I was getting error “You must specify a region” when running any aws CLI command. The fix: Using the aws command:
|
|
aws configure set region us-east-1 --profile demo |
which will automatically add the following to the file ~/.aws/config:
|
|
[profile demo] region = us-east-1 |
You many simply edit the ~/.aws/config file yourself and append the same thing:
|
|
vi ~/.aws/config [profile demo] region = us-east-1 |

Problem While running the aws cli command from a Perl async command inside apid, I go the following error:
|
|
IOError: [Errno 10] No child processes |
Solution The issue turned out to be a bug in Python2.7, so I upgraded to Python3.4, then uninstalled and re-installed the aws cli software so that it used the proper Python34 version. Procedure

Recently, I wanted to see the “origin” of the git repository I was working in. The command is: git remote -v For example:
|
|
theUser@theHost$ git remote -v origin git@localhost:/volumes/data/git/thePlugin.git (fetch) origin git@localhost:/volumes/data/git/thePlugin.git (push) |

If you are unable to update a plugin via the WP admin console, then you can do the update manually. Download the zip file to your local hard drive and extract it. Then, from the command line, do the test run first:
|
|
cd {extracted_plugin_directory} rsync -av --dry-run --delete ../{extracted_plugin_directory}/ theHost:/volumes/www/theSite/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/{extracted_plugin_directory}/ |
*Make sure to use the trailing slashes with rsync for proper operation […]

Use the ssh-keygen command on a computer to which you’ve downloaded your private key .pem file; for example: First, ensure permissions will allow ssh-keygen to work: chmod 600 /path/to/the/file/your-key-pair.pem Then generate an RSA public key: ssh-keygen -y -f /path/to/the/file/your-key-pair.pem > your-key-pair.pub
