Thats it!
I had some of my blogs on dreamhost for 7 years.
Moved some to online.net last year to a one-core server.
Three months ago moved them to a eight-core server.
PHP since then has never hanged-up!
Weird 404 and .htaccess not working properly – cpanel
Took a HUGE time to figure out why my .htaccess rules weren’t working on a CPanel environment.
Like I said on the previous post, CPanel requires the right file permissions on folders and files.
[Tue Jan 06 12:19:40 2015] [crit] [client 84.XX.XX.XXX] (13)Permission denied: /home/asiandee/subdomains/www.domain.com/folder/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable
folder has to be with 755
and .htaccess has to be with 644

PHP – 500 internal server error – cPanel
I’v been struggling for hours to solve a weird problem with PHP in a cPanel environment.
This is how my log (/usr/local/apache/logs/error_log) looks like
[Tue Dec 30 21:13:09 2014] [error] [client 88.94.5.xxx] SoftException in Application.cpp:601: Directory "/home/dee/subdomains/www2.domain.com/members" is writeable by group [Tue Dec 30 21:13:09 2014] [error] [client 88.94.5.XXX] Premature end of script headers: index.php [Tue Dec 30 21:13:09 2014] [error] [client 88.94.5.XXX] File does not exist: /home/dee/subdomains/www2.domain.com/500.shtml
I thought that was some bad configuration on .htaccess … but that was wrong!
On some environments we need to have the right file/directory permissions so it work…
- files: 644
- directories: 755
Install FFMPEG on Centos / CPanel FFmpeg Static Builds
Download the latest FFmpeg Static Builds from http://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/.
How to know if we need to download the 32 or 64 bits?
Lets run:
cat /etc/*release*
CentOS release 6.6 (Final) LSB_VERSION=base-4.0-amd64:base-4.0-noarch:core-4.0-amd64:core-4.0-noarch:graphics-4.0-amd64:graphics-4.0-noarch:printing-4.0-amd64:printing-4.0-noarch
Or using uname (more reliable)
uname -m
I’v download it do a specific folder
wget http://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/builds/ffmpeg-git-64bit-static.tar.xzAnd the run the following command to uncompress it:
tar xf ffmpeg-git-64bit-static.tar.xzTo run ffmpeg or ffprobe we need to give the full path to them!
It worked!
With the lastest versions!
FFMPEG & FFPROBE
ROCK!
SOME PROBLEMS ON OLD MACHINES
-bash-3.2$ tar -xf ffmpeg-git-64bit-static.tar.xz tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers tar: Read 5668 bytes from ffmpeg-git-64bit-static.tar.xz tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
tar version (fuckz!)
tar (GNU tar) 1.15.1
Well, this machine, where I got this error, is a managed server…
I didn’t bored to ask support to upgrade TAR or install XZ… but if you want, you can install XZ and then…
xz -d archive.tar.xz tar xvf archive.tar
It might work! 🙂
Btw! On old machines kernel might not be compatible…

Data center fabric, the next-generation Facebook data center network and “How we scaled Instagram”, by Mike Krieger
Introducing data center fabric, the next-generation Facebook data center network
The more than 1.35 billion people who use Facebook on an ongoing basis rely on a seamless, “always on” site performance. On the back end, we have many advanced sub-systems and infrastructures in place that make such a real-time experience possible, and our scalable, high-performance network is one of them.
Facebook’s production network by itself is a large distributed system with specialized tiers and technologies for different tasks: edge, backbone, and data centers. In this post, we will focus on the latest developments in our data center networking and unveil the next-generation architecture that we have successfully deployed in our new Altoona facility: data center fabric.
“How we scaled Instagram”, by Mike Krieger (video)
Mike Krieger, co-founder of Instagram, talks about their tech setup, how they scaled from one server in LA, to AWS and ultimately Facebook’s own infrastructure.
