In my earlier post I explained how to install WordPress on CentOS. It’s all good until you get the first update notification for WordPress itself: But if you click on that Update Now button, guess what happens: Of course, you want FTP credentials, what else?

Redmine 4 was released more than 2 months ago, but many themes, even premium, paid ones, still don’t play nicely with it.

Following up on my previous hurdles, here’s what happened after upgrading to CentOS 7.6. We use PostgreSQL primarily, but also some MSSQL and MySQL. With 7.6, Red Hat quietly decided it’s no longer a sane default to let Tomcat connect to databases. Because, webapps normally don’t use databases, right? Anyway, let’s write a proper policy […]
