Cheat Sheet

Some quick codes for various admin tasks

Apache2

"sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log" - run inside your VM to watch the web server error logs

"sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/access.log" - watch the incoming connection requests for the webserver

"sudo service apache2 restart" - restart the webserver. Usually used if we accidentally DDOS it and it's failing to return connections

Debian

Use "sudo" at the start of a command to act as super user. "su -switch developer"

CRON Examples

Use the following command to open the crontab editor. Make sure you SSH in as developer if setting this up on the live server.
