https://intelliants.com/en/bloghttps://intelliants.com/en/blog/5-mount-external-usb-hdd-centos-6-4.htmlThu, 01 Jan 1970 06:00:00 +06When you try to mount a Windows USB external HDD that has NTFS filesystem, there is an error thrown filesystem ntfs not found. So generally anyone would type “yum install ntfs” in the terminal but it seems that this does not work too. Here is an easy solution how to install ntfs-3g and mount the NTFS filesystem disk: Download and install ntfs-3g either by building the source(./configure… make… make install) or finding an rpm for your distribution from here. The following command worked fine for my CentOS 6.4 installation:yum install ntfs-3g List all installed HDDs using the following command:fdisk -l Mount the Hard Disk using the following command:mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb3 /mnt/windowsBe sure you have /mnt/windows directory created. Note that the filesystem should be mentioned as ntfs-3g and not just ntfs and choose the correct device. Hope you will find this instruction easy!https://intelliants.com/en/blog/6-subrion30-release-annoucement.htmlThu, 01 Jan 1970 06:00:00 +06Over the past six months, we have been crafting a brand-new administrator dashboard that is easier to use and makes working with Subrion CMS a more productive and enjoyable experience.

But at first let me share some background information why I decided to switch from VMware to a real server. Background Whether you are a single developer or a web development company you need a platform to develop your web based projects. The things are not that complicated when you are a single developer, as you can generally go with your own PC, no matter if it's Linux based (Ubuntu, Mint, Suse, etc.), Mac or Windows. There are several bundle tools for Windows that combine the specific software needed for the web server operation: Apache, PHP, MySQL in our case. They are: WAMP, XAMPP, OpenServer, etc. You only need some basic knowledge and few minutes to install them on PC and you can start developing PHP scripts immediately. Another way to get the web development environment ready is to use the virtual PC which gives you much more flexbility, though some extra pain also. There are several tools that allow to organize virtual machine on your PC. Historically we started to use VMware Workstation in 2005 and it was a great piece of software. We had a powerful PC at that moment and 2Gb RAM was quite enough for our local needs. Later we switched to VMware Server and in 2011 we finally switched to VMware Player that's free. There were no problems with the migrations as all three programs use the same files format. I used to give a chance to Oracle VirtualBox and I liked it much, though I actually had no reason to use it instead of VMware solutions. Anyway, I'd recommend that software if you have doubts what software to use for your virtual machine. You need to have a bit stronger knowledge background to organize a LAMP server from scratch, especially if you've never done this before. Anyhow, let's get back to the subject... I was going to convert our virtual PC to a real physical one few months ago, but I could not find enough time to take care of this + our server did its work well. Few weeks ago we got a serious problem with the HDD crash on our server and host Windows OS didn't load. I made all the needed backups from another PC by connecting server HDD and made an OS recovery. It worked well, so I gave another chance to the same configuration. Last week we had another problem but that time the recovery didn't work so I took a decision to move the development from the guest virtual machine to the real physical PC. In this case we would have much more resources for the development server, though there are few contras as well. Backups were quite easier with the virtual machine way +  we had IIS on the same server, that helped us to debug the software on IIS. I used the same server PC. I bought a new HDD for it and here comes the explanation what steps you might need to take in order to move your virtual VMware machine to a PC. Conversion I have a working PC with Ubuntu, so I installed VMware Player there and copied my server development virtual machine to Ubuntu's HDD. Brief steps: Run VMware Player Download CloneZilla - you need it to copy your data to physical PC In your VMware settings add another HDD - choose the destination HDD Set your VMware CD/DVD to run Clonezilla Live CD iso file Make your CD device bootable by default in your guest VMware machine Once you power on your VMware virtual machie you will find yourself in the clonezilla software. Here is the article that helped me to do everything correctly. Please follow the instructions step by step and I'm sure you won't face any problems. Please note that CloneZilla gives you the choice to use ATA or SCSI device - go with SCSI. My personal experiece says it only takes 2 hours to migrate 100Gb virtual machine HDD in comparison to 18 hours of ATA way migration. So now you can install your HDD on your server and boot from that device. Everything should work fine, or at least it worked fine for my CentOS 6.4 guest OS. But I got one more challenge this time. My virtual machine HDD was 100Gb and the new one is 320. 220Gb more, but the operating system does not see that significant space increase. We need to give the instructions how to identify the new unpartitioned space... Convert unpartitioned HDD space to a LVM logical volume  One of the great things about enterprise Linux distro installations, such as RedHat, SLES, etc is that most of them are defaulting to a LVM (Logical Volume Manager) filesystem which is a natural fit for Linux virtualized systems. My guest CentOS 6.4 used the same default LVM scheme: sda -> vg_intellidev -> lv_root / lv_home / lv_swap pvscan or pvdisplay commands can show you the structure of your physical volumes. So you can check your current structure. So how we convert the unpartitioned space into usable filesystem so it can be included within the LVM filesystem. Boot into the VM, su to the superuser account (typically it's root) and find the device where the unpartitioned space is: fdisk -l Since we converted from a virtual machine that only had one HDD, this is going to be the first disk expansion it should be /dev/sda device. You will see the total size of your new HDD, 320Gb in our case. So now we need to create a new partition that takes up the remaining space and uses LVM filesystem type that's equivalent to 8e. fdisk /dev/sda now use the following commands inside fdisk utility: n  - create new partition p  - make primary partition 3 - partition number, since 1st and 2nd partition already exists select default first available cylinder to the default last cylinder t - type  3 - partition number 8e - set type to LVM p - view the new partitions layout w - write out the new partitions layout to disk q - quit fdisk ​Now we need to reboot the system so the new partition is recognized by the system. reboot Our next step is to use LVM to take the newly formed partition and turn it into a new Physical Volume, add it to a Volume Group, and finally assimilate its free space into a Logical Volume. Convert /dev/sda3 partition into a Physical Volume so LVM can make use of it: pvcreate /dev/sda3 ​Now we need to add this created device to our virtual group: vgextend vg_intellidev /dev/sda3 Creating a new volume on an existing LVM group is easy. Let's create a new logical volume lv_inbox in a virtual group vg_intellidev using all free space of our virtual group: lvcreate -l 100%FREE -n lv_inbox vg_intellidev Create a ext4 filesystem on the logical lv_inbox volume so we could use it: mkfs.ext4 /dev/vg_intellidev/lv_inbox So your logical volume is ready now. You can try to mount it and check if it's usable, here comes mount command to help us: mount /dev/sda3 /mnt And the final step is to mount newly created logical volume automatically on each boot. There are several ways to do that. Here is the most simple one for me that worked as expected. You need to edit /etc/fstab file and add the following line to the file: /dev/mapper/vg_intellidev-lv_inbox /mnt/inbox ext4 defaults 1 3 Now reboot your server. Voila! Now you can use the new space added on your HDD increase after V-P migration. Hope this article can help to anyone who has the same challenge!

