Ubuntu old repository add

by

0

If you want to continue using an outdated release then edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change archive.ubuntu.com and security.ubuntu.com to old-releases.ubuntu.com.

You can do this with sed:

sudo sed -i -re 's/([a-z]{2}\.)?archive.ubuntu.com|security.ubuntu.com/old-releases.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list

then update with:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Sometimes, it might be faster to create backups of your system and reinstall using supported release instead.

Install CakePHP 3 On Ubuntu 16.04

by

0

This guide assumes you’ve set up a Ubuntu 14.04 server and have MYSQL up and running. This guide uses the “PHPMyAdmin” from the “One Click Apps” available on Digital Ocean running on a vps running Ubuntu 16.04. The smallest memory (512mb) should be enough to get you up and running.

If you don’t have a Digital Ocean account (you should, they’re a great service) get one here.

Step 1: Update Package Manager

ssh root@YOUR-IP

Note: If this is the first time you’ve logged into your vps, you will be asked to change the password from the one emailed to you when you created your vps. This is fairly self explanatory, simply follow the prompts.

Update your package manager:

sudo apt-get update

Step 2: Install Some PHP Modules

We need to install a few PHP modules that CakePHP uses. Namely the curl, zip, intl and sqlite modules. Continue reading “Install CakePHP 3 On Ubuntu 16.04” »

Installing Smokeping on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

by

0

Installing Smokeping on Ubuntu used to be a total breeze. Since 14.04 however, it’s been a bit of a mission.

This guide assumes a fresh out of the box Ubuntu install. I’m using the 64bit Server variety, but this should work on any 14.04 system.

UPDATE – It also works perfectly on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Server :~)

Step 1: install smokeping (and you’re done).

sudo apt-get install smokeping -y

Step 2:  normally, you’d be done by now.. But things have changed.

sudo nano /etc/smokeping/config.d/pathnames

You’re going to want to go into the pathnames file and comment out the line about mail. Setting up mail to work with smokeping is outside the scope of this post. Because I’m lazy.

Do this:

#sendmail = /usr/sbin/sendmail

Then hit CTRL-O, Enter, CTRL-X. That’s how you save a file in Nano, I won’t stick that bit in again. Continue reading “Installing Smokeping on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS” »

Install Redis Server and PHP-Redis on Debian or Ubuntu System

by

0

you can install the phpredis extension from the Ubuntu respositories.

First, if you don’t have it installed already, let’s install Redis:

sudo apt-get install redis-server

After we get Redis installed (and/or verified that it was installed), we can install the PHP module for Redis:

sudo apt-get install php5-redis

After the module is done installing, you will want to restart your webserver and/or process manager (php-fpm, spawncgi, et cetera). Once you’ve restarted, you can check phpinfo() for a new section labeled Redis.

On Ubuntu 14.x System, you may try:

Install Redis 2.8.9

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:chris-lea/redis-server
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install redis-server

Remove Redis 2.8.9

sudo apt-get purge--auto-remove redis-server
