Normally, if you create a folder on your site, you can access all the files inside it just by visiting the file’s URL. Sometimes however, you want to password protect directories in cPanel – either you’re testing a new design that you’re not ready to show the world, or it’s a staging area for your site.

Laravel is a popular, open-source PHP web application framework. It has an expressive, elegant syntax and provides tools needed for large, robust applications. Deployer is a modular open-source PHP deployment tool packed with time-saving features and optimizations. It supports deployment of many popular frameworks, including Laravel, Symfony, Zend Framework and CodeIgniter. In this tutorial, we will show you how to deploy a Laravel application with Deployer on Ubuntu 16.04.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to create and delete a user on Debian 9. In the initial server setup, there is only one user account created and that is “root” user account. This root user has the highest privileges and has access to all files and commands on the system. But having too many privileges and running as root user is not always recommended and if you are not careful enough it can have destructive consequences for your system.
That’s why it is recommended to create additional users with limited privileges for your most common tasks. A new user account should also be created for any other user that will be using your server. Additionally, we will also show you how to give those users root privileges when necessary through the sudo command.
In this tutorial, we are going to discuss the process of installing Java on Debian 9. Java is a general-purpose programming language developed by Sun Microsystems before being bought by Oracle, who maintain and develop Java to this day. Distinguished as a fast, secure, and reliable language available on all platforms, Java can be established on anything from laptops to game consoles, to computers and cell phones. Since Java code is compiled as bytecode before being executed in a Java Virtual Machine (also known as a JVM), this allows Java programs to be run on any computer architecture with no compatibility barriers.
Today we are going to show you some common firewall rules and commands in iptables. Iptables is a useful command line utility for configuring Linux kernel firewall.

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install and configure the ELK Stack on CentOS 7. Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana are the three open-source products which are part of the collection called ELK stack. It is a robust solution for search, analyzes, and visualization of data. As we already know Elasticsearch is distributed RESTful search and analytics NoSQL engine based on Lucene, the light-weight data processing pipeline or Logstash is used for managing events and logs from many different sources and Kibana which is a web application is used for data visualization that works on top of Elsticsearch. This tutorial on installing ELK Stack on CentOS 7, should be good for any other Linux VPS systems, but originally it was intended or in other words written and tested for a CentOS-based virtual private server. The task of installing ELK Stack on CentOS 7 should be easy, you just need to follow the steps which are given below and the job will be done in less than ten minutes. Let’s get started.
