PHP ini file

// Not recommended to pass parameter via command line to PHP script
// because when a user do: ps auxww . They can see script parameters
// Use php ini file instead https://php.net/manual/en/function.parse-ini-file.php
// Ignore this ini file when uploading to git(upload a sample.ini with new value to git)
// Or use toml for putting arrays, JSON in config file. https://github.com/healthservices-io/wolfdash/blob/master/config/config.toml.example

Cron Job

// Not Recommended: Opens cron job list for current logged in user [Not recommended, very hard to manage]

crontab -e 

// Add this line to cron job file (Run a job every 5 minutes - run by current logged in user)

*/5 * * * * /path/to/script-or-program >> log_file.txt

// Recommended : Open cron job list for root

vim /etc/crontab

// Specify a user to run the cron job can be root, user_a, user_b

*/5 * * * * <user> /path/to/script-or-program >> log_file.txt

// Check whether cron job has run or not

sudo vim /var/log/syslog

# m h dom mon dow user  command

Remove .html extension, redirect HTTP to HTTPS in .htaccess file

In .htaccess file change the following :


#example.com/page will display the contents of example.com/page.html

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f

RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1.html [L,QSA]



#301 from example.com/page.html to example.com/page

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.*\.html\ HTTP/

RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ /$1 [R=301,L]




For Godaddy add:



 Options -MultiViews

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?citycentreupcc\.ca

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.citycentreupcc.ca/$1 [R,L]
