Configure PHP to publish error’s detail on remote client

Published on Friday, March 23rd, 2012 by Maurizio Mutti

The problem

As default, after installing php as FastCGI on IIS 7, all exceptions raised into php code will be visible to the visitors of the web site as Http error 500 (internal error).
This behaviour is correct on a public web server, but on a test server we need the errors details.
On a debug server, we need to test the code and to know were and which error occour.

Run DeltaCopy over ssl, via Task Scheduler even if no user is logged on

Published on Friday, March 23rd, 2012 by Maurizio Mutti

The problem

If you want to use DeltaCopy over SSL and run it as a scheduled task, it will work perfectly when a user is logged into windows.
So if you try to run the scheduled task from the scheduled task manager, it will work!But when it will run as scheduled and no user is logged in, the DeltaCopy executable will run but nothing will be copied.
The following precess will be visible in the task manager: DeltaC.exe, ssh.exe, and rsync.exe.
To add you server to the known host list, simply test manually the connection:
ssh ServerIP -l Username -i SSHKEYS -p 22

But when traffic goes throught the internet, we need some more secutity, encrypting the data sent on the net.
The simpliest way to do this is to use rsync over SSH Tunneling, in this way the traffic from rsync client to the server is fully encrypted.

The problem

If you configure a VPN for Fritz!Box as described on the AVM website, and you try to connect to it using a mobile internet connection (at least using Swisscom as provider) it does not work.

If you have many account this can be really boring.
