I have a chrome extension I have made and it connects to its own database. I want to publish this extension but I don't have it connected to any server. I read a few things that made it seem like I don't need to make my own server instance in order to run and publish my extension meaning it will run on the chrome web store server. Is this true? Or do i just need to make my own server instance before publishing?

I have an R script that uses Plotly Dash to create a web page. I am running the script on a VM instance in GCP which is a Ubuntu server without GUI. When the script is executed, it says,
start 127.0.0.1:8050
My question is how to access this web page on a browser from anywhere. Since the VM doesnt have a gui/browser I cannot even test my web page..
Anyone could explain what I am missing here or any way to deploy my web page and access from anywhere?
I am unsure how your application works, but that ending line shows that the server is running on localhost and on which port is it serving. So you may want to access from an external browser with the instance's ip address: like http:// xx.xxx.xx.xx:8050 and let's see if it works. Otherwise you may need to set up a Remote Desktop Setup through Chrome to enable a GUI interface on the VM.
Also remember to make sure that traffic is allowed on that port 8050 checking /creating the firewall rules
I encountered the same problem. You need to change the IP address on which the dash server is running to the internal IP address of your gcp VM instance. It usually starts with 10.xxx.x.x. You can find this internal address in the 'IP address' tab in the VPC networks section on the google cloud console. So do this:
app.run_server(host='10.xxx.x.x', port='8050')
Open a browser and browse to http://externalip:8050. Make sure you have your firewall rules set up correctly.
You should now be able to see the dash app.
I have a web application hosted on azure apps that I publish using visual studio. It is a flask app. One of the templates is called searchresult.html. I am making changes to this file that are made when I run locally. When I run it on the server though the changes are absent.
Using the azure console I can see that the changes are present in the file that is stored on the server, but the application continues to deliver the old html.
How can I force azure to see my updated file?
Things I have tried:
Deleting the file directly on the server and re-publishing it
Committing changes to git, even though I knew that would do nothing
Testing it locally (it works)
Restarting the application
Since you said you already check the file has been changed on the Kudu, so it supposed not an issue of deployment. You could disable caching in your browser.
such as in chrome browser, navigate to F11 window and select the Disable cache blanket.
or please try to access your website via incognito model.
In addition, I crashed into similar issue with you in other web app. My previous solution is that enable always on option on the portal and restart my app, it worked.
Just for your reference.Hope it helps you.
I need to make a development version of a cakePHP app with its own db so that a developer can work on it without disturbing the current users.
I thought it would be simple, I just copied the entire director /project to /project_dev and then copied the DB "project_db" to "project_db_dev". Then I went into /project_dev/config/database.php and changed the db to "project_db_dev".
When I went to see what I had done, I saw the app was still connecting to the same db, as if I'd changed nothing. I realized that the original folder name was referenced in /app/webroot/.htaccess so do I need to find/replace all instances of that folder name?
What steps should I follow to duplicate an existing cakePHP app?
You need to setup some kind of development lifecycle.
Generally speaking the developer shouldn't be doing any development on the server. The best way to handle it is locally using a stack of some kind such as Lamp (Linux, Apache, Mysql, PHP) switch out linux with other OS's. There are multiple cloud solution to these environments to such as Koding.com
Using something like Git for version control the developer can develop locally then push the code through to the server after is being thoroughly tested locally or on a dev server or some kind.
Keeping Dev work and Live work away from each other is key.
Could do with a bit more information.
If both databases are hosted on the same server and you have permission to access them both with the same user then all you have to do is change the name of the database in your database.php
If not you will also have to update the IP and any other additional settings port etc.

I want to build a web site using my laptop in areas where I often do not have internet access - no active browser. How do I check my pages to see how things are going without a browser?
Just drag-and-drop the .html file into your favourite web-browser. It should open up with the "file:///" protocol automatically.
You should always have a local web server installed on your machine for development.
For example, Mac OSX comes with Apache pre-installed. You might have to activate it. You can also install a server language like PHP or Python. Again, OSX comes with those pre-installed, might just need activation. Google how to set up a local server on the type of OS you have.
You should try to replicate the type of server setup you will be using in production.
That will permit you to code locally and test in your browser.
You should also use some kind of versioning system like Git. So, you code on your local machine, then you can push your code to the cloud once in a while for backup. When you're ready, upload your code to the production server and try it out.
I have a static html project which contains some files I want to have access to using my cell phones or laptop's internet browser.
The concept is I have a folder in my pc which contains the files.
I would hit my computer's IP through the web browser of my laptop
(like http://192.168.1.5/myProject/index.html)
and then a server (like apache httpd works for redirecting to servers) would return me the wanted file.
NOTES:
-It should be EASY and FAST to install and Configure.
Any suggestions? Most acceptable answers are for Windows and then I accept for mac!
Have you tried xampp for an apache server? There is a portable app version as well.
Also iisexpress is a nice standalone version of IIS that runs under current user profile. Not sure if there are any limitations w the bindings tho.
