Moving apache, mariadb and php project from a debian site to other debian site

I want to create a bash script to backup and restore the project (apache, mariadb and php) easily. I need to work at 2 debian machine with the same configuration in 2 different location. I ask to duck.ai to solve the problem. Here is the result.

Create a file myconfig.conf

# myconfig.conf
DB_NAME="your_database_name"
DB_USER="your_username"
DB_PASS="your_password"
PROJECT_ROOT="/path/to/your/php/project"  # Add this line

Create bash script mybackup.sh 

#!/bin/bash

# Load database configuration from myconfig.conf
source myconfig.conf

# Create a backup file name for the database
DB_BACKUP_FILE="${DB_NAME}_$(date +%Y-%m-%d).sql"
# Create a zip file name for the project
PROJECT_BACKUP_FILE="$(basename "$PROJECT_ROOT")_backup_$(date +%Y-%m-%d).zip"

# Function to backup the database
backup_database() {
    echo "Backing up database: $DB_NAME"
    mysqldump -u "$DB_USER" -p"$DB_PASS" "$DB_NAME" > "$DB_BACKUP_FILE"
    if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
        echo "Database backup successful: $DB_BACKUP_FILE"
    else
        echo "Database backup failed!"
        return 1
    fi
}

# Function to zip the project files
zip_project() {
    echo "Zipping project files from: $PROJECT_ROOT"
    zip -r "$PROJECT_BACKUP_FILE" "$PROJECT_ROOT"
    if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
        echo "Project backup successful: $PROJECT_BACKUP_FILE"
    else
        echo "Project backup failed!"
        return 1
    fi
}

# Function to restore the database
restore_database() {
    echo "Restoring database: $DB_NAME from $1"
    mysql -u "$DB_USER" -p"$DB_PASS" "$DB_NAME" < "$1"
    if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
        echo "Database restore successful!"
    else
        echo "Database restore failed!"
    fi
}

# Function to unzip the project files
unzip_project() {
    echo "Unzipping project files to: $PROJECT_ROOT"
    unzip -o "$1" -d "$PROJECT_ROOT"
    if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
        echo "Project restore successful!"
    else
        echo "Project restore failed!"
    fi
}

# Check command line arguments
if [ "$1" == "backup" ]; then
    backup_database
    zip_project
elif [ "$1" == "restore" ]; then
    if [ -z "$2" ] || [ -z "$3" ]; then
        echo "Please provide the SQL backup file and the project zip file to restore from."
        exit 1
    fi
    SQL_BACKUP_FILE="$2"
    PROJECT_BACKUP_FILE="$3"
    restore_database "$SQL_BACKUP_FILE"
    unzip_project "$PROJECT_BACKUP_FILE"
else
    echo "Usage: $0 {backup|restore [sql_backup_file] [project_backup_file]}"
    exit 1
fi

To backup

./mybackup.sh backup

It will create 2 files

1. zip for backup and restore web root project
2. sql for backup and restore mariadb database 

To restore

./mybackup.sh restore your_database_backup.sql your_project_backup_file.zip

 

How to fix error HY000/1045 after upgrading phpmyadmin

I used Debian 13 repository to upgrade phpmyadmin. During upgrading from previous version, configuration can not be continue and must be ignore. After phpmyadmin installed error messages come to web:

• mysqli::real_connect(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for user 'phpmyadmin'@'localhost' (using password: YES) 
• Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.

Create user pma (default) and password:

MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE USER 'pma'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'pmapass';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.003 sec)

MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON phpmyadmin.* TO 'pma'@'localhost';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.003 sec)

MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.002 sec)

Edit file /etc/phpmyadmin/config-db.php

$dbuser='pma';

Debian Bookworm: installing Apache2, MariaDB and PHP 8.2 (default)

 Installing MariaDB database

# apt-get install mariadb-client mariadb-server  

Install apache2 and PHP

# apt-get install apache2 php libapache2-mod-php php8.2-mysql

By default, PHP version for Debian Bookworm is 8.2.

To disable apache2 and mariadb start during boot (to faster your PC start, not recommended for live server)

# systemctl disable apache2
# systemctl disable mariadb

You can start and stop manualy after boot.

Install additional php 8.2 required by CodeIgniter

# apt-get install php8.2-curl php8.2-imagick php8.2-gd php8.2-intl php8.2-mbstring php8.2-memcache php8.2-memcached php8.2-redis php8.2-xml php8.2-phpdbg

Codeigniter: query builder select, insert, update and delete

Query table:
        $this->result = $this->db->get('ca_brand',$mmax, 0);
        if ($this->result) {
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
Query table with like filter:
        $this->db->like('name', $keyword); // buildin mysql escape
        $this->result = $this->db->get('ca_brand',0, $mmax);
        if ($this->result) {
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
 Insert row in table:
        // buildin mysql escape character
        $data = array('name' => $name);
        $this->db->insert('ca_brand', $data); // return true on success

