I am using Bolt-CMS in my project and every ten minutes Bolt logs me out from the CMS. Even if I am active and on the root account.
I know I use Bolt version 3.2.13
And that bolt runs on Silex. (with some Symfony components)
And I presume there is a config file for this.
So does anyone know where to find this config file or where I can turn the automatic logout off?
Thanks in advance!
First thing you should do is check the lifetime of your cookie (check the developer toolbar of your browser).
If this does not give a clue, then most likely there is a cron job that deletes your cookie files on the server. This question might be relevant in this scenario.

Prior to migrating from Mobile to App Services I could change node.js APIs in real time. Now changes seem to take an undetermined time to go live. I don't know if they're now being compiled or cached anywhere along the way. Ideally I would like to regain the ability to effect immediate change.
Technically, there is a file watcher that watches a subset of the files in your site - when you change one of those files, the site is meant to restart, thus making your change go live. This is configured in the web.config file which is a part of your site.
Make sure that the web.config is configured to watch the files you are interested in.
Restarting the site manually is a backup step that is effective.
I've an old Sitefinity 4.1 project that has almost 4 years of data inserted daily.
I've been asked to do some management on this and one of the steps I've to performs is to avoid a user can download a file if he's not authenticated.
Right now if I point to the file path it prompts me to download. Since the backend is quite slow , is there a way I can set this via API?
Thanks
Surely, you can achieve this using the Fluent API, more info: http://docs.sitefinity.com/for-developers-modify-permissions-of-dynamic-content-items-using-the-fluent-api. Needless to say, if you want to avoid the quite slow backend you definitely need to upgrade to latest version of the CMS.
Hope this helps!
The great thing about PHP is that if you have something like
clothes.com, clothes.com/men.php, clothes.com/women.php
Then if you only edit the men's page, only that particular "app" will be restarted.
But on rack/Sinatra I have to touch the restart.txt file to restart the ENTIRE website.
Is there a way around this problem, so that users browsing other parts of the site wont have any problems while another part of the site get edited?
(i'm using mod-passenger on Apache, not that it's important..)
This would be true in all cases anyway for editing (non-inline) views (not layouts).
Aside from that, if you're really worried about this then I'd suggest using versioned folders to hold the application code. When you do a deployment, change the proxy to point at the newer version. Those who had already made requests will remain on an instance of Apache and the application that is already running, as long as their request remains alive, and seemlessly (unless you've broken something with the code) move to the new code on the next request.
It's also a convenient way to rollback to the/a previous version quickly and easily.
Check out the sinatra reloader from sinatra contrib
We need to completly stop our application during an upgrade because we have to execute a critical mysql script.
So our application will be turned off during several minute then Cloudbees will display a basic "Application unavailable" page. We would like to change this by our own page with our logo, like we did it when we have our own apache/tomcat server. Could it be possible ?
Btw, is there a page with active sessions like we have in the Tomcat manager ?
Thanks for your help,
You can use beta-featured blue-green support to switch your application to another instance running a "maintenance" page
with latest SDK (1.3.1), run bees app:proxy:update -a acme-maintenance -al www.acme.com to reconfigure the http router for www.acme.com to the maintenance app, then let your application run the mysql upgrade script, and restore the router configuration after completion.
Warning : this feature is in beta and subject to instabilities / API changes
At the moment there isn't an easy way to do that - but there is a feature which will be out there soon to make that easy (amongst other things).
The only way currently is to have an app (another app) - which is your simple page - you then remove the domain name from your current app and add it to that app (etc) - messy, but possible.
In terms of sessions, the operations tab of the web console shows information like that, there is also the newrelic console which provides other insights.
Example:
The user login to the webpage => Click on a button
This action starts the executable "CreatePrettyPicture"
The file "prettypicture.jpg" is created on the server
When the user reloads the page the pretty picture "PrettyPicture.jpg" is shown on the page.
If I could start the application with a parameter it would be even better.
The server is a using Debian and as web server I'm using Apache. Please let me know if you need more information about the server configuration.
The possibility of several users clicking on the button at the same time is not a part of the problem.
You need to read up on CGI Scripts.
It's also possible that PHP is already available on your server, but I wouldn't recommend using it unless you're already familiar with it and know all of the security pitfalls, which from the question appears very unlikely.
You would be better of using a server side script with your apache installation to start the executable. This is probably easier with PHP (which should be easy to install if it isnt already), here are the commands. As long as you dont actually use any input with the page it should be safe enough.
