How to create a SSL certificate on Mac for my Wordpress blog installation on localhost (OS X Yosemite)?

Fri, 20 Jan 2017 02:48:29 +0000

I created a clone of my Wordpress blog on my Mac copying the exact files and the site structure as well as the database.

The front page of the blog shows up alright, however I can't access wp-admin/ and can't access wp-login.php either. Instead I get the error:

Safari Can’t Open the Page

Safari can’t open the page “https://www.mynewawesomeblog.com/wp-login.php” because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server “www.mynewawesomeblog.com”.

Since Safari says it can't establish a secure (https) connection, I understand I need a local SSL certificate.

My question is how can I create one?

If you can verify that you are currently using Apache MyFaces 2.x which is the defualt JSF implementation of IBM WebSphere and that this exception is thrown during loading of @ViewScoped backing beans, and the following is not already present in your web.xml, add this:

<context-param>
<param-name>org.apache.myfaces.SERIALIZE_STATE_IN_SESSION</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</context-param>

Preliminarily running

solves the problem!

Answered: How can I execute a .sql file on DB2 using the command line?

Fri, 24 Jun 2016 01:23:44 +0000

I found the solution here:

http://db2commerce.com/2014/09/02/db2-basics-executing-a-script-of-sql/

A file of pure SQL should look more like:

connect to sample;
create table....;
alter table ....;
create index ....;
insert into ....;

Note the lack of the “db2″ at the beginning of each line. Note also that each line terminates in a semicolon(;). The semicolon is the delimiter in this example. Since the semicolon is the default delimiter, you could execute the above file using:

db2 -tvmf filename.sql |tee filename.sql.out

Finally, you might have a file that uses an alternate delimiter. This is required when working with certain triggers and stored procedures. In the case of an alternate delimiter, the file might look like this:

connect to sample@
create table....@
alter table ....@
create index ....@
insert into ....@

That file would be executed using:

db2 -td@ -vmf filename.sql |tee filename.sql.out

Basic Command Line Options for DB2

There are several command line options, I used above. Here is the breakdown of these options I use most frequently:

t – terminated – the statements are terminated with a delimiter. The default delimiter is the semi-colon
d – delimiter – the default delimiter is being overriden, and db2 uses the character immediately following d as the delimiter.
v – verbose – the statement will be echoed in output prior to the result of the statement. This is extremely useful when reviewing output or troubleshooting failed statements
m – prints the number of lines affected by DML
f – file – indicates that db2 should execute statements from a file, with the filename specified one space after the f.

There are plenty of other interesting command line options available in the DB2 Knowledge Center: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_10.5.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.cmd.doc/doc/r0010410.html?cp=SSEPGG_10.5.0%2F3-5-2-0-2&lang=en

Make your changes, save your edit and close

Answered: How can I enable multi-site feature in WordPress 4.5?

Sun, 15 May 2016 08:27:21 +0000

add the following after line 80 and before line 82 in wp-config.php

define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);

This way, after line 68 till the end of my wp-config it's liket he following:

/**

* For developers: WordPress debugging mode.

* Change this to true to enable the display of notices during development.

* It is strongly recommended that plugin and theme developers use WP_DEBUG

* in their development environments.

* For information on other constants that can be used for debugging,

* visit the Codex.

* @link https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress

define('WP_DEBUG', false);

define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */

if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )

define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');

/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */

require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');

After successfully editing and saving the configuariton file like above, you should see a menu item called 'Network Setup' in Tools section of your Wordpress admin screen.