The core version comes in a selection of 5 different colours by default, making it easy to customize your experience right out of the box. The brand new dashboard, along with its 5 bundled colours, is extremely easy on the eyes, and even simpler to use, thanks to bold menus and logically grouped tools and features which makes managing content a breeze. This new user interface is sleek and organized, allowing you to access different areas of your Subrion admin panel with ease, whilst also displaying key content such as Twitter news and recent activity via the main dashboard. Subrion CMS 3 also brings about remote plugin installation, which scraps the need for manual downloading and uploading of plugins via FTP. Instead, a simple three-step process is all you need to worry about. Once you navigate over to the Plugins page on your admin panel, you can select the Remote Mode filter for your available plugins, and then click install. It's that easy. You can also look forward to improved fields management features for item listings. Whether the fields relate to members, auto listing, real estate listing, coupons, or anything else, you can easily extend your listings with the additional fields. Fields can be created in many different forms, including, text field, WYSIWYG, checkboxes, radios, pictures, attachments, and much more. The best part is, there is no need to make any PHP/HTML changes, as you can have complete control over your fields right from the admin panel.https://intelliants.com/en/blog/8-intelliants-via-softaculous-and-webuzo.htmlThu, 01 Jan 1970 06:00:00 +06Our friends at Softaculous have bundled both eSyndiCat & Subrion into the Virtual appliance with all its dependencies i.e Apache, MySQL, PHP, etc. It can also be run on NGINX with some additional configurations if required.

Let’s learn how to use this feature via command-line / SSH. Backing up singular accounts with cPanel via SSH Backing up a singular account is easy. Simply issue the following command to backup a cPanel account named ‘intellia’: /scripts/pkgacct intellia This particular script, ‘pkgacct‘ generates a ‘cpmove‘ .tar.gz file. This file will be stored in the home directory of your server, i.e: /home/cpmove-intellia.tar.gz Restoring an account with cPanel via SSH Restoring an account from a ‘cpmove’ or auto-generated cPanel backup file is just as easy as backing one up. To restore a ‘cpmove’ file, you will firstly need to make sure that the account is terminated: /scripts/killacct intellia Now, you can initiate a complete account restoration via the ‘restorepkg’ command: /scripts/restorepkg intellia Note: the ‘cpmove’ file will need to be moved to the /home/ directory in order to initiate the above command successfully. The latter command can be used to restore a generic auto-generated cPanel backup file (this will overwrite existing files if the account already exists and is generally not recommended) Backing up all accounts on a cPanel Server via SSH If you would like to backup all accounts on a cPanel / WHM server, simply issue the following command: /scripts/cpbackuphttps://intelliants.com/en/blog/16-black-friday-2014.htmlThu, 01 Jan 1970 06:00:00 +06Winter has arrived, and that means holiday shopping.

