Mac OS loading XAMPP prompts password - osx-lion

I am using Lion 10.8.2, and in sudoers i made like this: username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD, the username is my computer user... but still now prompts password.. What to do ?

If you are talking about the Pop Up window while starting the servers then you cannot get away with it. An API(Don't know which exactly) is used to start the Apache server which requires administrator privileges. sudo in the terminal and this API call is different, editing any files won't help.
Port 80, default port of Apache is a Well-Known port which requires admin privileges as written in the link. So they must have forcefully added the API Call for starting the server.

Cannot login to keycloak admin console when running in domain cluster mode

Following the documentation guide, I have booted up a master and slave and I can see it connected via the logs:
Boot up master
$ domain.sh --host-config=host-master.xml
Boot up slave
$ domain.sh --host-config=host-slave.xml
I've also followed the steps to set up the admin user via the add-user.sh. Further research indicated that I should use the add-user-keycloak.sh script to add an initial admin user:
./add-user-keycloak.sh -u john
Press ctrl-d (Unix) or ctrl-z (Windows) to exit
Password:
Added 'john' to '../standalone/configuration/keycloak-add-user.json', restart server to load user
Reran the master and slave, but cannot login to admin console.
However, what's interesting is when I tried to boot up in standalone mode I was able to the admin console as john:
./standalone.sh
Is this a bug or am I missing something (most likely) that's not in the documentation?
Thanks in advance...
Figured it out, hope this helps somebody.
Before you start in domain cluster mode:
./domain --host-config=host-master.xml
./domain --host-config=host-slave.xml
you must first create the admin so you can log in to admin console using the --sc tag, otherwise add-user-keycloak.sh only adds the admin user for the standalone mode. To do that:
./add-user-keycloak.sh --sc ../domain/servers/server-one/configuration -u john -p password
if configuration folder does not exist, then create the directory.
The ./add-user-keycloak.sh script seems to be a little outdated. Currently (as of Keycloak 12.0.2 version) it creates keycloak-add-user.json file in ./domain/configuration/ directory - That is wrong!
The file should be in ./domain/servers/server-one/configuration.
Now you just have to move the file to that directory, restart the server and it should work properly.
I found this solution on this 2-year old email thread:

How to get MONGO_URL from command line Meteor Up deployment?

I am currently deploying to Digital Ocean using Meteor Up. If I don't specify a MONGO_URL in the mup.json, can I get the value from the command line while the website is running, i.e. I don't want to shutdown the site?
If I go to the app directory and run meteor mongo --url, I get the following error:
mongo: Meteor isn't running a local MongoDB server.
This command only works while Meteor is running your application
locally. Start your application first. (This error will also occur if
you asked Meteor to use a different MongoDB server with $MONGO_URL when
you ran your application.)
If you're trying to connect to the database of an app you deployed
with 'meteor deploy', specify your site's name with this command.
Even if I run the app from the app directory, it will only give the localhost MONGO_URL. I need the MONGO_URL for the deployed app.
I have also taken a look at a similar question as suggested by some of the answers. I disagree that it is "impossible" to get the MONGO_URL without some other program running on the server. It's not as if we are defying the laws of physics here, folks. Fundamentally, there should be a way to access it. Just because no one has yet figured it out doesn't mean it is impossible.
meteor mongo --url should return the URL.
Try opening another shell in the app directory and running that command.
Meteor Up packages your app in production mode with meteor build so that it runs via node rather than the meteor command line interface. Among other things, this means meteor foo won't work on the remote server (at least not by default). So what you're really looking for is a way to access mongo itself remotely.
I recently set up mongo on an AWS EC2 instance and listed some lessons learned here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/28846703/2669596. Some details of how you do it are going to be different on Digital Ocean, but these are the main things you have to take care of once mongo itself is installed:
Public IP/DNS Address: This is probably fine already since you can deploy to the server.
Port Security Rules: You need to make sure port 27017 is open for TCP access, at least from your IP address. MongoDB also has an http interface you can set up; if you want to use that you'll need to open 28017 as well.
/etc/mongod.conf (file location may differ depending on Linux flavor):
Uncomment port=27017 to make sure you have the default port (I don't think this is actually necessary, but it made me feel better and it's good to know where to change the default port...).
Comment out bind_ip=127.0.0.1 in order to listen to external interfaces (e.g. remote connections).
Uncomment httpinterface=true if you want to use the http interface.
You may have to restart the mongod host via sudo service mongod restart. That's a problem if you can't have downtime, but I don't know of a way around that if you change the config file.
Create User: You need to create an admin and/or user to access the database remotely.
Once you've done all of that, you should be able to access the database from your local machine (assuming you have the mongo client installed locally) by running
mongo server.url.com:27017/mup-app-name -u username -p
where server.url.com is the URL or IP address of your remote server, mup-app-name is the appName parameter from your mup.json file, username is the user you created to access the database, and you'll be prompted for that user's password after you run the command (or you could put it after -p on the same line, depending on the password).
There may also be a way to do this by setting up nginx to reverse-proxy 127.0.0.1:27017 on your remote server, but I've never done it and that's just me speculating.

