Centos Virtual hosting | Centos enabling multi apache hosting through 1 IP

2011-02-11T00:40:00.000-08:00

OK, so now you decided to have one VPS, one IP, and many sites?
Cool, its very easy
First in the root folder, create your website folders, like you have 2 websites, so name them as site1.com and site2.com
So now you'll be having two website folders site1.com and site2.com in your root directory.

Now navigate to /etc/httpd/conf/ and start editing httpd.conf file,
At the end of the page, you will find a line, just like below

#NameVirtualHost *:80

Just uncomment that by removing # from it, So that it becomes like the below one:-

NameVirtualHost *:80

Then below their will be more lines which will be commented so uncomment them also, and make them look something like this

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
   DocumentRoot /var/www/html/site1.com
   ServerName site1.com
   ErrorLog logs/site1-error_log
   CustomLog logs/site1-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
   DocumentRoot /var/www/html/site2.com
   ServerName site2.com
   ErrorLog logs/site2-error_log
   CustomLog logs/site2-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

Thats it, after this just restart your apacheby the following command

service httpd restart

Done,
You have successfully enabled multi-site or virtual hosting on apache Centos.

This is a very simple question, but for beginners it is little bit difficult,
Now assuming that everything is installed, open the httpd conf file and start editing it,

You can find this file in

Configuring VPS | Moving wordpress from old hosting to new VPS | Part 2

2011-01-29T22:24:00.001-08:00

Part 2:
As now, you have configured VPS, Now its time to move your old wordpress site to our new VPS(Which is already configured with LAMP). If you have not configured till yet, then it is my suggestion that you go back to my first tutorial
Configure VPS | Install LAMP on Centos VPS Part 1

So now lets begin the tutorial
As now, you know the basics on how to handle putty software and the ssh commands,
So lets start

First we will create the backup of the folder in your old server/hosting,
This is can be much easier through Cpanel, but if you don't have, then you have to enable the ssh by asking your hosting people.
Then connect to your old servers ssh and follow these steps
Code:

cd public_html/your_directory_of _your_website_folder
tar -cvf foldername.tar

Remember your_directory_of _your_website_folder should be your wordpress folder and foldername.tar foldername will be the wordpress folder name, and your backup will be created in the name of that folder.

Now exit and connect to your new VPS, and follow these commands
Code:

cd /var/www/html
wget http://nirajmchauhan.blogspot/wordpress.tar
tar -xvf wordpress.tar

In the first line we are giving the command to change the directory.
Second line, is used to download the compressed backup file from your old server.
REMEMBER:The URL and the back-up-file-name should be perfect, don't directly copy-paste mine
Third line is used to extract the backup

Till now we were successful to bring the wordpress to our new VPS, now we will bring the database of the wordpress.

The very first thing is to create the back-up of the wordpress mysql database, by logging into your old servers phpmyadmin, selecting the appropriate database and exporting that.
For this I ll suggest you to follow this link,
Backing up database

Now if you are ready with the mysql database backup, its time to bring it on our new VPS.

Code:

cd /var/www/html
wget http:nirajmchauhan.blogspot.com/mysql.tar
tar -xvf mysql.tar

after extraction of database backup we will integrate it with phpmyadmin.
Before doing this, you have log in to new VPS php-my-admin window and create a new database, lets consider it as niraj

Sample of the code:

mysql -u user -p dbname < {path}/backup.sql

Actual Code:

mysql -u root -p niraj < /var/www/html/backup/niraj.sql

Just assuming my username to be root, my roots password to be password, niraj to be my new database in php-my-admin, which we created, and niraj.sql is the database sql file which we extracted before few steps.

Done,
You have successfully installed your old site to new VPS,
just after this you need to configure your wordpress wp-config file and add user to your php-my-admin for your database.

Wordpress-Publish new post redirecting to homepage | While saving edited code redirecting to home-page

2011-01-28T22:54:00.000-08:00

This is a hectic bug for us, whenever a user tries to publish the post or save any code changes, it redirects to the homepage without publishing and saving the code,

This problem I also faced, many people recommends of redirection plugin fixes, but in many cases people are not using that, and then also they facing this kinds of problems.