Besides core changes, there will be many enhancements to Premium Packages. Main part of this release are template changes. We've finally moved default core template to Bootstrap 3 and rethink the whole direction of create new templates. Despite all good stuff, there are bad news (for someone): we will not support or upgrade old templates. Maybe as a custom modification only. So if you have stable website running current Subrion version - stick to it. The template. Core default template will be minimalistic and contain only necessary blocks and styles. It is a good starting point to build your own templates. We will create new beautiful templates that will be thematic and satisfy everyones needs. Responsive and adaptive As you've noticed, our current templates not always responsive and mobile friendly. Time to change that! After moving to Bootstrap 3, our templates will be mobile-ready in first place.  With the help of a great platform - Browserstack, we can now test our templates on nearly any device and any platform. This resource will be useful for designers and front-end developers who want to build their mobile-friendly Subrion website. Features There will be many new features in templates. You can help us implement new ones! Please post feature requests on our forums.  Also don't forget to check this and this topics. https://intelliants.com/en/blog/19-subrion-4-released.htmlThu, 01 Jan 1970 06:00:00 +06More than just a new version Subrion 4 is something we've been working on for the past several months and finally we're are proud to share the results with you. Here is the list of the most significant changes. Migrating to new Bootstrap 3 Keeping two different frameworks in the system would be a strain on development and support, not to mention confusing. So we're not just deprecating the old templates framework, we're removing it entirely and will migrate some of our templates & plugins to the new framework, which is based on Bootstrap 3. This means more flexibility, mobile-friendlyness, and less loading time for your websites. Good catch, isn't it? Better performance Every new release of Subrion is faster than the last, but in this release we did something special. We removed a lot of legacy code which existed in our software since its birth. We added more and more functionality in each release to make the software more abstract, so the development could be easier and faster. Sometimes, we had to keep the obsolete functionality to have plugins compatible with the new version. This is something we sacrify in 4.0 in favor of a faster and stable code. Github development We made the major step in becoming more open to the public. Now you can see the core development progress on Github and take part in the development. We would be happy to see you joining our forces to make the software better. Fork us and contribute your stuff! There are some contribution guidelines for you though. You should also report your issues to github. Every plugin has its own repository now. Semantic versioning Sometimes Subrion versioning system is a pain to understand. So this is something we finally take care of since 4.x version. Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the: MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes, MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes. Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.

Given the wealth of innovative open source technologies available, it can be tempting to choose one and start building without much thought.  In this article, we’ve compiled a list of the various pros and cons that come with building a website using open source technology to help business owners navigate this process. Pro: Cost-Effective in the Short-Term Typically, they are no upfront costs associated with using open source software. In the context of building websites, there will often be a time investment required to understand the platform. Even in this case, free resources that are available online can significantly reduce the need to spend hours learning how to manage content.  Con: Less Cost-Effective in the Long-Term Although the upfront costs associated with open source software are non-existent, your team should still expect to spend valuable resources maintaining and updating the site. When bugs appear or when integrations fail, the burden of solving the issue will be felt internally. The time and money required to keep your site afloat can end up outweighing the initial low overhead.  Pro: Constant Improvement Most open source site platforms are supported by robust networks of experienced developers. The communities that spring up around these products tend to become hotbeds for innovation and progress. As a result, many of these software tools are well-suited for regular enhancements that can have enormous impact on the performance of your website. Con: Unreliable Support Unlike commercial or proprietary software, open source platforms cannot guarantee consistent technical support. As new updates are added to your open source software, new problems will often follow. Without adequate guidance or the right expertise, complications with the product can become more common than positive benefits. Pro: Flexibility Using open source code can provide a remarkable amount of freedom. Many proprietary or commercial site packages will include rules for strict adherence to certain guidelines. With open source technology, you are free to modify the codebase to fit your specific needs. This can be a huge benefit, especially for companies that operate in niche markets or have very particular needs for their site. Con: Security Concerns On the flip side, the lack of structure that comes with using open source software lends itself to security concerns. It is impossible to know that each developer working on this free-to-use technology has your best interests in mind. When using close software, you are in a much safer position, because only your dedicated group of developers can view and edit the code.  Evaluate Your Software Needs The reality of the situation is that open source software can work exceptionally well for some firms, and extremely poorly for others. Companies that hope to avoid the problems that come with using open source software, but don’t have the in-house capabilities to build a site, should look into staff augmentation as a potential solution. If that is the path you would like to follow, we would love to hear from you!  We distinguish ourselves from other staff augmentation firms by providing a wide range of services. To build our recognition across multiple platforms, we are currently in the process of sharing information about our services with a broader audience.
