I have a question about google play link.
I've created an app that has the same name as other app. After I realised that app with such name already exists, I changed the name of app directory in Android Studio to other name. Link still contains the same name that other app with other package name, now I can't go back. Is it legal to use other app's name in google play link with my company domain? (after change name in app directory in Android Studio?).
Relevant information will helpful.
Thanks
I can't comment on legality - you'd have to ask a lawyer for that, not a programming Q&A site. But it is always a good idea to make the package name of your app start with the reverse of the domain name that you own. For example, if you owned myfirstapp.com then make your app package name com.myfirstapp. This avoids clashes and problems like this. So for example GMail is com.google.android.gm because Google owns google.com.
You can't change the package name once you have created it. However in your case if you don't have many users already then I'd just create a new app with the new package name, and ask your users to move. If you already have thousands of users you might just have to live with your old package name. But I'd ask a lawyer.

I have a website and it's domain name is
doiniqbazar.com
I developed this site using laravel framework.When i send a link "doiniqbazar.com" to my friends in facebook messenger it show the applicaation name "Laravel".
I changed both .env file and config/app.php file but still not
working.
Is there any procedure to change laravel app name??
This display has nothing necessarily to do with your app name.
It'll grab this from the <title> or og:title meta tags in your HTML. (You may be outputting the APP_NAME value here.)
Facebook has a handy tool for debugging this sort of sharing metadata issue.
Note: It may also be cached. Facebook's debugger reported the same Laravel title in your title tag; when I did a re-scrape it picked up your new title. Apple will likely do the same after a while; I'm not aware of a re-scrape API on their end.

I'm working on a starter app and have a few users trialling it out.
I assembled it in Laravel 5.4, its a simple blogging and email tool for users that can write articles and email their subscribers.
I've had a few "fake users" but nothing majorly malicious mess with the site so far however, quite recently I'm noticing a folder appear in my uploads directory (where other users folders are stored with an id, ie usr123).
I keep seeing this folder appear called "unknown_user", I noticed it had malicious images with .php.jpg extension within it the first time so I deleted it. Now it just appears as an empty directory within my fileman uploads folder.
I keep deleting it, Its not relative to active existing users but it keeps coming back.
I've checked everywhere in the app and can't figure out how this is happening and can't find anything when searching online.
There are no frontend entry points either. any ideas?
I finally figured this out.
Fileman creates "unknown_user" directory when it can't find the user id from the
the users session.
Looking deeper fileman was publicly accessible via url so corrected my routes :)
Sorry if it seemed like an amateur question- I'm an amateur still learning.
I'm currently trying to upload a html+css page to my hosting service (1&1 internet).
Unfortunately, I have very little experience in that; and would like to ask this question:
How is it possible to update the existing homepage on a site that already has been uploaded to the web?
I'm using WebspaceExplorer. Now, when I enter it, (Hosting section) there are a lot of folders and files with a few options like download, delete and so on.
I can't seem to find out how to make the program understand which one should be the homepage. This is because I see that the page I uploaded is online and accessible, but is not the first page the user sees! How can I change it?
It may be confusing because of the poor description so here is the url of both:
velten-berlin.org (current Homepage)
velten-berlin.org/Upload (desired homepage)
This is for a client so I won't share exact domains but the problem is as follows..
I took over development of a website from a prior developer.
The hosting is Hostgator Business.
The primary domain is primary.com.
There is an addon domain addon.com.
The primary domain document root is /home1/username/public_html.
The addon's document root is /home1/username/addon.com.
www.addon.com had a WordPress installation which the developer had edited instead of using plugins to achieve his goals. The site also needed a complete redesign so I felt it logical to simply wipe the installation and replace it.
So, I deleted all of the WordPress files and uploaded a new copy of WordPress from wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
Prior to deleting the old installation, the domain loaded files from it's document root perfectly.
After uploading the new installation instead of resolving to addon.com it is instead resolving to primary.com/addon.com
I've never seen this happen before so I'm lost.
There's no errors in any available logs.
All file permissions are correct.. I've triple-checked.
I've tried deleting all files and creating simple index.php and index.html files to see if it would access them ... it doesn't.
This happens in each browser I use on Windows and Linux.
I don't understand it because all I did was swap out the old WP install for a new one.
I went and re-uploaded the old WordPress installation so everything is 100% how it was but it is still going to primary.com/addon.com instead of addon.com.
Has anyone faced this issue before? I usually use Bluehost but even when I've used Hostgator in the past I've never seen this happen.
I double-checked the addon domain settings as well as anything else I could think of and everything appears normal.
I even deleted the addon domain and re-added it with the document root of /home1/username/addon.com and it still goes to primary.com/addon.com in the browser.
I submitted a ticket with Hostgator but they have not replied yet.
I'm sorry if this is long. This is my first time asking for help on here and I wanted to be sure I included everything I could.
Hostgator finally got back to me.
The previous developer had used the one-click WordPress install.
Apparently once someone uses a one-click install the only way it works is if you keep using the one-click install/you cannot do it manually any more.
From all the servers and sites I've setup this makes no sense and is a problem with Hostgator. Support did not really tell me anything other than "you have to use the one click install since the prior developer did". Great service.
Hope this saves someone some hassle.
From this it sounds like you were moving a WordPress site from the primary domain to an add on domain.
Simply moving the files from the primary to the add on domain will not make it work on the add on domain because in the database and throughout the coding of the WordPress site it would all be configured and coded for the primary domain.
It sounds like you would need to update the site home and site url from the primary to the add on domain url.

Also I would be suggest using a search and replace type plugin to go through all the internal coding to update the urls and links to the add on domain.

If I publish app as hidden and then make it public, will it's link changed?
No. The Zune URL is based on the application ID, so as long as it is the same (you didn't change it), the URL will follow this structure:
http://social.zune.net/redirect?type=phoneApp&id=APP_ID
