How to fix 500 internal privoxy error

2015-05-25T11:48:00.000+05:30

I keep getting a 500 Internal Privoxy Error when I open a particular URL. I tried several websites that promise a fix but only want to sell me some bullshit software for $29.95 that doesn't do anything. The actual message is as follows

500 Internal Privoxy Error

Privoxy encountered an error while processing your request:

Could not load template file connect-failed or one of its included components.

Please contact your proxy administrator.

If you are the proxy administrator, please put the required file(s)in the (confdir)/templates directory. The location of the (confdir) directory is specified in the main Privoxy config file. (It's typically the Privoxy install directory).

After spending so much of time and putting lots of effort at internet, finally I fixed it. The solutions is -- Disable proxy settings and check.

Press “Windows Logo” + “R” keys on the keyboard, type “inetcpl.cpl” and press “Enter”.
Click the “Connections” tab, and then click “LAN settings”.
Uncheck the “Use a proxy server for your LAN” check box.
Click “Ok”.

Please let us know if the issue till persists.

Thanks.

Modern Business: The Secret to Success

2015-03-12T18:27:00.000+05:30

Running a successful modern business demands a number of different skills and you, as the business owner, must be ready to organize your time and be prepared to take any shift necessary because in these troubled economic times you are the most responsible figure for the success of your business. Teamwork skills are especially important, and managing the duties of every employee is something you should worry about, but the end line here is that you need to be able to quickly adapt.

In this economic climate, ups and downs are a natural part of every major business, and some things can move increasingly fast, while others can require a tremendous amount of time to be fully implemented, especially new technologies that are important for your area of work. However, what are the most important aspects you need to work on? Well, there is no magical solution, but we have created a list of things you need to keep your eye on.

The importance of market research

Doing proper market research is of crucial importance for the success of any business endeavor, and that will enable you to make the right decisions, and set a course for your business. IT is all about gathering large amounts of data on whether the customers are satisfied with your products and services, and whether anything can be changed in order to improve the general opinion of your product. This can also be a valuable way of collecting customer experiences, as it is a valuable source of information where you can gauge all those smaller, but necessary factors – what is right and what is not.

Setting up and maintaining a good website is easier said than done, but still, there are a number of ways this can be done in a reliable, yet cost-effective way. The website will be your online business card, where all your merchandise will be presented, and this can easily generate revenue for you, and create a base of loyal customers. When combined with all other social media networks, you can easily create an excellent online presence, where people will not only have high opinion of your services, but will think of you as a kind of expert, and will actively seek your opinion.

All the social networks have special options for those willing to pay a little bit in order to advertise their businesses. This can be extremely good for your business, as you can carefully select the categories based on which you will create the target audience. Not to mention how great social networks can be for checking customer feedback, and keeping them engaged by offering them promotions or special offers.

Outsourcing is your friend

his is a process of hiring another company to do finish a certain task, either because you are not able to do it yourself financially, or you are understaffed. Outsourcing is a commonly used strategy, even by companies that have large budgets, simply because it offers solutions which are both cost-effective and simple. Outsourcing can actually help your company stay focused on its goals, while internal manpower can be used for other purposes, and this is why outsourcing has great strategic value.

Team as the core of any business

People that work for you are actually those who are making everything happen, and the important thing is that all of you have the same goal – success. This can be achieved by proper motivation, because an unhappy worker will not be so interested in his or her performance. Those more active will become tired of time, especially if there are those who are more passive.

This can easily be fixed with the introduction of monthly rewards to those who do their best, and it can easily increase work efficiency, as everyone will try to reach the same level of acknowledgment. Make sure to balance between teamwork and competition, as both of those can be used to create a healthy environment, which will help your business.

Why your business should go Social

2014-07-17T16:39:00.003+05:30

Word of mouth marketing is as old as business itself. Consumers have always relied on conversations over the back fence and around the water cooler when making a decision about the products and services they need, social media is about that conversation, it may change the fence but the idea remains. Social media marketing gets your name in the minds of your friends and your friend's friends, easier and for less cost than traditional means.

