Virtual Hosts on nginx (CSC309)

When hosting our web applications, we often have one public IP address (i.e., an IP address visible to the outside world) using which we want to host multiple web apps. For example, one may wants to host three different web apps respectively for example1.com, example2.com, and example1.com/images on the same machine using a single IP address.

How can we do that? Well, the good news is Internet browsers

If you find that vagrant box list somehow does not contain a box you previously had, you can sometimes add the box back if you still have the sources for it in ~/.vagrant.d/boxes.

$ cd ~/.vagrant.d/boxes/precise64/0/virtualbox/
$ tar czf ~/precise64.box .
$ vagrant box add precise64 ~/precise64.box 
Downloading box from URL: file:/Users/ryanuber/precise64.box
Extracting box...te: 417M/s, Estimated time remaining: --:--:--)
Successfully added box 'precise64' with provider 'virtualbox'!

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

Python 2.7. Unicode Errors Simply Explained

I know I'm late with this article for about 5 years or so, but people are still using Python 2.x, so this subject is relevant I think.

Some facts first:

• Unicode is an international encoding standard for use with different languages and scripts
• In python-2.x, there are two types that deal with text.
  1. str is an 8-bit string.

2. unicode is for strings of unicode code points.
