I have a folder like this in my gitlab
test-project/
DEV/application-testconfig.properties
SYS/application-testconfig.properties
PROD/application-testconfig.properties
appication-commonconfig.properties
These testconfig.properties file contents differ per environment
How do i access the files based on the environment in my spring config server?
Ex:
I would like to use the url like the below for prod, dev:
https://my.configserver.com/my-project/prod/testconfig/master,
https://my.configserver.com/my-project/dev/testconfig/master
also I should be able to access appication-commonconfig.properties
The problem is i am migrating around 30 config files per each environment. the filename in one environment is similar in the other. I can't rename all the files to have "-dev" or "-prod" in it
I've tried with different paths but no luck

I am confused about .env file as when I hosted the laravel application the .env file is missing on the web server. If anybody knows the way how can we find .env file on the server please answer.
Try ls -la to list all files in your web root.
As other have said, it sounds like the file exists but you cannot see it because it is a hidden file (denoted by the . in .env)
For future reference, whilst .env is likely to be excluded in a .gitignore there is often a .env.example which is include that you can copy and modify for your environment.
By default a Laravel app's Git repo will ignore the .env file - it's because you will use this on your development machine to configure the app to work on that environment.
You should have another .env file on your server which provides the configuration required for your app to run in that environment. This file should be maintained between deployments - and most importantly, the credentials inside of it should not be tracked in a repo.
Your .env file is there! It is a hidden file and you can't see it with gui unless if you somehow reveal hidden files! I recommend you to use putty over windows or ssh over linux terminal and edit it if you know how to do that.
By default some files like .env, .htaccess are hidden on the server therefore to see these files we need to set as show hidden files on the server settings.
In Play, you can use multiple config files (application.conf, prod.conf...). Usually you would have a default conf file, i.e. application.conf, and let the other files import it and overload specific values.
One case is for example when you have a production database and wand to overwrite access configuration values set by developers and use credentials only known to the production personnel.
Here is a manual on this topic that say that the wanted config is to be specified as a parameter when running the application
I am deploying my application onto Heroku, which takes care of running the application. The only peace missing here and I can't find is how to tell Heroku which config file to load?
I solved this by using a Procfile with the contents:
web: target/universal/stage/bin/my_app -Dhttp.port=$PORT -Dconfig.resource=my-special.conf
You can define environment variables for your Heroku app, e.g. using the heroku config CLI command:
heroku config:set PLAY_CONFIG_FILE=application.conf
See Heroku config vars.
I'll straight to my point. I have an machine which installed gitlab and nginx, and I have an fresh laravel project that already has commited, but I need to access the source code of "public" directory of laravel for my nginx. how to get source code of public directory, so I can put into line "root path" in files "sites-enabled" nginx, so nginx can access those files ?
The GitLab API doesn't expose the filesystem location directly so you need to stitch the url together.
To get the entry point of all your repositories check you GitLab configuration. (Normally /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb). Find the key gitlab_git_http_server['repo_root'].
In there you will see folders which represent your namespaces in these folders are your project.
I am using spring cloud config server to host a centralized location for all the property files configurations to be used in the project.
I tried using the config files from a local file system using below and it works fine:
spring.profiles.active=native
spring.cloud.config.server.native.searchLocations=file://${HOME}/Documents/test-config/cloud-config-properties/
I also used the git repo using: spring.cloud.config.server.git.uri=ssh://xxxxxx.com:7999/test/cloud-config-properties.git
I would like to try using a combination of this in my project.
Example - for dev/test profile - i would like to use from local filesystem and for the production - I would like to use Git repository.
I enabled both the git uri and native profiles in my application.properties in config server application. But the properties are always picked up from the local file system. Is this possible?
Not supported out of the box, however there is a workaround for this. You can define the basedir for the configuration server, which is where it saves the files it fetches from the remote server, by setting the property (in the config server):
spring.cloud.config.server.git.basedir=<your_dir>
If you are working with docker, you can map this directory to the host filesystem.
Now whatever file you put in there will be picked up by configuration-server if it matches any of the application/profile in the request. For example you could put a file there called application-dynamic.properties, and have all your clients use dynamic as the last profile, for example
spring.profiles.active=systesting,dynamic
This way everything you will put in application-dynamic.properties will override whatever is defined in your config repo.
One thing to notice though is that you need to add the file only after configuartion server starts, because it deletes this folder during startup.
Needles to say, it's not a good practice doing this in production (for example a restart will cause the file to be deleted), but for test/dev this is the best option.
I am working on setting up a load balancing cluster on windows server 2012 and have a shared drive where I want the configuration files for Apache to exist at. This way each member of the LB can load the exact same config files. How do I change where the config file is located independently of where the ServerRoot is?
Start the Apache process with the -d parameter and give your alternative ServerRoot as an argument, though I'd imagine it would be a much better idea for you to use some mechanism to sync the files locally to each server.
Also read http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#mutex, as it's advised if you're running from a networked file system.
If you just want to specify the main config file, start the process with the -f parameter and the path to the config file as an argument.
