I was asked to help out with a project that uses CakePHP. I know nothing about CakePHP.
The application was developed on a Linux platform, and I use Windows 10.
I installed and ran up the CakePHP 3.2 demo using IIS, it works.
I then started to install the project I'm supposed to help with.
I started to run into problems so I took a shortcut, I installed the bitnami WAMP environement and installed the CakePHP porect in that, it is using Version 2.8.
I have worked out a few issues, but I am not at a point where I am stumped.
When I run the application, the response emitted to the browser is simply a file name, that of the application, say, xyz.php.Nothing else and no log files or errors.
Would nayone have a suggestion as to where to start to figure this out?
The system I was working with came from a Linux machine and it makes use of Symbolic Links that do not migrate to Windows. The filenames that were emitted to the browser were the failed redirects of the Symbolic Links.
I received a list of the Symbolic Links from the originator and made Windows Symbolic Links, using, MKLINK.

I am on a windows 10 machine and trying to use the Shopify App CLI to create apps, but I am running into some errors.
First I installed ruby so I could use the gem command to install the Shopify App CLI, as explained here.
When running shopify version as explained in the above documentation, I get the following output:
bash: shopify: command not found
After googling for a bit I found a solution to this problem, by running shopify.bat version. With this command I can use the CLI.
Moving on, I tried following this tutorial to create my first Shopify App. I used shopify.bat create node to create my app, moved into the folder and ran shopify.bat serve to serve my app locally.
Now the following problem arises:
It starts promising by installing ngrok:
But after waiting for a bit, I get the following output (Sorry for the screenshot, I could not get it to look normal with inline code):
What I also notice is that it uses C:/Ruby27-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/shopify-cli-1.4.0/ as the path to the CLI, but when looking on Google, most people have /home/[USER]/.shopify-app-cli/ as the path to the CLI. This path does not exist on my machine.
So I would like to know why first of all the serving of the app won't work, because ngrok can't be found, and second why ~/home/user/.shopify-app-cli does not exist.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
I think modern Windows come with Linux now. Since the Internet runs on Linux, you might find development and following tutorials much easier if you use Linux, since all these inconveniences of Windows disappear. Unless you are already super handy with all the quirks of Windows to work around their results, it could be your ticket!
That being said, I mastered this development pattern using *nix and it remains pretty advanced to actually have a smooth workflow for both localhost and production development. Ngrok itself is painful without paying for the service and using puma-dev and puma-ngrok... I laugh when I think about how those essentials running under Windows will be for you.
I've been here before and even wrote an article on how I was able to connect Coldfusion 2018 with Mac OS X Mojave, but since the upgrade to Mac OS X 10.15 Catalina, I haven't been able to get Coldfusion to work correctly on virtual hosts (ie. http://local.mylocalsite.com).
Goal: install Apache connector for Coldfusion so that I can run my dev site from within the /Sites folder like I would any other site.
Problem: Apache is working and I can access websites from the /Sites folder using the virtual host (ie. local.mydevsite.com), but although Coldfusion is running (I can access the Coldfusion Administrator), my computer does not seem to recognize that Coldfusion is supposed to run. I don't know if this is Apache or Coldfusion's responsibility.
What I've tried: I've tried using the GUI connector, as well as trying to confirm the settings via command line. I have XAMPP installed, which I believe that DesktopServer (an application by ServerPress) is relying on, but that's probably not relevant; but what I'm getting at is that I believe XAMPP relies on Mac's default installation of Apache.
I've also tried to go into every file that is referenced in any instruction document to determine if there is anything out of place. Part of my confusion is that there are many instances of some of these files and I'm not sure which one is active. Here are some of the files I've looked into:
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apache2/conf/mod_jk.so
/private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
/private/etc/apache2/mod_jk.conf
/private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
From what I can tell, the main settings for Apache are stored in the /private/etc/apache2 folder, but I want the XAMPP version of https-vhosts.conf because that's where DesktopServer is pulling their virtual hosts from. Regardless, I don't think it matters which vhosts file is being used because Coldfusion won't run on any of the local sites from my /Sites folder that are loading correctly when I visit local.anylocaldevsite.com.
Thoughts? This is either a really dumb question because no one else is asking it, or there aren't many Mac users who also use Coldfusion. Would love assistance if anyone has a clue. Thanks!
Update: This isn't an exact answer, but the recommendation to try CommandBox was a win. I installed CommandBox and then ran the "ColdBox" application in the root of my project and the site opened up in my browser like a gem. Wonderful. Thank you! I can call that the "answer" if no one objects, but I know that it's more of a workaround than an exact fix.
I am learning to work with CouchDB and I am usually making Ajax calls in order to communicate with my database. I started getting '
Cross-Origin Request blocked
' and as the reason
Access-Control-Allow-Origin
, so I decided to work with CouchDB through HTTPS and not the standard HTTP. For that, I have followed the instructions given on Link to manual.
Problem on Linux:
I first tried to set it up on my laptop where I use Linux. But I couldn't find the Local.ini file where I was supposed to set the paths to the certificates.
After unsuccessfully trying to find a solution for it, I gave up and started from the beginning on my computer, where I use Windows.
Problem on Windows:
So I installed the newest version of CouchDB on my Windows, I have created the certificates, found the Local.ini file, did everything as it is explained in the manual. The problem was that I couldn't restart CouchDB so that the changes would take place. So, after google-ing the problem, I found a possible solution, to stop CouchDB through the Task Manager->Services-> Stop Apache CouchDB. But when I tried to Start it again I get the problem
Windows could not start the Apache CouchDB on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specification error code 3.
I would be very happy if someone could help me with my problem(s). I prefer getting a solution for the Linux problem since I work mostly on my laptop, but I will be satisfied if I get it going even on Windows.
Thanks in advance
On Linux, you can add CORS to CouchDB with this package:

