So i just came across this problem: as i was working with a Raspberry pi, i got the following message: “Segmentation faulty tree” as i was trying to install a few packages on my raspbian jessie.
Luckily, it was a quick fix:
sudo rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin apt update && apt upgrade
So if you’re getting an error similar to this: “500 I won’t open a connection to 10.142.0.9 (only to…” if you’re trying to use FTP on a VM on Google Cloud, fear not, it’s an easy fix.
You can do this 2 ways:
1 – FTP -p remote-host
or
2 – FTP remote-host -> log in -> then type “passive” without quotes, and everything should be just fine.
Enjoy!
So there’s been a change in the way you reset the MySQL root password in MySQL 5.7 as in the “password” field got removed, so the old way of resetting the password doesn’t work anymore:
| authentication_string | text | YES | | NULL | |
So let’s go:
1 – stop the mysqld:
systemctl mysqld stop
2 – start mysqld with skip-grant so it doesn’t ask for your password:
mysqld –skip-grant-tables &
3 – change the pw:
use mysql;
update user set authentication_string=password(‘yourNewPwHere’) where user=’root’;
flush privileges;
quit
4 – stop the mysql
5 – start the mysql with the new root pw
systemctl start mysqld
Enjoy!
If you need a quick and easy fix for broken wordpress permissions - feel free to copy/paste the lines below. These will reset them to defaults.
cd /your/wordpress/folder
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; # Change directory permissions rwxr-xr-x
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; # Change file permissions rw-r--r--So if you’re having some issues with SSL connections, it’s higly likely you’re experiencing them from client version openssl 1.0.2. the fix is below and i can confirm it works on both openssl 1.0.1 and 1.0.2.

So i had the weirdest issue today:
Last night, i installed vbulletin as i want to get a forum going for our new project: Dive: Frozen in time – a puzzle-driven skydiving game in Virtual Reality, made by our brand new studio: spinningBOX VR Studios and everything was fine. Went to bed and when i try to login – i can login to the website but not to the admincp. I was pretty amazed, however one really easy fix was this:
change your cookie prefix in core/includes/config.php to rewrite the cookie key.
$config['Misc']['cookieprefix'] = 'bb'; to $config['Misc']['cookieprefix'] = 'bb1'; Problem solved. Enjoy!
So i was trying to spin up a docker app in a node.js docker container but i got the error below:

Quite a cool fix was:
root@3180cd952569:~/src# npm install –no-bin-links
Ended up working just fine. Enjoy!

Some of the stuff that i use more frequently and i still haven’t learned by heart yet, I will be putting them here, in this beautiful cheat sheet.
List all tracked files:
git ls-tree --full-tree -r --name-only HEAD
Untrack file in git:
echo "FILE_NAME" >> .gitignore git rm --cached FILE_NAME git add -u git commit -m "removing file from source control" git pull origin master git push origin master (replace master with the branch you're on)
If you want to easy install Node.js on Ubuntu or RHEL – based systems such as CentOS, I’m just gonna point you towards Nodesource. It’s the easiest thing to do since sliced bread.
However, if you’re into more heavy development and you would like an RVM-like setup, you can try NVM. You will be able to run multiple Node.js versions side by side and more granular control.
Enjoy!
So I got a new Ubuntu box and they are loading PHP 7.0 by default, which kinda breaks some apps right now. Lucky for us, I got an answer from a handy guy on AskUbuntu:
Remove the installed PHP packages (if you installed them):
sudo apt purge dpkg -l | grep php| awk '{print $2}' |tr "\n" " "
Add the PPA
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
Install your PHP Version
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php5.6
Enjoy!
