amazon web services - Setting permissions to WordPress to install plugins is preventing access through SSH -


i have read several ways solve problem of permissions in wordpress install themes , plugins wordpress administration.

as understand problem owner of folder wordpress installed must user manages web server (read postdata). in case apache , aws, www-data.

however, changing owner www-data (even changing group user), lose ssh access server. in case had ask administrator of entire server access user , restore owner , permissions of folder.

i using amazon web services ubuntu 16.0.4 lts have access main user , installation of wordpress located @ root of user, i.e. /home/myuser/

i accessing via ssh .pem key , myuser@publicdns

what can do?

thank much.

pd: wordpress in this guide says owner has ftp web server owner (i.e. myuser) , never webserver, agree.

i hate having answer own question maybe can others solve problems , fast. worked me:

before doing of should take note of permissions, owners , groups of folders & files changing here because website may fail after changing these settings. hosts have different configurations.

as long don't exit session, may able return changes have made sudo privileges.

if wordpress installation in root folder of user, eg: /home/myuser/

take note of permissions, owners , groups:

with ls command , -a -l flags can see files using long listing format. being in /home , /home/youruser/ paths.

cd /home     ls -al cd /home/youruser ls -al

copy output , save in text file.

prevent losing ssh access:

the owner of folder must user accessing with.

sudo chown youruser /home/youruser/

i have set group of folder myuser.

sudo chgrp youruser /home/youruser/

set permissions of folder 751 (i think important thing here owner has full access)

sudo chmod 751 /home/youruser/

the permissions hidden folder .ssh must 700 top folder, 600 files inside folder , owner & group must youruser

sudo chmod 700 ~/.ssh/ sudo chmod 600 ~/.ssh/* sudo chown -r youruser ~/.ssh/ sudo chgrp -r youruser ~/.ssh/

solve plugins & theme installation problems:

i'm still unsure if solution right site security. however, think can apply fix , return changes. website should run smoothly in both cases.

i have changed permissions folders , files via sftp in nautilus. if using .pem key remember add key using ssh-add path/to/your/key.pem connect server sftp://youruser@yourpublicdns

make multiple click in folders wp-content, wp-admin, wp-includes , right click -> properties (or ctrl + i), change permission tab , click in "apply permissions enclosed files" button on bottom of window, set:

files

  • owner: read , write
  • group: read only
  • others: read only

folders

  • owner: create , delete files.
  • access files.
  • access files.

this apply changes files , folders inside these 3 folders selected. depending on speed of internet , how files have, may take minutes finish.

make multiple click in remaining files , right click -> properties (or ctrl + i), change permission tab , set

  • owner: read , write
  • group: read , write
  • others: read

and last

change owner , group of wordpress installation files, i.e. files inside /home/youruser

sudo chown -r www-data wp* sudo chgrp -r www-data wp*

this make changes files start "wp" word recursively. remaining files, have made changes manually. there better ways find command changed hidden folders decided manually.

apply corresponding changes files .htaccess well.

note: test website. access it, access wordpress admin, try installing plugins , themes, open terminal (don't close 1 writing commands) , try ssh webserver. if have problems use backup , revert process.

hope helps.

Is there a better way to structure post methods in Class Based Views -

i'm using class based views in django , never specify url in ajax calls , omit action parameter in form because know these requests go through post method of class based view. notice view - profile page make many requests depending on user updating on page - post method become convoluted , if/else mess example: def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): # handle user changing available date if request.post.get('availabledate') != none: self.updateavailabledate(request) return jsonresponse({'result':'success'}) if request.post.get('newprojectname') != none: creative_user = creativeuserprofile.objects.get(id = request.user.id) project = project.create_project(creative_user, request.post['newprojectname']) project.save() return jsonresponse({'projectid': project.id }) if request.post.get('projectimage') != none , request.files['file']: proj

performance - Why is XCHG reg, reg a 3 micro-op instruction on modern Intel architectures? -

i'm doing micro-optimization on performance critical part of code , came across sequence of instructions (in at&t syntax): add %rax, %rbx mov %rdx, %rax mov %rbx, %rdx i thought had use case xchg allow me shave instruction , write: add %rbx, %rax xchg %rax, %rdx however, dimay found agner fog's instruction tables , xchg 3 micro-op instruction 2 cycle latency on sandy bridge, ivy bridge, broadwell, haswell , skylake. 3 whole micro-ops , 2 cycles of latency! 3 micro-ops throws off 4-1-1-1 cadence , 2 cycle latency makes worse original in best case since last 2 instructions in original might execute in parallel. now... cpu might breaking instruction micro-ops equivalent to: mov %rax, %tmp mov %rdx, %rax mov %tmp, %rdx where tmp anonymous internal register , suppose last 2 micro-ops run in parallel latency 2 cycles. given register renaming occurs on these micro-architectures, though, doesn't make sense me done way. why wouldn't register renamer
