Laravel Migration Rollback fails

By Shyam Achuthan in Open Source, Personal, Technology July 14, 2016

Most of the laravel beginners face issues with migration, mostly the migration works but the rollback fails.
Here are a curated list of possibilities and work arounds for the same.

You have changed table structure manually after migration – You are never expected to do this – All changes to the db structure be only through migrations.
You have changed the migration filename or classname after migration
Autoload failure [Class Not found ]. Normally after creating a migration the migrate works but on rollback it will be depending on the composer autoloader which fails to load the class, so just by refreshing the autoload file you will be able to get hold of the stuff. just go to the root folder and run “composer dumpautoload” you’re good to go then!

If you have any problem with migrations feel free to ask in the below comment section.

How to stop WordPress asking for ftp details when installing or updating a theme/plugin

By Shyam Achuthan in Open Source, Technology, Wordpress October 12, 2014 0 Comment

Is wordpress asking for ftp credentials, wordpress asking for FTP username and Password when you try to install a plugin or a theme?

Why it happens?

WordPress does not have the necessary permissions to modify the filesystem directly, as its owned by the ftp user or the root user which created the files inside the wordpress directory, Thats why wordpress is asking for the FTP credentials so that it can try to do what it needs to via FTP.

Whats the Solution?

$ ps aux

wordpress asking for ftp credentials

identify the user by which apache / httpd runs in latest version of apache2 the user will be www-data in some it will be other user ( do replace www-data in the below command with corresponding username, also if you are using any other directory for the wordpress installation replace /var/www with that also as well )

$ sudo chown -R /var/www www-data

And you are done. Now wordpress wont be asking for ftp details while installing or updating themes and plugins or for the core wordpress update. It will do all it itsown 🙂
