  1. I've tinkered and dabbled with lots of "cool tools" and only end up using what makes sense TO ME. I tried git years years ago and I just didn't "GET IT", so because it didn't make sense to me, I didn't pursue it. Then I looked into it again some time later and probably because my work changed, I'm not sure What or Why, but this time around, it made total sense! I absolutely would have saved so much time, had I stuck with it the first time. It would have saved me countless hours of losing work and messing up configs and changes, etc. Now I can not see myself EVER working without git! Another one of the "cool tools" is sass/scss. I'm good enough with my css and organizing it very well, I don't NEED the complexities of learning another tool! But it too, has changed my workflow and I am indeed faster WITH IT than I am without it. My scss files are logically sorted and it's much easier for me to find some value than ever before with a 400 line css file. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - In the end, remember, you make the Tool Cool. Just because Framework QWERTY is used by all the cool kids, means nothing. My uncle can build a dog house with a simple hammer and screwdriver. Does it matter how fast he builds that dog house? No, what matters is that the resulting final product be strong, stable, long lasting, durable, etc. YOU make the tool cool
  2. I read elsewhere that Ajenti leaves some password data exposed in plaintext. They solution to increase security was to chmod the files.
  3. So since I soon plan on running multiple subdomains with Option 1 (detailed here https://processwire.com/api/modules/multi-site-support/ ) I probably should use ServerPilot, huh?
  4. NOW THAT, would be a fun idea! With a script that gathers all the bots IP addresses that access it. Also make a simple WP login form, and every attempted login gets saved
  5. @pwired LOL, so true amigo. I'm really loving the experience so far, I mean, having a VPS instead of a Shared Hosting account. Really opened my eyes to EVERYTHING. I made sure to have enabled a firewall. I had blocked port 22 and changed it to something else, since I always SSH in. But I could not find a way to rsync my site up with the newly changed port number, so, back to 22 it is.
  6. I have my new site hosted on DigitalOcean. This is what I found today in my access logs. [Sat Oct 10 20:14:43.237273 2015] [:error] [pid 7239] [client 72.191.161.105:59138] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in /home/jaimito/www/mywebsite.com/public/index.php on line 3 [Mon Oct 12 16:39:52.256530 2015] [:error] [pid 3369] [client 189.46.103.92:51633] script '/home/jaimito/www/mywebsite.com/public/wp-login.php' not found or unable to stat [Mon Oct 12 17:47:29.584326 2015] [:error] [pid 3583] [client 91.210.144.233:60277] script '/home/jaimito/www/mywebsite.com/public/wp-login.php' not found or unable to stat [Mon Oct 12 17:47:30.367421 2015] [:error] [pid 3368] [client 91.210.144.233:61180] script '/home/jaimito/www/mywebsite.com/public/admin.php' not found or unable to stat [Wed Oct 14 08:02:41.769513 2015] [:error] [pid 6195] [client 146.185.239.200:65452] script '/home/jaimito/www/mywebsite.com/public/wp-login.php' not found or unable to stat, referer: http://mywebsite.com/wp-login.php [Wed Oct 14 08:02:42.143803 2015] [:error] [pid 6197] [client 146.185.239.200:49223] script '/home/jaimito/www/mywebsite.com/public/admin.php' not found or unable to stat, referer: http://mywebsite.com/admin.php [Wed Oct 14 08:02:42.680991 2015] [:error] [pid 6195] [client 146.185.239.200:49436] script '/home/jaimito/www/mywebsite.com/public/index.php' not found or unable to stat, referer: http://mywebsite.com/index.php/admin/ Looks to me like it is trying to access commonly known URLs for WordPress admin. Of course it won't find anything!
  7. I just switched another site to DigitalOcean. This time around, I am trying out ServerPilot. Please correct me if I am wrong, but: ServerPilot basically installs/installed a full LAMP server, and firewall. Right? Because traditionally I would have had to do all that manually via SSH. So ServerPilot is like an installer service? I don't quite get it. I am sure it offers TONS more, I see it mentioned often by other devs.
