Websockets are a cool, cutting-edge technology wrapped into HTML5. Basically, you can open a websocket to enable persistent, 2-way communication with a web server. The client (user interface) can spontaneously send messages, and the server can send messages too.
I am using WordPress media uploader to upload images and I was wondering if there is a way to make it upload to my remote server instead of my local server? Example: My wordpress blog is hosted on Server A and I want to want to use the media uploader to upload images to Server B instead of Server A.
XAMPP is NOT cross-platform. There is XAMPP for Windows, XAMPP for Linux, for Mac and for Solaris, but each pack contains different pieces of software, runs differently with different performance, etc. (cross-platform means that you take the exact same piece of software and it runs the same way on different platforms … like Azureus used to be: a jar that you could use the same way)
I setup WordPress on my own server and it’s up and running…one thing that I have noticed is that WordPress doesn’t generate any images I upload. Usually when I upload an image through WordPress it will generate a thumbnail, medium, and large sized image. WordPress installed without error and everything else is working fine. I have tried to rebuild the thumbnails, but that doesn’t work 🙁
I know there are tools like pingdom.com and uptimerobot.com that will monitor your site and let you know if they’re down, but I find that my WordPress site is experiencing the dreaded “error establishing a database connection” more often than desired, and I’d like to get some sort of notification when that happens (but not in the form of a user complaint!). Pingdom and Uptimerobot do not consider that an error, and thus do not push any notifications.
