  • Come suddividere il log di WordPress in file separati tramite Apache – Otherplus Tech – Quando usiamo WordPress su un server Apache siamo quasi sempre abituati ad avere un solo file di log per gli accessi del nostro sito e alcune volte due file per dividere gli accessi normali da quelli in errore.

  • coderwall.com : establishing geek cred since 1305712800 – Setting up an EC2 instance on AWS used to be as straightforward as provisioning a machine and SSHing into it. However, this process has become a bit more complicated now that Amazon VPC has become the standard for managing machines in the cloud.
  • Set up public and private subnets using AWS VPC — Mike Melnicki’s Blog – This is a step-by-step guide on how to set up public and private subnets for running a service on an internal network within AWS.

All of this stuff can be done via the AWS web console, but I thought it would be helpful to show the specific commands and provide some commentary about what is happening on each step.

In this post we will explain how to use CloudWatch to monitor important resources it can’t monitor by default.

  • agentile/S3-Media-Storage – Store media library contents onto S3 without cron jobs. This is more ideal for multiple web server environments. Because of the logic surrounding WordPress media uploads and the availability/order in which hooks/actions surrounding media uploading, we cannot get away from temporarily storing the uploaded file in the uploads directory. What this plugin will be able to do is to take that uploaded file, move it to S3, and delete the local uploaded file all in the same request.
  • Using AWS S3 with WordPress for Media Asset Storage | Ian Massingham’s Blog – As you know I recently migrated this blog from Google’s Blogger service to a self hosted WordPress installation running on the AWS Cloud. Since then, I have been working on improving the resilience and scalability of the new platform by using a few additional AWS features. One of the things I have changed is to move media assets, such as images, from the EC2 instance that runs the WordPress application to be externally hosted on AWS S3.