The only solution to this writing a simple code in .htaccess file

<IfModule mod_security.c>

SecFilterEngine Off

SecFilterScanPOST Off

</IfModule>

Just copy paste the above code and then done, you are free without any errors to publish post and save the codes without any home-page redirection.

This usually happens when on server, some changes are made on `mod_security` rule.

So next time if you face this problem, no worries, just follow this post

Configure VPS | Install LAMP on Centos VPS Part 1

2011-01-27T05:14:00.000-08:00

Few days before when I had a VPS and needed to install wordpress, I found it very difficult because very few resources were available on google

So I am here now with my new post, On HOW TO INSTALL LAMP ON CENTOS

First buy an unmanaged VPS, and get ssh access

Then install Putty software in your computer, and start it

Then Follow the further steps

Start Putty software and then enter your IP for eg. 255.255.255.254

it will ask for username

generally its root and then enter the password

after that start typing the following code

IMPORTANT: IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH SSH COMMAND THEN BE CAREFUL. JUST COPY PASTE THE CODES.

First we will install yum

code:

yum install -y yum-priorities

After this we need to download updated repositories for php and mysql packages

code:

wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm

wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-5.rpm

Then we will extract that by following command

code:

rpm -Uvh epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm

rpm -Uvh remi-release-5.rpm

After This we give priorities to repo and exclude php mysql and phpmyadmin from repository

code:

vi /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo

After this a file will be opened, press I from the keyboard to edit it, and after editing press esc button and type :x to save it

code:

priority=1
exclude=*php* *mysql* *phpmyadmin*

Copy paste this above code five times before the following lines

#released updates
#packages used/produced in the build but not released
#additional packages that may be useful
#additional packages that extend functionality of existing packages
Copy paste the next lines before this line #contrib - packages by Centos Users

Code:

priority=2
exclude=*php* *mysql* *phpmyadmin*

Just one line above priority=2 their will be a line enabled=0 just make that to 1

After this press esc and type :x to save the file

Now same thing for epel and remi repository

code:

vi /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo

Just Above this line [epel-debuginfo] insert this code(inserting and saving is been explained on top)

Code:

priority=3

Now after saving that, we will now edit the same code with just different filename

Code:

vi /etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo

And now in this, just above [remi-test] line, change the value of enable=0 to 1

and paste this code exactly above the [remi-test] line

Code:

priority=3

Save it and now we will install apache web server,

Code:

yum install -y httpd

After this we will install php,

Code:

yum install php

During the installation it will prompt you for importing GPG key for the new repositories, just type y and press enter, this will be come for two times

Now we will start the Apache server

Code:

/etc/init.d/httpd start

Just to test our Apache and php, we will create a phpinfo file

Code:

vi /var/www/html/info.php

A new file will be created, insert this code into it, and then save it

Code:

<?
phpinfo();
?>

Now in your browser, enter this URL, http://your IP or localhost/info.php

Now a PHP INFO file should open, where it will display php and servers information

if not then restart the apache server,

To restart the server,

Code:

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

Now we will install MySql

Code:

yum install -y mysql-server mysql php-mysql

Now the next code is used to configure Apache , to start MySql when server is rebooted.

Code:

chkconfig httpd on
chkconfig mysqld on

Fire up MySql Server

Code:

/etc/init.d/mysqld start

Now we will set the root password of mysql

Code:

mysql -u root password password

Here the second password is the actual root password, you can change it with your's own.

Now its time to do last job, thats installing phpmyadmin

Code:

yum install -y phpmyadmin

Now we have to edit phpMyAdmin config file to avoid the Forbidden Access Error

Code:

vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf

Search for a line,

deny from all

Comment the above line just by inserting # before the line, so after that, it should look like the following,

# deny from all

Save it and restart the Apache server

Code:

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

Done

Now goto the browser and type this URL

http://IP or localhost/phpmyadmin

Now the page will appear, just enter username as root and password as password

Check my next post, Part-2, on how to transfer a wordpress site from existing hosting to your newly configured VPS

their should be no space or blank line before <? and after ?>
DEACTIVATE PLUGINS AND THEMES, just through your file manager rename the folder of your plugin and themes to any other name in my case i used Plugins_temp and Themes_temp
this deactivated all the plugins, and it made my theme to default Twenty-ten theme

