first be sure you have activated the curl-extension in your php.ini file.
After that get the cacert.pem file from curl – Extract CA Certs from Mozilla and safe it o your computer. i saved it into my php-directory. after that edit php.ini again and modify the following entry to point to the .pem.file:
[curl]
; A default value for the CURLOPT_CAINFO option. This is required to be an
; absolute path.
curl.cainfo = "C:\php\php80\cacert.pem"
git config --global user.name "User Name" git config --global user.email "user@example.com"

I have the problem on RolandRadio, that a lot of people try to modify the charts and register to vote. All users not verified by Mail are deleted after 24 hours to avoid fake users but some of them already mass-voted on titles.
So i needed to find out if there are ratings by users already non existent in the users table. I came up with this mySQL-Solution:
select *
from ratings A
Where Not exists (select 1 from users B Where A.model_id = B.id)Or without the aliasing:
select *
from ratings
WHERE NOT exists (select 1 from users Where ratings.model_id = users.id)So i select all from the table ratings and get all those entries where the model_id-column of the ratings-table is not in the id of the users-table.
This brought up 1600 ratings of already deleted users. i hate it that people are so manipulative on the charts. Now i need to do a cron-tab-command to delete ratings of deleted users every day. Also i included
if (Auth::user()->verified != 1) {
session()->flash('message', 'You must verify your email first!');
} into the rating function to avoid users not verified to rate on titles.
If you use an older Version of mySQL or MariaDB Laravel throws an error on the first migration on your database. Thats cause the defaultStringLentth needs to be set to a maximum length of 191 characters.
public function boot()
{
Schema::defaultStringLength(191);
}
}
Add this to your AppServiceProvider.php File and rerun your migration
Dont forget to add
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
composer require laravel/ui$ php artisan ui bootstrap --auth (--auth for authentification views)
$ npm install$ npm run devAs spammer start flooding my users table with fake-accounts i startet to develop a command for laravel to run in a cron job for deleting all users which didnt verified their email within the last 24 hours.
A nice how-to do a laravel console command for cron can be found at: https://tutsforweb.com/how-to-set-up-task-scheduling-cron-job-in-laravel/
This is my routine to select all users which haven’t confirmed their email and their register date is older than 24 hours.
public function handle()
{
$results = User::whereNull('email_verified_at')->get();
$results = $results
->where('created_at', '<', Carbon::now()->subDays(1)->toDateTimeString());
foreach ($results as $result)
{
$result->delete();
}
}Added the following command to the crontab by crontab -e on the webserver to execute the command:
cd /var/www/vhosts/rolandradio.net/rolandradio2020 && /opt/plesk/php/7.4/bin/php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
Everytime i start an update of the whole project it takes hours to upload all the new updated files to my web server.
To avoid a massive downtime for the user without informing them about the status and displaying any errors i just touch a file within the project:
project->storage->framework
there i add a file called “down” and the site goes into “down-mode” – atfer i finished my work i rename the file to “down-” to bring up the site agein. I configured the Error 503 page to display a nicer version of the error.
Sometimes its necessary to disable the caching in Laravel. To do so a new cache-driver “none” must be added to the cache-configuration-file in config/cache.php
'stores' => [
//...
'none' => [
'driver' => 'null',
],
],After that you have to set this cache-driver in your .env-File and you Cache is disabled
Edit .env and change the lineCACHE_DRIVER=file
toCACHE_DRIVER=none
php artisan cache:clearThrows an error if CACHE_DRIVER=none
php artisan route:clearThrows an error if CACHE_DRIVER=none
php artisan config:clear Throws an error if CACHE_DRIVER=none
php artisan view:clear First i installed XAMP 64-bit-version from https://www.apachefriends.org/de/download.html This package installs a web-server and a database-server, so the basics to do some nice online development in a local environment. As said i only installed Apache, mySQL-Server and FakeMail. No TomCat, no Mailserver, no Statistics, no Perl, cause no other packages are needed for my Laravel and mySQL-Project. If i want to test mail functionality later on i will use a real external mail server to be sure everything works as expected.
After installing XAMP i added php and mysql to the environment path of my user, so i can start php and the mysql command on every path i will be in my terminal. That is needed to run laravel artisan and other php-based commands from the shell.
To do this type “path” in your Windows search and start the system settings to add more directories to your path:
Next i installed the current 64 bit version of Node.js from https://nodejs.org/en/ without any extras, following with the Windows Version of Composer from https://getcomposer.org/download/ – First entry on this page is “Windows Installer”. Load the .exe and install Composer. Make sure Composer finds your PHP-Directory from XAMP, which should be c:\xampp\php\php.exe but may differ in your setup and depends on the directory you installed XAMP first. No options where installed with composer either.
Check in your terminal shell if composer is available with the command composer -V
Now install Laravel by typing composer global require laravel/installer on your shell in your home directory
and add %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin to your path.
you can check your path with the command “PATH” and will get some like this result:
You can add a new project by typing laravel new projectname but i prefer doing it on the IDE side, so i start up PHPSTORM and open a new Project. chose laravel/laravel as package, leave version on “default” to use latest Laravel version and just click create. Now wait some time and your first laravel project will be installed. This will take several minutes. Stay tuned. Don’ panic 🙂
After that PHPStorm asks if you want to install the npm dependencies. Yes you will. You can do it manual by typing npm install in your project directory. this also will take some time. oh, boy.
Finally check if everything is installed OK and start you laravel project by typing “php artisan serve” and check your localhost in your browser if there is a laravel page.
you also will see the favicon served to your browser in the protcol of the laravel server
Done. Happy developing 🙂