Restart PostgreSQL Remotely

Can I remotely restart a PostgreSQL server throught PGAdmin ? The user I currently is the administrative privileges.
Regards,
Dino
I don't think there is such possibility. At best you can reload connected PostgreSQL server using pg_reload_conf() function:
pg_reload_conf sends a SIGHUP signal
to the server, causing configuration
files to be reloaded by all server
processes.
Command:
SELECT pg_reload_conf();
You can also install adminpack contrib module and reload server using Tools menu.
EDIT:
According to pgAdmin documentation:
If pgAdmin is running on a Windows
machine, it can control the postmaster
service if you have enough access
rights. Enter the name of the service.
In case of a remote server, it must be
prepended by the machine name (e.g.
PSE1\pgsql-8.0). pgAdmin will
automatically discover services
running on your local machine.
If pgAdmin is running on a Unix
machine, it can control processes
running on the local machine if you
have enough access rights. Enter a
full path and needed options to access
the pg_ctl program. When executing
service control functions, pgAdmin
will append status/start/stop keywords
to this. Example: sudo
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl -D
/data/pgsql
You can try use Start Service/Stop Service options (in Tools menu) to restart remote server.

capistrano insisting on password

First, my teammate is successfully deploying on almost exactly the same setup and using the exact same config as me re deploy. Therefore, cannot be a deploy configuration issue, there is nothing local or unique to any of our machines.
Second, I can successfully login via my machine using ssh user#server.com without password prompt.
However, I have tried everything to stop capistrano asking this question:
--recursive; fi"
servers: ["myserver.com"]
Password:
* [deploy:update_code] rolling back
I have tried every single password I have, and not entering a password. I don't even know what this password is for. Is it SSH? Because I don't even have a password protected key file.
I'm totally lost and I've literally been debugging this for 5 hours now without a single change in status. I'd really appreciate some help on how I can find out what the problem is.
Note, cap deploy simply works for my teammate using same config, same server. Everything, except different key file (note mine works and tested via ssh command).
Do you have to specify user#server.com to SSH to your server successfully (i.e., do you have a different username on your remote server from your local machine)?
You might just need to tell Capistrano what username it should be using to connect with by adding it to your deploy.rb:
set :user, "your-username"
You could also change the default username SSH will pick for that server by using ~/.ssh/config:
Host your.server.name
User your-username

Connect Eclipse RSE with remote Linux server using public key attained from Amazon ec2

I want a easy way to save, copy and edit files on a remote server. I'm using Eclipse as an IDE, what could be better for these tasks than RSE(Remote System Exlporer) plugin for Eclipse. The thing is that I dont know how to make a connection using a public key. I have file that I downloaded from my Amazon account, *.pem. But I don't see any forms or inputs for this, when I try to connect to my remote Linux server. It is just User-id and password. I also tried to open the public key using the system's text editor and copy everything to my password field, but it didn't worked. Pls help me
this was baking my noodle for a while too. you put the keys in a folder not in the RSE config but in the whole of eclipse
check this: http://siteadmin.gforge.inria.fr/eclipse-ssh.html
Not mentioned (at least in explicitly) is the fact that RSE (and for what I've seen, Eclipse in general) only seems to work with 1024 bit keys https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=404714
I also had issues, because my privatekey was 2048, but I added a new key to authorized hosts and then I could connect.
I added my local computer's ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to the remote /home/ec2-user/.ssh/authorized_keys.
Then just set the user to connect in RSE to ec2-user when connecting.
Someone asked for root login. It works too: update /root/.ssh/authorized_keys, and edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config to allow root login:
#PermitRootLogin forced-commands-only
PubkeyAuthentication yes
Then reload the sshd daemon: service sshd restart