Thats it you are done, these answer's will solve your problem,

Wordpress-Add custom taxonomies tags to permalinks

2010-12-31T22:33:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone, today i am going to discuss with you how to add wordpress custom taxonomies to permalinks.
You can refer custom taxonomies or taxonomies from here

Ok first of all, you need to register custom taxonomy with setting "rewrite=true", doing this will enable %custom_taxonomy_tag%
If you want to add custom taxonomies without coding, i prefer this plugin GD CPT tools

After doing all these things, you need to copy paste this function, to your theme's function.php file

add_filter('post_link', 'taxo_permalink', 10, 3);
add_filter('post_type_link', 'taxo_permalink', 10, 3);

function taxo_permalink($permalink, $post_id, $leavename) {
if (strpos($permalink, '%taxo%') === FALSE) return $permalink;

//To Get post
$post = get_post($post_id);
if (!$post) return $permalink;

//To Get taxonomy terms
$terms = wp_get_object_terms($post->ID, 'taxo');
if (!is_wp_error($terms) && !empty($terms) && is_object($terms[0])) $taxonomy_slug = $terms[0]->slug;
else $taxonomy_slug = 'no-taxo';

return str_replace('%taxo%', $taxonomy_slug, $permalink);
}

Explanation
Line 5 – If the permalink does not contain the %taxo% tag, then we don’t need to translate anything.
Line 12 – Get the taxo terms related to the current post object.
Line 13 – Retrieve the slug value of the first taxo custom taxonomy object linked to the current post.
Line 14 – If no taxo terms are retrieved, then replace our taxo tag with the value no-taxo.
Line 16 – Replace the %taxo% tag with our custom taxonomy slug.

Now in wordpress, dashboard-settings-permalinks, you can write
%postname%/%taxo%
This way you can add more custom taxonomies, just by adding more functions.
So Simple!!!!!!!

ASP or PHP?????

2010-10-22T08:18:00.001-07:00

Are you confused what to select ASP OR PHP??? to start a website???????
Then Ask me!!!
First of all the question is,
amongst these languages, in which languages you are perfect
Second thing comes is, this is your personal website or making for some one???
If it is your own website then go with any language,
but if it is customers website where he/she has great demands, then i prefer php with wordpress, cause you'll get n number of plugins and guidance from worldwide php users including me

And one more thing which is very important, there are very few asp supported web hosting plans available with good up-time and other features,

So if you know php then always go with it,
Always get web hosting for php from Host Gator they are the best, and the most important thing is they have 24/7 live chat where you chat with technicians anytime

If you want 20% discount on web hosting click here HostGator

So in the war of asp and php,
php wins

How to create a simple website

2010-10-19T22:16:00.000-07:00

If you are really interested in creating a website, then first select in what language you want to php or asp.net
These two languages are most important, basic and famous around the world
If you go with php then start your website by using WORDPRESS
and if you decide to go with asp.net then go with BLOGENGINE
For wordpress you'll need to instal WAMP server in your local host machine and for blogengine IIS
That's it after installation you are set to start, just in web browser (i prefer Mozilla) type "localhost/websitename"
You are done your website will appear,
then you just need to customize by going into DASHBOARD
then just install some cool plugins and themes
You are done, without much time wasting in coding you can create websites and sell it to customers
for that you'll also require webhosting
the best which i use is hostgator go and grab your plan today cause they are the cheapest and the best

Go and give a try with BLOGENGINE or with WORDPRESS

What is Wordpress??

2010-10-19T22:05:00.000-07:00

WordPress is web software you can use to create a beautiful website or blog. I like to say that WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time.

The core software is built by hundreds of community volunteers, and when you’re ready for more there are thousands of plugins and themes available to transform your site into almost anything you can imagine. Over 25 million people have chosen WordPress to power the place on the web they call “home” — we’d love you to join the family.

So go and Download and try it yourself
