List of (digital) innovation (Tech) hubs in America, Asia and Australia, Africa and Europe

linoman-zz — Fri, 07 Mar 2025 16:27:01 +0000

need a comprehensive List of (digital) innovation (Tech) hubs in America, Asia and Australia, Africa and Europe...

background: is there a list of digital innovation hubs - similar to this catalogue here: https://european-digital-innovation-hubs.ec.europa.eu/edih-catalogue

note: As defined by the European Commission, Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs) can help ensure that every company, small or large, high-tech or not, can take advantage of digital opportunities.

the above mentioned hubs in the catalogue - they are called somewhat: "DIHs" and in some way they could be understood as - hmm one-stop shops in a certain region, that help companies become more competitive with regard to their business/production processes,

What i am looking for - is a list that shows more of such hubs - in other regions of the world - such as America, south america, Asia, Australia and Africa..

preparing the usb-stick for file-transfer

linoman-zz — Mon, 17 Feb 2025 08:25:21 +0000

command-line: very funny - the copy process is without any (!) effect - zero results copied!?

i run this command - to copy data from my notebook to a usb-stick

the command

`sudo rsync -av --progress /home/ubuntu/Dokumente /media/ubuntu/sdb/

see a part of the copied data

`Dokumente/new_literatur/theologie/petra_jeckel_schöpfungspoetik_/mirjamjekel_0408.jpg

total size is 4.688.989.106 speedup is 1,00`

well believe me - i have no (!) results on the USB-Stick!!!!

why is this so?

i did some checks: see this Output here
ubuntu@T420s:~$ ls -al /media/ubuntu/ insgesamt 24 drwxr-x---+ 6 root root 4096 Feb 16 18:18 . drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Feb 8 23:53 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 14 21:02 C449-8570 drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Feb 15 11:59 C449-8571 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Feb 15 18:27 ed5dd6d0-c358-4a93-a4d4-67d3aa31fed1 drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Feb 15 21:02 sdb ubuntu@T420s:~$

well this is interesting - how to proceed now - how to prepare the stick to get ready for the data saving process

well to be frank - i did a lot of errors - while i thought that this is enough

sudo rsync -av --progress /home/ubuntu/Dokumente /media/ubuntu/sdb/

well i guess that i have to create a partition on the drive?

and i will have to create a filesystem on the partition?

i look forward to har from you

Auto update for the Wordpress

linoman-zz — Tue, 04 Feb 2025 16:45:07 +0000

Well : I am using WordPress on my server which only uses SFTP using an SSH key.

I did some more research and got aware that: WordPress will only prompts me for the FTP connection information, while trying to install plugins or a WordPress update. well i wonder why: it seems that it cannot write to /wp-content directly. At least it seems to be the point. I guess that this is the cause of the issue. Otherwise i guess that the web server would have write access to the necessary files, it will take care of the updates and installation automatically. This method does not require me to have FTP/SFTP or (even more) SSH access, but it does require me to have specific file permissions set up on your webserver.

the question is: how to do that: how to tell the Web-Server this - and how to set the specific file permissions set up on the webserver?

Which mehthods can be used here!?

in other words: how does the configuration file looks - if i add all the necessary directives to the file?

Look forward to any and all help.

cheers

update: i did some further research:

well i think its pretty obvious that WordPress asks for FTP credentials when it can't directly write to files. i guess that there are some things necessry in order to enable updates via the WordPress admin dashboard without FTP credentials:

i think that we need to ensure that the web server has the correct permissions to write to the necessary directories.

and i think that there some methods exist that help to fix this Issue:

1. i need to correct File Permissions
set the correct ownership and permissions for the WordPress files.

A. Set Ownership Correctly

WordPress should be owned by the same user our web server (usually www-data for Apache/Nginx on Ubuntu/Debian, or apache on CentOS).

sh
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/wordpress

Adjust the path (/var/www/html/wordpress) to your actual WordPress installation.

B. Set Correct Permissions

Directories should be 755 (read, write, execute for owner; read and execute for others).
Files should be 644 (read and write for owner, read-only for others).

sh find /var/www/html/wordpress -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; find /var/www/html/wordpress -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

This ensures that WordPress can write to wp-content without needing FTP.

2. Force Direct File System Method

If permissions alone don't solve it, you can explicitly tell WordPress to use the direct file system method. Add this to your wp-config.php:

define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');

Place it above the /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ line.

3. Disable Security Restrictions (Only If Necessary)

Some security settings (e.g., open_basedir) in php.ini may block file writes. Check your PHP configuration:

php -i | grep open_basedir

If open_basedir is set, consider disabling it for WordPress.

4. Ensure Apache/Nginx Has Write Access

If you're running Apache or Nginx, make sure their process user (e.g., www-data or apache) has write permissions. You can check the user with:

ps aux | grep apache
ps aux | grep nginx

If the ownership does not match, adjust it as described in step 1.

Final Check

Once you've done the above, try updating WordPress or installing a plugin. If it still asks for FTP, restart the web server:


sh
sudo systemctl restart apache2  # for Apache
sudo systemctl restart nginx    # for Nginx
