Vagrant reload doesn't work, something else is running - laravel

Homestead.yaml is set up correctly:
folders:
- map: ~/web/sites/example
to: /home/vagrant/sites/example
sites:
- map: example.app
to: /home/vagrant/sites/example/public
and localhost is also set up correctly:
127.0.0.1 example.app
which should show the default Laravel welcome page after I use vagrant reload --provision, but it shows 'It works!' instead. Vagrant halt still shows 'It works!', so something else is running, probably from me testing something else. But I don't remember what I have done.
How do I figure out what is running? Googling "localhost folder" doesn't help. Or is something else wrong? I'm using a Mac, by the way.

To figure out what is running, you can use the netstat command, that will show you network connections.
Since you are accessing only by 127.0.0.1, you must be using this service port 80, so using netstat -n | grep ":80" may show you this. If you are using other port, and know it by number, you can pass this to grep, instead of the cited "80".

Why does changing a hostname in the hosts file not change my computer name?

I have to run some servers with different names. So I changed the hostname in Windows 10 inside C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts. I changed the name from localhost to brandcil.local:
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 brandcil.local
# ::1 brandcil.local
Now when I am running nslookup 127.0.0.1 in powershell terminal, it is showing this:
Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.43.1
Name: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
I restarted my machine but it does not take effect. How do I change the hostname then?
Changing the hosts file will not change the hostname. It is only used for hostname-IP-resolution. Besides that, each line that begins with # is a comment and not an active configuration. You can rename a computer with the following PowerShell cmdlet:
Rename-Computer -NewName brandcil -Restart
First of all, any line in the hosts file that begins with # is a comment and will be ignored. The file itself tells you this if you read it. Second, the hosts file has nothing to do with your computer's hostname. All you're doing is creating aliases that will only work on the machines you modify the hosts file on. You're not changing the hostname at all. Third, localhost -> 127.0.0.1 is a static mapping no longer controlled by the hosts file so it will always map to 127.0.0.1. Again, the hosts file tells you this if you read it.
To rename your computer go into Settings --> System --> About. There's a "Rename this PC" button.
If you don't want to use that, then I recommend using the Rename-Computer Powershell command.

VPS: Taking control of hotname and /etc/resolv.conf (debian 10)

Wanting to set hostname and domain name or wanting so take control of what dns server to use.
If I edit resolv.conf at reboot changes are reseted to what comes from dhcp
playing with /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg doesn't seem to change the problem.
It's because it's got nothing to do with cloud settings lol
the magie manly happens in /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf
I commented out that line
send host-name = gethostname();
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
# domain-name, domain-name-servers, domain-search, host-name,
dhcp6.name-servers, dhcp6.domain-search, dhcp6.fqdn, dhcp6.sntp-servers,
netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope, interface-mtu,
rfc3442-classless-static-routes, ntp-servers;
Then in /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg I had to adjust a couple things
[...]
# preserve_hostname: false
preserve_hostname: true
[...]
# - timezone
[...]
# manage_etc_hosts: true
manage_etc_hosts: false
I also needed to add a line in /etc/hosts
127.0.1.1 myName.Mydomain.foo myName
127.0.1.1 xxxxx.your-cloud.etc xxxxx
127.0.0.1 localhost
Lost time on this... so I thought it might be nice to share the solution.

Bash commands putting out extra information which results into issues with scripts

Okay, hopefully I can explain this correctly as I have no idea what's causing this or how to resolve this.
For some reason bash commands (on a CentOS 6.x server) are displaying more information than "normally" and that causes issues with certain scripts. I have no clue if there is a name for this, but hopefully someone knows a solution for this.
First example.
Correct / good server:
[root#goodserver ~]# vzctl enter 3567
entered into CT 3567
[root#example /]#
(this is the correct behaviour)
Incorrect / bad server:
[root#badserver /]# vzctl enter 3127
Entering CT
entered into CT 3127
Open /dev/pts/0
[root#example /]#
With the "bad" server it will display more information as usual, like:
Entering CT
Open /dev/pts/0
It's like it parsing extra information on what it's doing.
Ofcourse the above is purely something cosmetic, however with several bash scripts we use, these issues are really issues.
A part of the script we use, uses the following command (there are more, but this is mainly a example of what's wrong):
DOMAIN=`vzctl exec $VEID 'hostname -d'`
The result of the above information is parsed in /etc/named.conf.
On the GOOD server it would be added in the named.conf like this:
zone "example.com" {
type master;
file "example.com";
allow-transfer {
200.190.100.10;
200.190.101.10;
common-allow-transfer;
};
};
The above is correct.
On the BAD server it would be added in the named.conf like this:
zone "Executing command: hostname -d
example.com" {
type master;
file "Executing command: hostname -d
example.com";
allow-transfer {
200.190.100.10;
200.190.101.10;
common-allow-transfer;
};
};
So it's add stuff of the action it does, in this example "Executing command: hostname -d"
Another example here when I run the command on a good server and on the bad server.
Bad server:
[root#bad-server /]# DOMAIN=`vzctl exec 3333 'hostname -d'`
[root#bad-server /]# echo $DOMAIN
Executing command: hostname -d example.com
Good server:
[root#good-server ~]# DOMAIN=`vzctl exec 4444 'hostname -d'`
[root#good-server ~]# echo $DOMAIN
example.com
My knowledge is limited, but I have tried several things checking rsyslog and the grub.conf, but nothing seems out of the ordinary.
I have no clue why it's displaying the extra information.
Probably it's something simple / stupid, but I have been trying to solve this for hours now and I really have no clue...
So any help is really appreciated.
Added information:
Both servers use: kernel.printk = 7 4 1 7
(I don't know if that's useful)
Well (thanks to Aaron for pointing me in the right direction) I finally found the little culprit which was causing all the issues I experienced with this script (which worked for every other server, so no need to change that obviously).
The issues were caused by the VERBOSE leven set in vz.conf (located in /etc/vz/ directory). There is an option in there called "VERBOSE" and in my case it was set to 3.
According to OpenVZ's website it does the following:
Increments logging level up from the default. Can be used multiple times.
Default value is set to the value of VERBOSE parameter in the global
configuration file vz.conf(5), or to 0 if not set by VERBOSE parameter.
After I changed VERBOSE=3 to VERBOSE=0 my script worked fine once again (as it did for every other server). :-)
So a big shoutout to Aaron for pointing me in the right direction. The answer is easy when you know where to look!
Sorry to say, but I am kinda disappointed by ndim's reaction. This is the 2nd time he was very unhelpful and rude in his response after that. He clearly didn't read the issue I posted correctly. Oh well.
I would make sure to properly parse the output of the command. In this case, we are only interested in lines of the form
entered into CT 12345
One way of doing this would be to pipe everything through sed and having sed print only the number when the line looks as above (untested, and I always forget which braces/brackets/parens need a backslash in front of them):
whateverthecommand | sed -n 's/^entered into CT ([0-9]{1,})$/\1/p'