Social Media marketing is about using the tools provided by social sites to build a repuation and create a buzz for you and your business, it is about establishing yourself as an expert so people will recommend you in conversations over backyard fences and in online interactions.

Same Old Word-of-Mouth Marketing

Social Media has changed the way people connect, discover, and share information. Here’s what you need to know:

Social media is the technology that connects people—whether it’s to share content or just to chat.
Social networks, like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and Pinterest are the places where social interactions happen (discovering & sharing).
Social media marketing is the way to use that technology to build relationships, drive repeat business. and attract new customers through friends sharing with friends.
Sound familiar? That’s because social media marketing is really just word-of-mouth powered by technology.

Still not convinced? Here are some quick pointers:

Consider this: 35% of the world’s population is online and the internet as a marketing channel reaches the largest number of people from varied demographics
The channel requires a low technical investment, has a great ROI and a low learning curve
It is a fairly simple way to increase your website traffic and search engine ranking
Lead generation and, thereby, sales can be improved
Connecting with media becomes easier
Promoting events becomes quicker and more effective
58% of small business owners reported a decrease in marketing costs after they migrated to social media

create filter in controller symfony2

2013-03-19T11:42:00.001+05:30

Sometimes you need to make changes to the Response object, after it is returned by your controller, but before it is rendered as output to the client (e.g. the browser). You may want to set some extra response headers, or "completely mess up the content" of the response. You can accomplish this by creating an event listener that listens to the kernel.response event. I give you a sample event listener which changes the Content-Type header in case the requested format is json and the browser’s accepted response format contains "text/html" in that case, at least in my experience, the browser doesn’t render the JSON string as plain text when the status code is 4xx or 5xx. So in these situations, the event listener changes the “Content-Type” to “text/plain”, to be sure you always get decent output in the browser.

Put the event listener in, for example /src/Acme/DemoBundle/EventListener/ResponseListener.php:

  
namespace Acme\DemoBundle\EventListener;
 
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Event\FilterResponseEvent;
 
class ResponseListener
{
    public function onKernelResponse(FilterResponseEvent $event)
    {
        $request = $event->getRequest();
 
        // only do something when the requested format is "json"
        if ($request->getRequestFormat() != 'json') {
            return;
        }
         
        // only do something when the client accepts "text/html" as response format
        if (false === strpos($request->headers->get('Accept'), 'text/html')) {
            return;
        }
         
        // set the "Content-Type" header of the response
        $event->getResponse()->headers->set('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
    }
}

Now define the ResponseListener as a service in /src/Acme/DemoBundle/Resources/services.xml:

  
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services/services-1.0.xsd">
    <services>
        <service id="acme.filter_response_listener" class="Acme\DemoBundle\EventListener\ResponseListener">
            <tag name="kernel.event_listener" event="kernel.response" method="onKernelResponse" />
        </service>        
    </services>
</container>

Notice the “tag” tag, by which the kernel recognizes this service as an event listener. The event attribute tells the kernel which event this listener listens to. The “method” attribute tells which method should be called when the kernel.response event occurs.

In case you don’t want any other events to tamper with the Response, add a call to $event->stopPropagation().

remove non ASCII characters from a String

2013-03-15T14:19:00.002+05:30

Hi guys

I had a problem with removing non-utf8 characters from string, which are not displaying properly. Characters are like this 0x97 0x61 0x6C 0x6F (hex representation).

I am getting some encoded value from url. Let assume it's encoded email and value is ankitchauhan22@gmail.com
When I tried to find out the length of this string as

  
$email = somefunction($encodedStringFromUrl);
$length = strlen($email);
print $length;

I was shocked. It's printing 37 instead of 24. Than I printed each index of this string on the string but after 24 character, nothing printed.

I used trim() to remove whitespace but didn't work.