We've installed cf10 on a Mac with Mavericks.
All seemed to go well. We didn't get any errors.
Apache is running fine. We've setup a virtual host, and it is serving html files fine.
Coldfusion Administrator is running fine at 127.0.0.1:8050
Yes, we did select Apache when installing CF (pointing config to /public/etc/apache2/).
But when we run a .cfm page from the virtual host on Apache, it just renders the contents of the .cfm page to the browser as text (e.g. just get's render as text).
We have read and worked through the myriad of blog posts on how to get CF10 working on Mavericks, but with no luck, and we are starting to wonder that this may not be the problem.. as neither cf10, nor apache are 'broken' as such. It just seems that apache is not passing .cfm file to cf for processing.
Can anyone suggest something we may be missing?
Many Thanks
This is because the connector is broken currently. I recently moved to mac so I encountered the same issue. This article provides a working solution. It looks like a lot but it doesn't take long if you take time to read through it.

EDIT: Sorry I should provide the source for the bug: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3653076
It might be a simple as running the web server connection utility. That's all I had to do with OSX 10.8. Brian blogged that this was all he had to do.

You just have to tell it where the /conf/ folder is now located. We both used /private/etc/apache2/, not /public/.
I'm trying to get Redmine working on Windows/IIS 7. I've found several walkthroughs online, but none of them work on my Windows Server 2008 R2 box. I got a simple app (create app, no customization) to get as far as RoR error, but Redmine itself shows a 500 error (ruby.exe exited unexpectedly). I installed sqlite since some guides mention that, though Redmine uses MySQL by default. I started with the Bitnami installer and tried to customize for IIS, RorIIS, FastCGI, lots of things that look like they should work, but this problem is killing me.
If I run ruby.exe from the command line, passing it the path to the dispath.fcgi file I get an error: "The procedure entry point SetMagickMemoryMethods could not be located in the dynamic link library CORE_RL_magick_.dll". I had to install the rmagick gem myself which seemed strange since everything worked perfectly under Apache. I really thought it would be a smooth cut-over since it's up and running already and just changing web server.
Any help is much appreciated.
I've tried a lot to install Redmine on Windows environment under IIS. There's very little (or none) documentation about it. Lost many days on this. In the end, I decided to stick to the Bitnami stack of Redmine. The only caveat is that we had to use another port (8080, in our case), that's it. I gave up the idea of integrating Redmine/RoR with IIS and never looked back. Everything is working great in production now and everyone is happy about it around here.
Sorry I can't give a better answer than that, I'm just sharing some recent experience. I was obsessed about integrating RoR/ISS until I realized it was not a real requirement, it was just something I stuck into my mind. Think about it.
