Continuous Deployment

Part 2 of 2

In previous article, I demonstrated how to set up continuous Integration, that means how to test the code automatically and find out if it is the newest changes to code broke it or not. Now that you are automatically testing your commits, the next logical step in automation process would be to release our tested code to live website. We would want it to happen automatically, when all tests pass.

Setting up XDebug for dev environment

I would like to describe how to set up xDebug to work in your phpStorm IDE. There are different options available depending on your preference - you can have xDebug always try to initiate a connection for your devbox, or you can use browser plugins and extensions to choose when xDebug should try to run.

Speed up your website with Pagespeed mod

I’ve heard about some cool stuff that google is doing in one of software engineering podcasts. One of the tools was google pagespeed mod. It seemed to improve performance of the Apache2 webserver so I decided to give it a try.

Apache Modules

Apache modules are software components that enhance the functionality and capabilities of the Apache HTTP Server. These modules are designed to extend and customize the server’s core features, allowing administrators and developers to add additional functionalities as per their requirements.

Setup Virtual Host

Today we will be creating virtual host on Apache2 web server. As one Apache2 web server can serve multiple websites we can later add more configs and tell Apache2 web server to serve all the websites from single unix instance.
