what is VPS?

VPS means virtual private server. This is the bridge between shared hosting and dedicated hosting. In VPS, the user gets superuser privileges of his server. Here the entire server is partitioned into several blocks. Each block acts like a full hosting server with superuser privileges. VPS providers with cloud computing support gives the option of adding extra servers as our demand grows, we can remove that extra server at any time. Some VPS owners want to minimize their costing by renting their unused space. We can install partition software to partition our slice and then rent our unused slice to minimize our cost.

creating multi-step form

Sometimes we need to create multi-step form. But why should we create a multi-step form? and when should we create those? if our form has many fields to fill up, then at times our users may get bored typing texts, so, they may leave the form without submitting the form. But if we have multi-step forms then we can split a long form into several short forms, so, users can submit short group of informations and at any time they can leave the process, but their information upto which they have submitted will be stored at the database, and they can start filling up the form from thereon.

we can use hidden input fields, sessions or store information to databases at each step to carry the information. if we use hidden fields we need to pass a great amount of data at each form submission except the first one, it is not the recommended process. we can store the values into sessions and it will prevent resubmitting the values. We can store the information into databases also.

Creating opencart theme

We can easily create a new opencart theme. Copying the whole default theme folder will make some problem during update of opencart. So, we need to copy files from default folder selectively. First get an opencart package from their site. Then copy the following files to your new theme folder which is under '/catalog/view/theme/'. We named it 'themecart'.

catalog/view/theme/default/stylesheet/*
catalog/view/theme/default/image/*
catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/header.tpl

Here * means all files. Choose theme 'themecart' from the main settings section under the admin area.

Now we need to replace all the 'default' word with our theme name 'themecart' in the header.tpl file. And then save the file.

Now Your new theme folder is ready for customization. Make change in the stylesheet.css and save it. Just copy the file from the default folder that you need to change. That's it.

Sudoers file modification

We can change sudo privileges to users groups and also can do lots of new commands aliases with /etc/sudoers file. you need to type the following command to open the file:

sudo visudo

This will open the file in the vi window, then we will write our necessary commands within the file. to add a root user with all permissions from all terminals type the following commands:

root ALL=(ALL) ALL

This means root user gains previleges of executing all commands from all terminals. We can set a user with the following specific previleges:

guest ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/

this means user guest has can execute commands for path /usr/bin without any password.

To make a command aliasing we can write the following command:

cmnd_alias apache_restart /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Now we will have a command apache_restart which will perform the restart operation of apache.

Restart Apache using Cron job in php

Sometimes we need to restart apache from our scripts automatically. Other than root user privileges, other users need to use sudo keyword to restart apache. But it needs password for sudo command. We can change sudo permissions and set options with the /etc/sudoers flie. Edit the file with the following command:

sudo visudo 

php scripts are run with www-data user previleges. We can get the current user info with the command:

whoami

So, we need set options in the /etc/sudoers flie for user www-data. Set the following:

www-data ALL=NOPASSWD

So, sudo will not prompt for password while running the script.
Use exec functions to execute your command through php.