Remove EC2's entry from resolv.conf

I have private DNS servers and I want to write them to resolv.conf with resolvconf on Debian on AWS/EC2.
There is a problem in the order of nameserver entries.
In my resolv.conf, EC2's default nameserver is always written at first line like so:
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 172.16.0.23
nameserver 10.0.1.185
nameserver 10.100.0.130
search ap-northeast-1.compute.internal
172.16.0.23 is EC2's default nameserver and others are mine.
How to remove EC2 entry? Or, how to move EC2 entry to third?
Here I have an interface file:
% ls -l /etc/resolvconf/run/interface/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 62 Jun 7 23:35 eth0
It seems that the file eth0 is automatically generated by dhcp so can't remove it permanently.
% cat /etc/resolvconf/run/interface/eth0
search ap-northeast-1.compute.internal
nameserver 172.16.0.23
My private DNS entry is here:
% cat /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base
nameserver 10.0.1.185
nameserver 10.100.0.130
Please help.
I think I just solved a very similar problem. I was bothered by Amazon EC2's crappy internal DNS servers so I wanted to run a local caching dnsmasq daemon and use that in /etc/resolv.conf. At first I just did echo nameserver 127.0.0.1 > /etc/resolv.conf but then I realized that my change would eventually be overwritten by the DHCP client after a reboot or DHCP lease refresh.
What I've now done instead is to edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and uncomment the line prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;. You should be able to use the prepend directive in a very similar way.
Update: These instructions are based on Ubuntu Linux but I imagine the general concept applies on other systems as well, even other DHCP clients must have similar configuration options.
I'm approaching this problem from the other direction (wanting the internal nameservers), much of what I've learned may be of interest.
There are several options to control name resolution in the VPC management console.
VPC -> DHCP option sets -> Create dhcp option set
You can specify your own name servers there.
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/VPC_DHCP_Options.html
Be sure to attach this dhcp option set to your VPC to get it to take effect.
Alternatively (I found this out by mistake) local dns servers are not set if the following settings are disabled in VPC settings:
DnsHostnames
and
DnsSupport
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/vpc-dns.html
Settings can also be overridden locally (which you'll notice if you move instances between vpcs). /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf
The following line might be of interest:
prepend domain-name-servers
Changes, of course, take effect on dhclient start.
How do I assign a static DNS server to a private Amazon EC2 instance running Ubuntu, RHEL, or Amazon Linux?
Short Description
Default behavior for an EC2 instance associated with a virtual private cloud (VPC) is to request a DNS server address at startup using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). The VPC responds to DHCP requests with the address of an internal DNS server. The DNS server addresses returned in the DHCP response are written to the local /etc/resolv.conf file and are used for DNS name resolution requests. Any manual modifications to the resolv.conf file are overwritten when the instance is restarted.
Resolution
To configure an EC2 instance running Linux to use static DNS server entries, use a text editor such as vim to edit the file /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf and add the following line to the end of the file:
supersede domain-name-servers xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
Ubuntu - dhclient.conf - DHCP client configuration file 
The supersede statement
supersede [ option declaration ] ;
If for some option the client should always use a locally-configured value or values
rather than whatever is supplied by the server, these values can be defined in the
supersede statement.
The prepend statement
prepend [ option declaration ] ;
If for some set of options the client should use a value you supply, and then use the
values supplied by the server, if any, these values can be defined in the prepend
statement. The prepend statement can only be used for options which allow more than one
value to be given. This restriction is not enforced - if you ignore it, the behaviour
will be unpredictable.
The append statement
append [ option declaration ] ;
If for some set of options the client should first use the values supplied by the server,
if any, and then use values you supply, these values can be defined in the append
statement. The append statement can only be used for options which allow more than one
value to be given. This restriction is not enforced - if you ignore it, the behaviour
will be unpredictable.
In here someone come with solution that basically replaces the file on boot using rc.local
https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=74497
Edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to say PEERDNS=no
Create a file called /etc/resolv.backup with what you want
Add the following 2 lines to /etc/rc.local:
rm -f /etc/resolv.conf cp /etc/resolv.backup /etc/resolv.conf
This is what we are doing for our servers in the environment.
interface "eth0"
{
prepend domain-name-servers 10.x.x.x;
supersede host-name "{Hostname}";
append domain-search "domain";
supersede domain-name "DOMAIN";
}
Hope this helps.
The following worked in a Debian stretch on AWS EC2.
Just create /etc/dhcp/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/nodnsupdate:
#!/bin/sh
make_resolv_conf(){
:
}
Then you can modify /etc/resolv.conf and it will persist your changes across restarts.
Setup in crontab as
#reboot cp -r /home/.../resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf

how to know 2 lan pc is connetced with my program in php?

I have 4 PCs which are connected through the LAN. I am making a PHP program that will
differentiate each PC separately and i will keep each pc record.
But when i am getting an IP address i am getting same IP for all. I guess i should retrieve MAC address for all pcs separately, but i don't know how will i fetch MAC address.
I am using Linux OS.
Programing tips will be appreciated.
As far as I know, you cannot do this with PHP alone. However, if you have exec() rights on the server, the you might be able to use:
arp -a ipaddress
Where ipaddress is the IP address of the computer on your LAN. You would need to use something like regex to seperate the MAC address from the rest of the output.
I don't think that the mac-adress is included in the http-header. So it is probably hard to get it via php. I think you're better off trying to fix the ip-issue. Sorry I can't help you more.
Edit:
Actually... searching around a little I found a possible solution:
$mac = `ping -c 1 $ip && arp -a | grep $ip`
You probably have to parse the output though. I get:
xxx.xxx.local (192.168.0.10) at d5:c2:c3:13:a2:b1 [ether] on eth0
When doing arp -a 192.168.0.10
Edit:
Like the post under states, you would need exec-rights.
Edit:
Sorry, just realized that in order for this to work, you would need the ip... Which you don't have.
PEAR’s Net_Ping is a niffty wrapper class for executing ping calls from PHP. You can use it to check if a remote server is responding correctly. The library can be download from here.
pear install Net_Ping-2.4.4
<?php
require_once "Net/Ping.php";
$ping = Net_Ping::factory();
if(PEAR::isError($ping))
echo $ping->getMessage();
else
{
/* Number of packets to send */
$ping->setArgs(array('count' => 4));
$rawData = $ping->ping('google.com');
print_r($rawData);
}
?>