Then I tried something which worked for me.

This is a little snippet that will remove any non-ASCII characters from a string.

  
$string = "ankitchauhan22@gmail.com äó";
$string = preg_replace('/[^(\x20-\x7F)]*/','', $string);

Now It's printing 24.

speed up symfony2 application with varnish

2013-03-11T11:45:00.000+05:30

Hi everyone,

Just a quick note about Varnish integration for symfony. I’m sure you have heard of Varnish reverse proxy server.

Varnish is a web accelerator written with performance and flexibility in mind. It’s modern architecture gives it a significantly better performance than many of it’s competing products. Varnish store web pages in memory so the web servers don’t have to create the same web page over and over again. The web server only recreate a page when it is changed. Additionally Varnish can serve web pages much faster then any application server is capable of – giving the website a significant speed up.

So in first order you may be interested to integrate Varnish to handle pages which don’t require authentication (for myself I’m still not sure if there is any advantage for integrating pages for logged in users):

  
sub vcl_recv {
    set req.http.Surrogate-Capability = "abc=ESI/1.0";
}
sub vcl_fetch {
    if (beresp.http.Surrogate-Control ~ "ESI/1.0") {
        unset beresp.http.Surrogate-Control;
        set beresp.do_esi = true;
    }
}

Symfony2's cache uses the standard HTTP cache headers, the Symfony2 Reverse Proxy can easily be replaced with any other reverse proxy. Varnish is a powerful, open-source, HTTP accelerator capable of serving cached content quickly and including support for Edge Side Includes.

Creating a PrestaShop module

2013-03-08T15:00:00.000+05:30

A PrestaShop module consists of:

A root folder, named after the module, which will hold all of the module's files, and will reside in PrestaShop's /modules folder.
A main PHP file, named after the module, located in that root folder. This PHP file should have the same name as its root folder.
An icon file, named logo.gif, representing this module.
Optional: some .tpl files, containing the module's theme.
Optional: language files, if the module or its theme have text to display (and therefore, that should be translatable).
Optional: in a /themes/modules folder, a folder with the same name as the module, containing .tpl and language files if necessary. This last folder is essential during modifications of existing module, so that you can adapt it without having to touch its original files. Notably, it enables you to handle the module's display in various ways, according to the current theme.

Now I am going to create a module named Testmodule.

Your module can be called anything you like. My module will be called Testmoduleas that is what is will be doing - taking off line payments. So create a directory under your PrestaShop.

C:\wamp\www\prestashop\modules\Testmodule see below for an example:-

Create your module's "class" .php file

PrestaShop modules must have one php file which contains the Class definition. This class definition contains the core functions of your module. The file needs to be given the same name as your module so in my case it must called testmodule.php and it needs to live in the root of the modules directory.

Every PrestaShop module has to consist of three necessary functions:

__construct() – here you provide all the information about your module – module name, version and description which are visible in the backend. In addition, you can choose in which tab to show your module, for example, Products.
install() – this function also does not have parameters, but is very important. Here you have to register all the hooks you will be using, create necessary database table changes (create, add columns, prepare it and so on) and initiate default module options.
uninstall() – the same as above, except here you have to delete all your tables if necessary. Do not forget to delete configuration options too.

  
class TestModule extends SomeModule  {

 //this declares the class and specifies it will extend the some module

    private $_html = '';
    private $_postErrors = array();
 
    function __construct()
    {
        $this->name = 'testmodule';
        $this->tab = others;
        $this->version = 1;
        $this->author = 'Ankit Chauhan';

        parent::__construct(); // The parent construct is required for translations
 
        $this->page = basename(__FILE__, '.php');
        $this->displayName = $this->l('Test Module');
        $this->description = $this->l('Testing module check');
 
    }
    function install()
    {
      // your code here
    }
    function unstall()
    {
      // your code here
    }
}

Now you can upload everything to your server and install module from the backend.
