  • Lawyer reacts to settlement website design

    I’m curious, what should a settlement website look like?

  • Example GitHub PHP Project

    As a former independent web developer, I had very little use for GitHub as my project base consisted of small business owners and their requirements mostly never got past having a WordPress website and business email setup.

    Today, using Git repos are vital for my workflow as I’ve been working with various teams to push web apps to live status. Now, I can’t picture not using Git repos for any project. After being a largely siloed developer, my work is now part of a very collaborative process.

    With that said, I’ve been working on a personal project, jsldvr/example.com, which is a PHP web app that is supposed to make developing a website as easy as possible for those that use cPanel or AWS. The app is more of an exercise in learning how to use GitHub, and building a secure PHP app from scratch.

    I don’t have a road map with this project. I simply want to have fun with it and learn as much as I can about collaborating and/or developing on GitHub.

  • Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using ::1.

    Preface:

    I’ve been using ChatGPT as a development tool as of late. Prior to searching for possible bug fixes, I’ll check to see if ChatGPT has an answer to what I would normally use as a query on Google or Bing. In this instance, I receive the following error after running service apache2 start.

    Me:

    AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using ::1. Set the ‘ServerName’ directive globally to suppress this message

    ChatGPT:

    This message is generated by the Apache web server and is indicating that the server is not configured with a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the current IP address.

    To resolve this issue, you can set the ServerName directive globally in the Apache configuration file to specify the FQDN of your server. This can be done by following these steps:

    1. Open the Apache configuration file for editing. This is typically located at /etc/apache2/apache2.conf or /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.
    2. Search for the ServerName directive. If it is commented out (i.e., prefixed with a #), remove the # character to uncomment the line.
    3. If the ServerName directive does not exist, add it to the configuration file as follows:
    ServerName yourserver.example.com

    Replace yourserver.example.com with the FQDN of your server.

    1. Save the configuration file and restart the Apache service to apply the changes:
    sudo service apache2 restart
    

    After completing these steps, the message should no longer appear and the Apache web server should be able to determine the server’s FQDN.

    Result:

    The error did not repeat itself.

    Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using ::1.
  • Build Your Own Website

    brown rock formation under white and blue cloudy sky

    Establishing your own website or blog is not just a statement of independence, but a strategic move to ensure your voice is heard, unhindered by the whims of social media giants.

    No matter what social media platform dominates the market, or who owns your favorite platform, the best method for anyone to get their message out is via their own website or blog. It’s never been easier to purchase a domain name, setup a web hosting service, and install a CMS like WordPress. After some configuration, the site is ready to go live.

    Eventually, I may post an easy-to-use guide on how to launch your own personal website. But in the meantime, here’s a link to WordPress hosting suggestions by the folks at WordPress. Don’t wait, blog today!

    Please note: this suggestion works well for individuals that need to get a message out, and not businesses. For that, I would recommend hiring a good cloud developer with a strong sense of cyber security.