        $insert_id = $this->db->insert_id(); // get id

Update row in table for spesific id
        // buildin mysql escape character
        $id = intval($id);
        $data = array ('name' => $name);
        $this->db->where('id', $id);
        //$this->db->update('ca_brand',$data, "id = "$id ); // option 1
        $this->db->update('ca_brand',$data); // // option 2
        $numaffectedrow = $this->db->affected_rows(); // to get nummber affected row
 Delete row:
        $id = intval($id);
        $this->db->where('id', $id);
        $this->db->delete('ca_brand');
        $numaffectedrow = $this->db->affected_rows(); // to get nummber affected row

Php 7.2 and Codeigniter 3.1.10

Codeigniter: check mysql connection

To check error in mysql connection, we need to change ENVIRONMENT to Production. Here is the example:
    //define('ENVIRONMENT', isset($_SERVER['CI_ENV']) ? $_SERVER['CI_ENV'] : 'development');
    //define('ENVIRONMENT', isset($_SERVER['CI_ENV']) ? $_SERVER['CI_ENV'] : 'testing');
    define('ENVIRONMENT', isset($_SERVER['CI_ENV']) ? $_SERVER['CI_ENV'] : 'production');
There are two ways to catch error in our controller:
1. Using dblib
        $this->load->dbutil();
        if ($this->dbutil->database_exists('myca')) {
            // Connection ok
        } else {
            // Connection fail
        }
2. Checking error in db
        $this->load->database();
        $errhandle = $this->db->error();
        if ($errhandle['code']==0) {
            // Connection ok
        } else {
            // Connection fail
            // to dump error code var_dump( $this->db->error());
        }
Tested on PHP 7.2 and Codigniter 3.1.10

PHP >= 5.5: password hashing

To hash password (using default algorithm bcrypt)

$mypass = "password";
$myhash = password_hash($mypass, PASSWORD_DEFAULT);

To verify password

$brutepass = "test";
password_verify ($brutepass, $myhash); // true or false

Storing password in database

"Therefore, it is recommended to store the result in a database column that can expand beyond 60 characters (255 characters would be a good choice)." Maybe varchar(255)

PHP 5: GeoIP

Install PHP GeoIP

# apt-get install geoip-bin geoip-database geoip-database-extra php5-geoip php5-geos

Updating GeoIP database from SID (choose your mirror)

# wget http://kambing.ui.ac.id/debian/pool/main/g/geoip-database/geoip-database-extra_20160912-1_all.deb

# wget http://kambing.ui.ac.id/debian/pool/main/g/geoip-database/geoip-database_20160912-1_all.deb

# dpkg -i geoip-database_20160912-1_all.deb

# dpkg -i geoip-database-extra_20160912-1_all.deb  

To convert IP to integer

$ip = ip2long('119.249.54.66');

To convert integer to IP

$hostip = long2ip($ip);

To get 3 chars country code 

echo geoip_country_code3_by_name($hostip);

To get country name 

echo geoip_country_name_by_name($hostip);

To get country code and region

echo var_dump(geoip_region_by_name($hostip))."<br>";

 Error: mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Warning:  geoip_region_by_name(): Required database not available at /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIPRegion.dat. ??? May be required subscription premium service ??? 

Reference:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.geoip.php 

PHP >5.3: DateTime

Example construct Datetime object

$datetime = new DateTime("now");
$datetime = new DateTime('2000-01-01');

Example to print Datetime

echo $datetime->format('Y-m-d\TH:i:s');

Example to add a hour

$datetime->add(new DateInterval('PT1H'));

Example to add 10 day

$datetime->add(new DateInterval('P10D'));

Note:

• P: Period
• T: Time

Comparing 2 Datetime

$datetime = new DateTime('2016-10-10');
$datetime2 = new DateTime('2016-10-9');
echo var_dump($datetime > $datetime2).' $datetime > $datetime2 <br>'; // bool(true) $datetime > $datetime2 
echo var_dump($datetime < $datetime2).' $datetime < $datetime2 <br>'; // bool(false) $datetime < $datetime2

Simple Pagination With PHP and MySQL

This is my personal note to create simple pagination using php and mysql. I used mysqli object oriented style for future php support. Version MySQL and PHP are:

• MySQL Version 5.5
• PHP Version 5.6

To create your own demo, create your database and populate it.

At folder views, create folder fft.
application
--------bodymenu.php
--------pageheader.php
------test.php
We split file views->test.php. The other supporting files we put them into folder  [root codeigniter]->application->templates.
<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
?>
<!-- banner -->
  <div data-vide-bg="<?php echo base_url(); ?>fft/video/sea">
    <div class="center-container">
      <div class="container">
        <!-- load body header -->
        <?php $this->load->view('fft/templates/bodyheader'); ?>
        <div class="logo animated wow zoomIn" data-wow-delay="900ms">
          <h1><a href="/web/joomla/index.html">Frequent <span>flyer</span><i>take me anywhere</i></a></h1>
        </div>
        <div class="start animated wow bounce" data-wow-delay="700ms">
          <a href="#about" class="hvr-bounce-to-bottom scroll">Get Started</a>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
