I've been troubleshooting this for a while now and can't seem to find a solution. I have a remote LAMP server in my office and sometimes need to work from home. I use a SSHFS between my home computer and work to accomplish this.
However, I have run into an issue where when I update the local files, the changes get pushed to the server immediately as they should. I have verified that the changes are there via SSH and VIM. However, if I refresh and even force refresh the page in Chrome the changes do not appear.
I also created a local file which showed up immediately on the server and I could view in Chrome, but any subsequent changes to the file are not rendered.
Any time that I'm in the office the changes are rendered immediately as well.
Anybody have any ideas?
Apache 2.4.7
Sublime Text 3 Editor
Client SSHFS: win-sshfs 0.0.1.5
Server SSH: OpenSSH_6.6.1p1
My guess is that the modified time isn't updated correctly on the remote filesystem. I'm not so sure what would be the fix for this but this at least could be a first trail to follow?
In fact, I just did a little search around and found this bug : https://code.google.com/p/win-sshfs/issues/detail?id=99
With a possible workaround in Sublime 2, I'll let you check if there is such a setting in Sublime 3

I'm using WKHtmlToPdf to generate some docs here at work, in internal applications, for over one and half year without any problem. Some applications are coded in C++, some in AutoIt3, and today, after restarting all the computers due to external reasons (power generator would be tested), wkhtmltopdf stopped working on all machines at my company.
I can't even run it from command line. Whether I try to convert a webpage or a local HTML file, it always hangs on 10%. All our machines are Windows 8 32 bits and runs their own install (the applications aren't running under a network share).
I tried downloading wkhtmltopdf again from the website, installing it, etc, but nothing worked. I also tried adding --disable-javascript option, which also didn't work. Cleaning %TEMP% folder did not help too.
I never faced anything like this. All the machines were restarted normally, going to start menu, etc. And it does not look like a network issue, since I'm accessing internet to write this, and we are a small company, we use a standard Wi-Fi router, just like your house. Nothing was changed, no file deleted, no Windows update, no network settings... just a restart. I saw some guys facing the same problem when trying to run wkhtmltopdf from PHP, but in this case, I have this problem even by running it from DOS, as anyone would do.
wkhtmltoimage is working fine. Just wkhtmltopdf stopped working.

In my case, wkhtmltopdf was hanging on files locally stored after the progress counter had made an initial jump to the percentage corresponding to 1 page. It turned out that I had an http_proxy variable set to some unaccessible proxy server. Clearing this environment variable solved the issue.
A really simple but dragged me many days that I cannot figure out how:
I've setup synergy on my Mac as a client, using Ubuntu as the server.
But now I wanted to switch to use Mac as server and Ubuntu as client.
The question now I'm facing is that synergy settings page never show up, each time I try to open it, it just appears in less than 0.1 second, then it disappeared.
Because I've set it up already and I don't need the reconfigure the Ip addresses etc.
This is convenient.
But now I wanted to switch server/client roles, I need to reconfigure it, however the settings page of synergy never shows up to let me configure it, does anyone have the same issue?
I tried to uninstall synergy on my Mac, but when I reinstall it back, it automatically configures itself again and quickly disappears and runs in the background.
It's been a pain for me.
You can't start the Server on Yosemite, because you need to grant access to the process (Synergy) to control your computer:

doing that with Synergy should work.
I'm running XAMPP on my windows machine and experiencing a problem with Apache crashing a couple times a day. When it does, a dialog pops up and I have to manually tell windows to end the program. After I do that, XAMPP automatically starts it back up in a couple of seconds with no issues. When it crashes while I'm not home though, the server is down until I get back. So I have two questions:
Are periodic crashes something that should be expected, or is this indicative of another issue I should be trying to pinpoint?
If this is something I should just learn to deal with, is there a way to automatically restart httpd.exe when these issues occur, so I don't experience down time when I'm away from home?
You'd look into log files, especially the Apache access and error logs, to see what happened, when you are not at home. I've met some similar situation: I have a problematic PHP script hosted on my server, when someone visits the page, it leads to an Apache crash.
I'd suggest you do the investigation as follows:
Search the timestamp of recent Apache restart.
Check the Apache access log to see whether there are some scripts have been accessed.
Manually access these scripts in your browser (to see if Apache will crash again)
You'd better check the PHP error log as well.
If there is really nothing suspicious, you can try WAMP bundle alternatively, which is also a very popular PHP development environment and it is stable.
Although there aren't many cases in which one should "expect" periodic crashes, in this case you are better of reconsidering your setup. From the frontpage of the XAMPP site:
XAMPP is the most popular PHP development environment
Sure, you can use it as "production" server, but XAMPP isn't build for hosting websites, it is intended as development server, so you don't have to manually setup Apache, PHP and MySQL on you dev machine. If you actually want to run your website for the public, setup Apache/IIS, MySQL and PHP manually, those products on there own are made for running in production. Or you can consider getting some cheap shared hosting somewhere, so you don't need to setup anything.
i been using aptana and dreamweaver for some long time, but now i wanted to use zend studio, because of there latest release and it says it can help on debugging while coding on javascript/php.
Now the thing is, i keep my project in different location and testing project in different location, just for safety and some wired thing dont happen, which sometimes empty the code for no reason. anyway in other two application i can easily make remote connection and transfer the file using the arrow button or by keyboard CTRL+ALT+U . it will upload and i can just refresh the browser to check it. on zend, i dont see any remote connections and i did change the server connection, but im not sure how i can easily transfer files, like i do in other IDE. can anyone help me on this for creating a remote connection and setting up the keywords, so i can continue to do what i use to do.
i found File Synchronization plugin for eclipse, that worked out pretty well too, its just it will auto upload, rather then i will press ctrl+alt+u, which i like more better then auto. oh well, something better then nothing.
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.
