthy)
is there a way to merge a model file if more than one person has changed it? Workbench can't do this but I'd really like the feature. (edit: no, never. Merge the schema SQL files instead)
Also, bonus question: can we make multiple edits using Navicat other than repeated use of the GUI? If I want to change (say) a bunch of columns from VARCHAR(255) to CHAR(20) I'd normally script that in SQL but Navicat models don't do reverse engineering, only "delete the table from the model then re-import it" so there doesn't seem to be a non-tedious way to do that. (edit: no, but they might look at it in the future)
Final edit: I used the Navicat forums and the team were very helpful, but fundamentally Navicat is Windows software and the 64-bit purists behind Centos will never support WINE. For most Linux users this is not a problem, but I work with Centos enthusiasts and have long since lost the argument about which distro to use.
To the 1st question, you can sync it in different ways with a remote database/folder, when you are managing the database with Navicat, just right-click in your current connection and press "refresh", so you will be updated with the server changes. You also can do it with a programmed task.
Another matter is, why would you want to run navicat from wine when it has a native linux version? (I hope that answers the 2nd question)
For the 3rd question note that Navicat has an internal utility to sync data between servers, so you don't need git at all, or at most, you can automate the structure exportation and then sync it with a git repository (in form of a .sql file)
IMHO you need to review your concepts about mariadb and navicat, both are quite flexible and offer several ways to do such things you propose, like sync the data and they also allow to insert git in the workflow, just review your strategy and try to apply some new perspective with the available features.
I have a WordPress website up and running with many plugins installed on it and a huge database, I need to use chef-solo in order to create an environment in which can install the same website with all its plugins and and also importing its database.
I need it to be like, using chef to install the same website on a different server, exactly the same
Now here are my questions:
I know we can use chef to install WordPress but can we set it in a
way that we don't need to configure the the WordPress and everything
is already set once its running?
What to do with the plugins? can we install them using the chef or
now that should be done manually?
How about importing the database, that can be done with chef-solo
as well?
The whole website is on git, can I somehow import the whole
thing?
is there any other issue I may possibly face? if I want do that?
There is a wordpress cookbook openly available for chef.
When you mean configure, I take it you mean setup data in the database. Assuming that you've separated the database instance from the server instance, and you're attempting to scale up the number of servers then you should be able to skip data setup. You should be configuring the new server instance (node) to point to the same database via Chef.
I stumbled into this question looking for the answer to this question. From what I can tell the start may be here.
Kind of hand-wavy, but this should enable you to do some wordpress stuff via the command line with Chef, rather than the point and click it prefers.
As per #1, you should not need to import the database. If the database goes down, you'll want to focus on that as a separate but connected recipe, since then you'll want to be taking snapshots and uploading them somewhere like S3 via a cron job. I believe there are plugins that can enable this.
You'll have to be a little more clear by "import". If it's in a code base you may be able to short-cut your cookbook path by pulling down the git repo onto the host. You may want to look at git-archive.
Other issues that I'm looking at are images. We're migrating from a hosted solution to AWS, and it appears that instead of storing the images in the database, word-press pulls them into a local directory. This means that if we scale to > 1 host, we'll have issues with images. Something to think about, there's a wealth of plugins that can probably solve this.
Hope this is helpful,

So I wrote this script that basically creates a sql dump of the the drupal databases as well as created a tar of of the www directory. I took this off the server and put it on my local machine. I want to take these backup files and test to see if the backup is stable as well as to learn the process.
My problem is that I can't find any clear instructions on how I would be able to do this. Can anyone give me a hand?
Any help is much appreciated.
You need to have a LAMP stack installed on your local machine. In addition, you'll need to modify the settings.php file to change the database connection strings to match your local enviornment. Youi may also need to modify the $base_url variable in the settings.php.
THis would not be necessary if you were simply restoring, but since you're moving the install it is required.