  8. I set up email on a new droplet today. There's a little button for automagically setting up MX records for Gmail. Literally. One click.
  9. I used to use http://www.gistboxapp.com but found myself without Internet connection the other day. My secondary collection became my primary, lol, which is ZIM-wiki. It's perfect because all notes are saved as simple text files. And since I work at home, I simply git push/pull to my little server. How do you store your code snippets?
  10. http://dbv.vizuina.com/ My Googleism is pretty amazing today, lol. Looks like a pretty cool project.
  11. Revisiting an old thread: On my Debian box, I have a dump.sh script that I run manually. Also have a git hook pre-commit that runs the same script. Then I git commit to my gitlab account and rsync my site to live site. I want to automate as much as possible and learn bash as I go. My next script (once i figure out how) will rsync the latest dump.sql to the live site and import. --- EDIT, adding below: On second thought. Since I am using git. Is there a way, to just dump the latest changes in the database, and have that teeny tiny sql file, instead of dumping the whole thing? Mine is still relatively small, but over time, it will grow.
  12. Last I used them, they gave the option to select the data center nearest you, which is quite nice
  13. What is the old site running on? What CMS or blog.
  14. I used to use ExpressionEngine years years ago. Had several commercial licenses. They began to decline and I foresaw the inevitable crash, so I bailed and began looking for a new CMS. I found many CMS sites listing Drumlapress and other popular titles. Those that offered online Demos, I demoed. Those that offered downloads, I downloaded, installed and tested. I graded them based on their docs, community, back-end, ease of installation, ease of use, etc. But nothing lured me much more than ProcessWire. As they say, "the rest is history".
  15. I spoke it loudly using my favorite foreigner - AH-nold Incredibly convincing!
  16. I'm several months late to CONGRATULATE you CONGRATULATIONS! lol How are the liking, 3.5 months later?
  17. I've got a large project coming up and went with Option #1 [https://processwire.com/api/modules/multi-site-support/] Mostly because I need the organization (I AM an organized fellow). When I tried Option #2, I just encountered a bit of complexity, that's all really. Option #1 was fairly quick and simple to implement. I was a little confused for a while. Didn't know if I had to edit my /etc/hosts file or my vhosts to "point" to the main domain. Then after I got it all worked out and it went smoothly, I was not able to access a URL without the trailing slash: mainsite.dev/ -> worked fine mainsite.dev/testpage1/ -> worked fine test.mainsite.dev/ -> worked fine test.mainsite.dev/testpage2/ -> worked fine test.mainsite.dev/testpage2 -> threw a 404 error, page not found, without the trailing slash I did all my testing on localhost, Debian Jessie 8.2. I doubt it was a server config. My Digital Ocean droplet is nearly identical to my home setup, so I am certain I would have had issues there as well. I just did not deploy to verify 100%. So, I just went back to Option #1 after reading all these 8 pages and testing out every option and code snippet offered. But no worries though
  18. I find this to be an incredibly useful module! I wish it worked as intended
  19. I have one on Digital Ocean and several more on NearlyFreeSpeech.
  20. I used Vagrant for a short while. I really LOVED one amazing feature: https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/share/ You can literally share (for I think 1 hour), your localhost project with anyone on the Internet. It generates a totally unique URL and whomever has that URL can visit the site. Front end, Back end. Just as you would on your localhost.
  21. I took a serious try at Vagrant. Really, I did. Spent a week trying its various plugins, hostupdater and some other useful ones I read about. In the end, it just complicated my workflow. I have as many as 8 localhost sites in various stages on my machine. I use only two hosts (nearlyfreespeech and digitalocean). I develop on Debian. Git repos for all projects currently saved to bitbucket but soon may be moving to gitlab I really did not want a new instance of vagrant running for each project, costing me several gigs of space. Otherwise, I totally loved the experience. I think it's a pretty amazing concept! I went with Scotch Box and liked having everything set up
  22. Then what OS are you using?
