Installed banner slider in magento 2, but nothing works - magento2

After referring to the installation guides, I have installed banner slider extension using ftp, but as I run the command php bin/magento setup:upgrade it doesn't show any process, and it takes me to the root folder to enter another command.

Which extension did you install?
Please run the cache clean, upgrade, and deploy commands
I recommend you use the megplaza banner slider extension instead. This is free of cost and full documentation is available.

vscode-go, fill struct command not working

i have gopls installed, and fill struct command is working perfectly in sublime.
but not in vscode. it ask me to install other tool, which i shouldn't need to.
fill struct is listed in gopls api-json command.
also, why it ask me to run go vet instead of go install command?
solved by upgrading to latest version.
this post is old. now, probably no one has this problem.

Unable to add filesystem permission denied

Using node v 8.9.0 and this tutorial
When I try and debug my http google cloud function in dev tools:
C:_Users_Matt_AppData_Roaming_nvm_v8.9.0_node_modules_#google-cloud_functions-emulator_src_supervis
I get filesystem permission denied error, how can I debug my cloud functions:
I also got the filesystem permission denied error, and the issue was that you need to accept the premissions from chrome to be able to access that filesystem. initially I didn't see the premissions prompt, but then I found it on a different tab (which was kinda weird behavior). I guess just look for that permissions prompt, it should be right below your address bar.
I see that you are referring to a C directory, which means that you are trying this on Windows OS. I will put the steps below with documentation links on how to properly setup the configuration. Those steps worked for me well without giving me any issues, so I suggest you to follow them one by one and see if that helps you.
Run Google Cloud Functions Emulator on Windows OS:
Install and set up Google Cloud SDK for Windows. Link and documentation here
Install Node.js and npm for Windows. Tutorial here
Right click on Google Cloud SDK Shell and select Run as administrator.
Execute $ node --version you should get the version of Node.js without any additional errors
Execute $ npm --version you should get the version of npm without any additional errors
The tutorial that you are referring to is part of Google Cloud Functions Tutorial Series
First install and set up npm functions emulator by running $ npm install -g #google-cloud/functions-emulator as mentioned in Google Cloud Functions Tutorial : Setting up a Local Development Environment
Setup the project for the functions $ functions config set projectId PROJECT_ID as mentioned in Start and Stop the Emulator documentation.
Start the emulator by executing $ functions start. Same documentation as above.
Download the source code as mentioned in the documentation you are referring to. The GitHub repository is here.
Clone the project locally. $ git clone https://github.com/rominirani/googlecloudfunctions-training.git
Navigate to the folder $ cd googlecloudfunctions-training/helloworld-http
Follow the rest of the Google Cloud Functions Tutorial : Debugging Local Functions documentation.
NOTE: Whenever you run / execute / call the Cloud Function the Node.js
blank window will pop up. Keep it open as it is the executable that
executes your code.
I have tested the tutorial with the above set up that I described and it worked for me. You have to be the administrator of your account, since the Functions Emulator and the code is running locally, so you have to have all the permissions of the directories that are going to be used and execute all the software as administrator.

Magento 2 can not log into Admin after fresh install

I have successfully installed a Centos Vagrant box with Magestead (http://www.magestead.com/). This worked and I was able to log into the Admin section without any issues.
However, I am more comfortable using Ubuntu, so I created a new vagrant box using Ubuntu. I set it up as per the documentation and installed Magento without any issues. I have set up the correct file permissions etc. However, when I try and access the admin section, I receive the following error. The front pages work fine btw.
Warning: file_get_contents(/var/www/html/magento2/var/cache//mage-tags/mage---ea6_BACKEND_MAINMENU): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/magento2/lib/internal/Cm/Cache/Backend/File.php on line 614
I have tried clearing the pub/static folder, cleared the various var/ directories as suggested in other posts etc.
Thinking it might be an issues with the vagrant shared folders. I started again and this time installed Magento on a folder inside the vagrant box (not on the folder share). This was a lot quicker so I hoped that this might have been the reason. Alas, this did not solve my problem and I still receive the same error.
I have tried the composer install and the manual compressed download install but I have the same error on both.
Looking at the location of the missing file, I can confirm that the file is not there. When I look at the Centos box, this file is there. If I remove the folder on the Centos box (var/www/html/magento2/var/cache/), the file gets created as expected and works fine. This does not happen with the Ubuntu box, however some of the mage---ea6 files are created so it's doing it stuff.
Does anyone have any ideas?
So I figured it out after some testing.
It turned out to be xDebug (or the way I was installing it) that was causing the issue. I ran some tests and the admin areas worked fine with xDebug not installed.
I needed Xdebug for development reasons so I installed it using Pear and Magento installed fine with everything working correctly!

