We have a Magento 2.4.8 installation on Ubuntu 24 with Apache 2.4. The vendor directory has missing files from an incomplete Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration. This causes setup:di:compile to fail partially and the site crashes intermittently. Server details: Ubuntu 24, Apache 2.4, Magento 2.4.8 IP: Theme: Aellon/tech (child of Codazon) The specific problem: The directory /var/www/html/vendor/magento/framework/MessageQueue/ is incomplete. The Publisher/Config/CompositeReader interceptor never generates during setup:di:compile, causing this error at runtime: Class "MagentoFrameworkMessageQueuePublisherConfigCompositeReaderInterceptor" does not exist What we have already tried: composer install --no-dev — hung for 40+ minutes, was killed composer insta...
I need a lightweight, cross-platform mobile application built with Framework7 and Apache Cordova that lets staff scan Code 128 barcodes with the device camera, record those scans as raw-material movements, and instantly sync everything to a MySQL database running on (all devices sit on the same LAN). On first launch the app should present a username-and-password screen; once authenticated, users can open the scan view, point the camera, and have the barcode value, time stamp, and logged-in user written to the database through a REST endpoint. Please rely on a proven Cordova barcode-scanner plugin so no custom native code is required. Alongside the app I also need a small, web-based admin console. From any browser on the same network I should be able to • view real-time inv...

...deleted, and an alternative name must be given. Everything must work, no extra costs are allowed. The API must be generated from the bookmaker's website. The master account is tippmixPRO, the slave accounts are: 1- FezBet, 1- 20Bet, 1-tippmixPro. It can be web (for example brave) or desktop (python, sgl,php). Web similar to this . It must run from a VPS server, which currently has windows 2022, and apache running mysql. I plan with three milestones. Ask for details according to your offer. If you are a candidate, set your minimum fee to 10USD to start a project. There is no payment until it works 100%. Unfortunately, the hunger for money is greater than the knowledge. They couldn't finish it in half a year, but I have already paid out money more than I should have. YOU...
...product pages—are painfully slow. The issue is not initial server response; it is the actual content load time once the request is in motion. What I need is a focused investigation into whatever is throttling throughput, followed by concrete optimisations that leave the site obviously faster when those product pages are requested. Typical tasks will include inspecting the current web-server stack (Apache or Nginx, PHP-FPM, Node—whatever you discover is in play), checking resource usage through CloudWatch and top/htop, tightening configs, introducing or tuning caching layers, and, if warranted, suggesting a lightweight CDN or image optimisation tweak. Feel free to spin up test instances or use staging if that keeps my live traffic safe. Deliverables • Diagnos...

...followed the stock CentOS/WHM structure; no custom paths or tweaks were in place. I do have partial backups if we need to cross-check or replace individual files, but a full restore from backup alone is not possible. Here’s what I need done: • Restore the canonical /home hierarchy, mount points and symlinks so that WHM, cPanel accounts and Apache see the right folders again. • Fix ownership and permissions so each account’s public_html is readable by Apache but writable only by the account user. • Reset the root password properly and confirm clean SSH and WHM login. • Bring every hosted site back online, verifying via browser that they load without 404s or permission errors. Acceptance will be a working WHM login, SSH root access, a...
...• WHM itself was working flawlessly until this outage. • I have not changed firewall rules, packages, or network settings since the last successful login. Your task is straightforward: diagnose why the WHM web service won’t present itself and restore normal access. That may involve checking cPanel services, rebuilding certificates, inspecting CSF/IPTables rules, or even looking at LiteSpeed/Apache if a proxy is interfering. Whatever you uncover, I expect a concise summary of the root cause and the exact commands or config edits you used so I can document the fix. Acceptance criteria 1. WHM login page loads in any standard browser. 2. I can authenticate as root without timeouts. 3. You provide a brief post-mortem explaining the issue and remedy. If you&r...
I need an expert who can plan, build, and run comprehensive load tests on our web application entirely with Apache JMeter. The focus is pure load testing; the exact pattern—whether stress, spike, or long-haul soak—can be decided once you have reviewed the system and traffic goals. Acceptance criteria • Reusable JMeter scripts (.jmx) with any supporting CSV or plug-in files • A step-by-step guide on how to replay the tests from a clean machine • A concise report summarising throughput, response-time distribution, error rates and clear recommendations for tuning If you have recent experience squeezing the best out of JMeter’s thread groups, listeners, and non-GUI mode execution, I’m ready to get started right away.

Admin logins function with reset credentials you provide in a sealed document. 3. A summary report (PDF or Markdown) details the recovery process and security recommendations. The server is Linux (Ubuntu 20.04), running Apache with PHP-FPM and MySQL 8. If you prefer TestDisk, ddrescue, or other forensic tools over PhotoRec, feel free—just document what you do so I can follow later. SSH access and single-user physical access can be arranged immediately.

Troubleshoot and fix the LiteSpeed web server issue so it boots up successfully (or fix Apache/PHP-FPM as a fallback if LiteSpeed requires license synci...
...optimize every table. Once the database is lean, I want the overall loading speed tightened up. That will likely involve configuring or replacing the current caching solution (I’m open to WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, etc.), deferring or minifying CSS/JS, and compressing images without breaking quality. Feel free to suggest server-level tweaks (e.g., object caching, OPcache, NGINX/Apache tuning) if they move the needle. Because search visibility matters, please fold basic on-page SEO optimisation into the workflow—meta tags, schema markup, XML sitemaps, and any quick-win recommendations via Rank Math or Yoast. No exhaustive content rewrites are needed; it’s about making sure the technical foundation supports future growth. Deliverables • Da...

I need a lightweight Windows service that lets my Android app talk to the Apache server installed on the same machine and keeps both sides perfectly in step. The sole purpose of the bridge is data synchronization: when the phone is on the local Wi-Fi, new or modified records must travel seamlessly to a SQLite database on the PC and flow back just as reliably. Here’s the environment you’ll be dropping into: Windows 10/11, a standard Apache build, and a single SQLite file that stores everything. Language choice is up to you—Python, C#, Node.js, or anything else that installs cleanly on Windows—as long as you supply full source and an easy setup script. You don’t need to alter the Android code itself; just give me REST endpoints (or another documen...

...together with CiviCRM on my Apache web server. Nothing is currently deployed, and there is no database yet, so part of the job is to spin up a fresh MySQL database, set the proper credentials, and connect both Drupal and CiviCRM to it. The steps I expect are straightforward: • Use Composer to pull the latest stable Drupal core and the matching CiviCRM release. • Build the project inside the document root I provide and keep the vendor and core files outside the web-accessible directory as recommended. • Create and configure a MySQL database, update and accordingly, and ensure trusted_host patterns are set. • Run the install wizards (or Drush site-install) so I am left with a working Drupal front page and CiviCRM dashboard. • Verify that Apache s...

...workflow you prefer. The essentials are a clean copy of everything, correct permissions, intact MySQL tables, and a forum that boots on the new IP without throwing errors. Please plan for minimal downtime; I can put the site in maintenance mode while the final sync runs. I’m not yet sure whether the new environment needs extra tuning, so once the forum is online I’d value your quick assessment of Apache/PHP-FPM, MySQL configuration, and vBulletin cache settings.

I have an Apache 2-based web application that needs to use Google as its OAuth2 provider. I need a clean, reproducible configuration that lets users sign in with their Google account, then redirects them back to the app with the correct tokens. Here is what I’m looking for: • Guidance inside Google Cloud Console to create the project, consent screen, OAuth2 credentials, and authorised redirect URIs. • The exact Apache configuration (VirtualHost entries, required modules, environment variables, and any RewriteRule or ProxyPass directives) so a fresh server can be brought up and immediately support Google sign-in. • A short README or commented config blocks explaining where to drop client_id, client_secret, scopes, and token endpoints so I can ma...

...resolving any issues before they reach production. I expect one scheduled maintenance window every month, plus the flexibility to jump in for urgent fixes if something mission-critical breaks between cycles. Clear, concise change logs after each round of work are mandatory so I can track what was updated and why. You should already be comfortable working with CS-Cart’s architecture, PHP, MySQL, NGINX/Apache, and basic server-side tools (SSH, Git, monitoring dashboards). If you also have experience configuring caching layers and CDNs, that’s a bonus. Deliverables are considered complete when: 1.
