TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The TCP part allows establishing connection between two endpoints and dictates how data is sent and received. It also ensures reliable and in-order delivery of packets. The IP part only deals with packets.

Cum sa rezolvi eroarea NGINX start failed CentOS 7 – nginx: [emerg] open() “path” failed (13: Permission denied)

In ceea ce priveste administrarea serverelor web, pot aparea multe surprize neplacute. Mai ales atunci cand se trece de la o versiune mai veche mai veche a unui sistem de operare, la alta mai noua. Valabil atat pentru Ubuntu cat si pentru CentOS.

De la CentOS 5, la CentOS 7 s-au schimbat foarte multe lucruri in bine. Accentul s-a pus foarte mult pe securitate si stabilitate. Pentru un linux novice, sau pentru un utilizator care nu este la curent cu ce apare nou in materie de servere si siervicii specifice administrarii de web hosting, mici noutati pot da batai de cap. Una dintre cele mai frecvente erori intalnite la instalarea LEMP (Linux, NGINX, MySQL, PHP) tine de securitate si de permisiunile serviciilor instalate pe sistemul de operare CentOS 7.

Imposibilitatea de a porni serviciul NGINX chiar daca totul pare configurat bine din punct de vedere al PHP-FPM si NGINX.

restart nginx
Job for nginx.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status nginx.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

In status avem urmatoarele detalii, dar care nu ne ajuta foarte mult.

Cum putem sa aflam daca un Mac (iMac, MacBook) mai este in perioada de garantie si suport AppleCare

Preturile pentru un Mac cumparat nou, nu sunt deloc de neglijat. Pe site-uri de vanzari second hand sunt multe oferte la preturi atractive, insa inainte sa cumparati de acolo, este bine sa stiti daca produsul se mai afla sau nu in perioada de garantie. Sunt multe oferte care au titlul “MacBook Pro NOU, in cutie!“, insa asta nu inseamna ca acel produs mai este in perioada de garantie.
Garantie service care de altfel este foarte importanta daca intampinati probleme cu produsul. Pe cat de scump este un Mac nou, pe atat de scump este si reparatia lui intr-un service autorizat Apple. Nici nu v-am recomanda sa incercati repararea lui in alta parte.