Deploying meteor app to a webserver

Does anyone know a step by step guide to deploy the own meteor app from windows to a webspace (not xxx.meteor.com).
I've found some tools like meteor.sh, but I'm a beginner and it's difficult without a guidance and without linux (needed to execute sh-files for example)
Make your project locally
Build your project locally, you could test it using meteor run or even meteor deploy xxx.meteor.com to see if its working
Bundle your app
Use meteor bundle deploy.tar.gz to make a file called deploy.tar.gz in your meteor directory containing your project
Upload your file to your server
This depends more on how your server is/what your platform is but you can use a tool to upload it for you (e.g Transmit on mac)
Install node.js & fibers on your platform if you don't have it already
This depends alot on your server platform. Have a look at http://nodejs.org/ for more detailed instructions
Extract your bundle
If on a *nix platform you could do the below in the directory where you uploaded your bundle (explanation):
tar -xzvf bundle.tar.gz
Enter the directory and install fibers
Fibers is needed for any meteor project, it helps use synchronous style code on server side javascript:
cd bundle/programs/server/node_modules
rm -r fibers
npm install fibers#1.0.1
The first line enters the directory in your bundle where fibers is installed, the second removes it, and the third reinstalls it.
Get MongoDB on another server or use a third party service like mongohq
Meteor production deployments need another mongodb. You can either install it on another server or use a third party server. It's not recommended to install it on the same server you install meteor on.
Finally check if your project is runnable
cd ../../../
node MONGO_URL=mongodb://dbuser:dbpassword#dbhost:dbport/meteor ROOT_URL=http://yourwebsite.com app.js
The first line gets you back to the bundle directory and the second runs node.js on your project with the parameters that let you connect to your mongodb database.
Install something to let it run in the background
It depends on which one you want to use, foreverjs is quite easy to use
npm install forever -g
If you get an error problem try using sudo before the npm (which lets you run as a super user).
Then you can run forever:
forever start MONGO_URL=mongodb://dbuser:dbpassword#dbhost:dbport/meteor ROOT_URL=http://yourwebsite.com app.js
And its done!
Extra notes
While its not that easy to get started from scratch this should help you get started. You still need to secure your mongodb server up if you've used your own servers.
The meteor.sh script does pretty much the same as above but very quickly if you learn to use that instead it might be faster to deploy updates
You might not have wget or a couple of commands that you might need that come up and give you Unknown command errors. Have a go at running yum or apt-get and see which one of the two you might have. You can then install the required package using one of these installer tools, i.e with yum install wget
I hope this helps you, its not that easy to deploy to a server on the first shot as a couple of things might be missing (files/packages/dependencies), you might run into other problems with permissions & stuff, but you could always ask on serverfault or here on stackoverflow on what you run into.
I recommend Meteoric.
Note, that you need to run meteoric from your development machine.
Script is self explanatory and works perfect for me.

Magento refuses to upgrade 1.4.2.0 ===> 1.5.0.1

This is my first time using Magento. I upgraded this site from 1.4.1.1 to 1.4.2.0 without issue. Now trying to go to 1.5.0.1 it just seems to refuse at every turn. I tried by entering this key into Magento Connect:
magento-core/Mage_All_Latest
And it says this:
Ignoring installed package magento-core/Mage_All_Latest
Nothing to install
I tried to upgrade via SSH and got this:
Attempting to discover channel "magento-core"...
unknown channel "magento-core" in "magento-core/Mage_All_Latest"
invalid package name/package file "magento-core/Mage_All_Latest"
Cannot initialize 'magento-core/Mage_All_Latest', invalid or missing package file
Package "magento-core/Mage_All_Latest" is not valid
install failed
In the downloader I noticed a the downloader had a version 1.5.0.0 upgrade available. I thought maybe I needed the newest downloader before I could update all the packages. I upgraded just the downloader to 1.5.0.0 which worked. Then I tried the full upgrade again and now it is mega retarded with this:
Couldn't resolve host 'magento-core'
That’s cute isn't it? So I gave it once last whirl at the ssh console and i get this bad boy:
Attempting to discover channel "magento-core"...
Attempting fallback to https instead of http on channel "magento-core"...
unknown channel "magento-core" in "magento-core/Mage_All_Latest"
invalid package name/package file "magento-core/Mage_All_Latest"
install failed
I tried a forcing it via SSH but still no love. I reverted from a backup I made so I do not have downloader 1.5.0.0 any more. Now of course I am back to square one with it telling me there is nothing to install when I try to update via MC.
When I check in MC if there are any updates available it lists these two:
Mage_All_Latest Upgrade to 1.4.2.1 (stable) Metapackage for latest Magento 1.4 release
And the Mage Downloader 1.5.0.1 but I already installed these before and it did no good so I restored my backup before the failed update.
I was trying to ask this question Magento's Forums but they are a mess right now. Their captcha fails and threads close on their own so you get little to no help. I wouldn't be surprised if they did this on purpose in concert with their 1.5.0.1 release.
Go to the root of your website and execute these commands (Where index.php is):
wget http://www.magentocommerce.com/downloads/assets/1.5.0.1/magento-1.5.0.1.tar.gz
tar -zxvf magento-1.5.0.1.tar.gz
Skip the next 4 commands if you have your magento install in a folder called Magento:
cd magento
cp -rf * /home/bitscom/public_html
cd ../
rm -rf magento
rm magento-1.5.0.1.tar.gz
For a detailed explanation see my post on the offical magento forum: here My name is Veracious on there.
If your SSH account is anything other than your apache user (i.e.: root. you will get error 500 when trying to access the site do the the permissions on the new files you just extracted. To resolve that use chown and chgrp. For a detailed explanation once again see my post:
here
I think the location for the upgrades have changed. Instead of the:
magento-core/Mage_All_Latest
use:
community/Mage_All_Latest
As what mrdon has mentioned.
I couldn't upgrade through Magento Connect either. I followed these instructions for installing magento and it worked fairly well. I changed line 3 as below to copy the folders/files over my existing ones.
wget http://www.magentocommerce.com/downloads/assets/1.5.0.1/magento-1.5.0.1.tar.gz
tar -zxvf magento-1.5.0.1.tar.gz
cp magento/* magento/.htaccess .
chmod -R o+w media var
chmod o+w app/etc
I followed the instructions from the following post to upgrade from 1.4.1.1 to 1.5.0.1:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/219720/#t301761
Then flushed the cache and reindexed everything. Everything worked.
Don't forget to change magento folder ownership to your web server user. In my case I had to run
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/magento
