Apache not running PHP scripts on fedora-23

From last few days, I was facing a strange issue. I installed all the requirements for LAMP(Linux Apache MySQL PHP) and tried to run the PHP script but don’t know why it was not working. All the time just getting the raw content of the PHP scripts.

After digging and spending lots of time on searching this issue, I got a workaround which seems working to me. Here are the steps,

sudo dnf update

MySQL

sudo dnf install mysql-server mysql mysql-community-server

systemctl start mysqld.service

systemctl enable mysqld.service

/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation

httpd(Apache)

sudo dnf install httpd

sudo systemctl start httpd.service

sudo systemctl enable httpd

firewall-cmd –permanent –add-service=http

firewall-cmd –permanent –add-service=https

firewall-cmd –reload

PHP

sudo dnf install php php-mysql -y

sudo systemctl restart httpd.service

sudo systemctl reload firewalld

.conf file

sudo vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/project.conf

// Contents of project.conf file

Restart apache

sudo systemctl restart httpd.service

Now you can access project.dev or project-alias.dev in your browser.

History of my watch PR

I was working on Pagure, fixed few random issues. That boost me up so searched for more issues and thought why not go for adding a feature! I just selected one and asked Pingou that I want to work on this issue.

I started working on the issue. That was basically a feature for showing the users either you are watching or not the current repo and you can also change the current watch status for the repo. I added the markup, migrations, logics and pushed it. I was excited “Yea, Now I have done some coding!!”. But there was time for this thought. I started getting comments, those were not for “I have done a great coding!” rather for the fixes. Even I got comments for indentation fixes.

I started to work as per the comments and reached to a stage where I realized I must missing something that was nothing just my interest. I left working on this for few days and then restarted.

After 67 comments and lots of fixes, the PR got merged. In this bug fixing process I learned so many things like Alembic, SQLAlchemy, testing etc. Hopefully, I’ll see this feature on the next version of Pagure.

thanks Pingou.

dgplug 8 stones crossed-miles ahead

Today’s 8th sept, anniversary of dgplug. And on this eve i want to wish all opulent coders and fedora users a great success ahead.

On my early days though i was familiar with fedora, I didnt had a way with xchat. After brushing my shoulders and working with other prominent fedora users i came across knowing a lot about xchat. “Its an IRC client ” i thought, constraining myself to be a part of it. But as days went by i got par with my novice attitude and broadened my vision to closely witness the extravagent usage of xchat .I realised it as a mean way to good to interact, learn and enrich thoughts.
I come closer through this to some of my seniors like kushal das, rtnpro, bamacharan and also one of my close friend Sayan. After passing years in dgplug i am enthusiast far more confident and still absorbing. I like to extend my thanks to my seniors and mates to shape me the way i am today.

Now these days i am just trying to continue with open source projects and also organizing dgplug meets in my college.

Thanks to my friend Tuhin to express my views on this hefty text.

How to Create GPG key ?

Before you can get or send GPG encrypted mail, you need to generate your public and private keys with GPG.

In fedora open the terminal window and continue with the following steps. These steps are very technical.

Step 1. In terminal enter gpg –gen-key.

Step 2. Select what kind of key you want then press enter.

Step 3. Select a key length, then press Enter.

Step 4. Enter how long your key should be valid for.

Step 5. Type your real name, then press Enter.

Step 6. Type your email address, then press Enter.

Step 7. Type a comment, then press Enter(This is optional part).

Step 8. Review your selected user ID and email. If it is correct, press O.

Step 9. Type a passphrase(password), then press Enter.

Step 10. Move your mouse randomly to generate the keys.

It may take a few minutes. After the key generated, you can view your gpg key by entering command gpg –list-keys

in terminal.

After entering command gpg –list-keys in terminal there is something similar to this:

/home/you/.gnupg/pubring.gpg

– – – – – – – – – – — – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

pub   2386R/838765B3 2012-01-13 [expires: 2014-01-13]

uid                  Realname <admin@example.com>

sub   3648T/37D68GFF 2012-01-13 [expires: 2014-01-13]

Check your public key ID with gpg –list-keys. It is the string after 2386R on the line beginning

with pub. In the example above, it is 838765B3.
