I have been using RSA SSH keys forever to login to my various AWS EC2 instances. With macOS Ventura 13.3.1 ssh failed with the “Permission Denied” error. Using ssh -vvv, I saw that the RSA key was now being rejected. After much research, I decided to implement new keys on the client (Ventura) side using […]

Try a newer browser before anything else! I was using an older version of Safari on Mac and got this:
|
|
If you're seeing this Grafana has failed to load its application files 1. This could be caused by your reverse proxy settings. 2. If you host grafana under subpath make sure your grafana.ini root_url setting includes subpath. If not using a reverse proxy make sure to set serve_from_sub_path to true. 3. If you have a local dev build make sure you build frontend using: yarn start, yarn start:hot, or yarn build 4. Sometimes restarting grafana-server can help 5. Check if you are using a non-supported browser. For more information, refer to the list of supported browsers. |
I switched to the latest version of FireFox and was fine.

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

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 […]

PROBLEM Wordpress site broken with Javascript errors with zero plugins or themes installed. The issue followed different devices, OS’es and different browsers. SOLUTION User account corrupted. The wp_usermeta locale field had an invalid value of “regular”, and nulling the field solved the issue. DETAILS JS console shows this:

The Problem Tried to install the latest version of cpan and got stuck. Tracked it down to the dependency module Mac::SystemDirectory which was failing to build:

The Solution Use the MacOS installer command to deploy the needed files:
|
|
xcode-select --install sudo installer -pkg /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg -target / installer: Package name is macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14 installer: Installing at base path / installer: The install was successful. |
The, rerunning the cpan install works:
