Install and Setup ZFS on Debian 11

by

0

The full form of ZFS is Zettabyte File System. The ZFS filesystem is a 128-bit filesystem. The ZFS supported filesystem size is 3×10(to the poer 24) TB. You may never encounter such a big filesystem in real life. The ZFS filesystem was designed to keep and access an insane amount of data.

Enabling Debian contrib Package Repository:

The ZFS filesystem packages are available in the official Debian 11 contrib package repository. The contrib package repository is not enabled on Debian 11 by default. But you can easily enable it from the command-line.

To enable the contrib package repository, open a Terminal and run the following command:

$ sudo apt-add-repository contrib

The official Debian contrib repository should be enabled.

$ sudo apt-get update

Installing ZFS Filesystem Dependencies:

You must install the libraries that the ZFS filesystem kernel module depends on before installing the ZFS filesystem on Debian 11. Continue reading “Install and Setup ZFS on Debian 11” »

Fix ‘Another Update is Currently in Progress’ Error in WordPress

by

0

When you’re experiencing the another update in process error, you need to delete the ‘core_updater.lock’ file from your WordPress database. The easiest way to do this is by using phpMyAdmin.

Note: Before you make changes to your database or WordPress theme files, it’s a good idea to create a full website backup. To learn more, see our guide on how to backup your WordPress site.

Launch the phpMyAdmin app, where you need to select your WordPress database. Once you click your database, it will display all of the tables inside the database.

Then, you need to click the ‘Browse’ button next to the WordPress options tables (wp_options).

This brings up all of the rows inside the options table. 

You need to find the row with the option name ‘core_updater.lock’ and click on the delete button next to it.

Now, phpMyAdmin will automatically delete the row from your database. 

When you go back to your WordPress website, the another update in process error will be gone, and you can continue updating your site.

Upgrading WordPress Core Manually

by

0

  1. First create a full backup of your website. This is very important in case you make a mistake.
  2. Download the newest WordPress ZIP file from wordpress.org.
  3. Unzip the file into a directory on your local machine or in a separate directory on your website.
  4. Deactivate all of the plugins on your WordPress site.
  5. Go to your website root directory and delete your ‘wp-includes’ and ‘wp-admin’ directories. You can do this via sFTP or via SSH.
  6. Upload (or copy over) the new wp-includes and wp-admin directories from the new version of WordPress you unzipped to your website root directory to replace the directories you just deleted.
  7. Don’t delete your wp-content directory or any of the files in that directory. Copy over the files from the wp-content directory in the new version of WordPress to your existing wp-content directory. You will overwrite any existing files with the same name. All of your other files in wp-content will remain in place.
  8. Copy all files from the root (‘/’) directory of the new version of WordPress that you unzipped into your website root directory (or the root directory of your WordPress installation). You will overwrite any existing files and new files will also be copied across. Your wp-config.php file will not be affected because WordPress is never distributed with a wp-config.php file.
  9. Examine the wp-config-sample.php which is distributed with WordPress to see if any new settings have been added that you may want to use or modify.
  10. If you are upgrading manually after a failed auto-update, remove the .maintenance file from your WordPress root directory. This will remove the ‘failed update’ message from your site.
  11. Visit your main WordPress admin page at /wp-admin/ where you may be asked to sign-in again. You may also have to upgrade your database and will be prompted if this is needed. If you can’t sign-in, try clearing your cookies.
  12. Re-enable your plugins which you disabled earlier.
  13. Clear your browser cache to ensure you can see all changes. If you are using a front-end cache like ‘varnish’ you should also clear that to ensure that your customers can see the newest changes on your site.
    Your upgrade is now complete and you should be running the newest version of WordPress.
