API Keys

You can get your keys here https://dashboard.paytm.com/next/apikeys

API keys are unique credentials issued to every merchant. While MID is used as an identification used for all exchange correspondence, merchant key is used to encrypt every API request to Paytm and decrypt every response from Paytm. Ensure that you keep the merchant key on server side and should not be shared with anyone. In case API keys are compromised, please reach out to our helpdesk to get new API keys.

  • MID (Merchant ID) – Unique identifier issued to every merchant.
  • Merchant Key – This is a unique secret key used for secure encryption of every request. This needs to be kept on server side and should never be shared with anyone.
  • Industry Type ID – This is part of bank and paymode configuration done wrt to an account.
  • Website – This parameter is used to support multiple callback URLs to post the transaction response. Each URL needs to be mapped to a website parameter.

Test API Details are something like this:

  • Test Merchant ID WArHEFXXXXXXXXXXXXXX <–wont work
  • Test Account Secret Key XXXXXXXXOcv1u7P2 <- wont work

How to use .htaccess to run all .html files as .php by using PHP handlers in Apache w/o CGI?

If you are not able to find the correct Handler, Simply create a .php file with the following contents:

<?php echo $_SERVER['REDIRECT_HANDLER']; ?>

and run/open this file in browser.

application httpd handler
example application handler

Use this output in .htaccess file

Create a .htaccess file at the root of your website(usually a folder named public_html or htdocs on linux servers) and add this line:

AddType [[THE OUTPUT FROM ABOVE FILE]] .html .htm

Example

AddType application/x-httpd-php70 .html .htm
AddType application/x-httpd-php72 .html .htm
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm

If your are running PHP as CGI then try something like this:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html .htm

Important Note:

If you see blank page or Notice: Undefined index: REDIRECT_HANDLER

Try default in .htaccess

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html

If you are godaddy user, try one of these settings:

Options +ExecCGI
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html
AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php .html
AddHandler x-httpd-php7 .php .html
AddHandler x-httpd-php5-cgi .html
AddHandler x-httpd-php7-cgi .html

How to setup / enable Directory index listing?

When a web browser is pointed to a directory on your website which does not have an index.html file in it, the files in that directory can be listed on a web page.

Directory Lister is a simple PHP script that lists the contents of any web-accessible directory and allows navigating therewithin. Simply upload Directory Lister to any directory and get immediate access to all files and sub-directories under that directory. Directory Lister is written in PHP and distributed under the MIT License.

http://www.directorylister.com

Directory Lister requires PHP 5.3+ to work properly. For more information on PHP, please visit http://www.php.net.

steps to set up directory listing:

  1. Open “public_html” and Upload “index.php” and “resources” folder.
  2. Now go to “resources” directory and rename “default.config.php” to “config.php”.
  3. Also, upload additional files to the same directory as index.php.
  4. All Done!!!

Enable / Disable directory index listing.

enable:

To have the web server produce a list of files for directories, use the below line in your .htaccess  (can be found in FTP -> public_html folder): 

Options +Indexes

disable:

To have an error (403 – Forbidden) returned instead, use this line: 

Options -Indexes

When enabled you can visit your website to see Directory listing.

Creating a table in PhpMyAdmin Xampp server.

Hello People.

In this post we will discuss that how you can create a table in phpmyadmin xampp server for your php project.

Before creating a table first you must create a database, because without database you can not create a table.

steps to create a table in phpmyadmin.

  • Start your Xampp server and open the following link in your browser.
    localhost/phpmyadmin . Now click on the New button.
  • Give name to your database and hit create button. As shown in the image below.

Our database has been created and now we can start creating the table.

  • Click on the database that you just created in the previous step. Then give name to your table and specify the number of columns under the structure menu.
  • Next you just need to fill your table with the details of your project.

You can also create table using MySql query. For that go to the SQL menu and and write your query. If your query is correct the table will be created. An example is shared below.

CREATE TABLE persons (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
    LastName varchar(255) NOT NULL,
    FirstName varchar(255),
    Address varchar(255),
    phone varchar(70) NOT NULL UNIQUE
);

So, that’s all for now.

Thank You.

5 ways to redirect your Web page?

Hi Everyone!

In this post we will be learning about redirects. And see how you can redirect your web-page.

We will see two ways to redirect web-pages:

  • Through your registrars’ Cpanel.
  • Right into your code.

Through cPanel redirect feature

You can easily redirect your visitors from one page to another with the help of the Redirects feature. 

To setup a redirection, access your website’s Control Panel and locate the Redirects menu.

In the Create a Redirect section. You can set up a redirection from one page of your website to another. This also works for subdomains or completely different websites.

If you choose to use HTTPS, make sure the redirected page has a certificate first, because redirecting to a website without an SSL certificate but using the HTTPS protocol for it, will most likely land your visitor to an error page

Now let’s see how you can set redirection by including few lines in your code.

HTML redirects:

The simplest way to redirect to another URL is with the Meta Refresh tag. We can place this meta tag inside the <head> at the top of any HTML page like this:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL='http://new-website.com'" />

JavaScript redirects

Redirecting to another URL with JavaScript is pretty easy, simply change the locationproperty on the window object:

// Use any of the following lines below.

window.location = "http://new-website.com";
window.location.href = "http://new-website.com";
window.location.assign("http://new-website.com");
window.location.replace("http://new-website.com");

Apache redirects

The most common method of redirecting a web page is through adding specific rules to a .htaccess file on an Apache web server.

Redirect 301 / http://www.new-website.com

PHP redirects

With PHP we can use the header function, which is quite straightforward:

<?php
  header('Location: http://www.new-website.com/', true, 301); // Permanent redirection.
// OR
  #header('Location: http://www.new-website.com/', true, 307); // Temporary redirection.
  exit();
?>

This is it for this post. Now the comment section is all yours.

Thank You.

Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension, required by WordPress

The error message “Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress” can appear when you are using a PHP version which is incompatible with your scripts version. Meaning your WordPress installation is most likely outdated.

Since the ‘MySQL’ extension is no longer supported from PHP 7.0 and beyond, changing your PHP version to 5.6 or lower will fix the issue. This can be done via your website’s control panel’s PHP Configuration section.

So, let’s do it first and then we will see some probable causes of this error.

Steps:

Step 1- Login to your Cpanel.


Step 2- Find PHP PEAR Packages and click on it. and then click on show available modules.

Step 3- Find MYSQL and install the 3 extensions shown in the image above.

Step 4- Now Go to select PHP version.

Step 5- Now find MySQL (Use Ctrl + F), select it and save it.

That’s it. The problem is fixed. Let’s get to some probable causes of this error.

Probable causes of this error.

1. PHP’s MySQL extension not installed.

The quickest way to check if your PHP has MySQL support is to put the following code into a file called info.php in your site and access it from a browser. 

<?
phpinfo();
?>

A MySQL section like this will be shown.
If it’s not shown there, then you don’t have the PHP’s MySQL extension installed.

In Ubuntu servers and RedHat compatible servers, use the following commands respectivly:

# apt-get install php5-mysqlnd

# yum install php-mysql

2. Check if PHP’s MySQL extension directory is misconfigured.

Another cause of the ‘Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress’. could be that the PHP extension directory is not configured properly.

In order to fix this, locate which PHP.ini file is being loaded and ensure that the appropriate “extension_dir” value is being used. So let’s open up the info.php file we created in Step 1 via our web browser.

Look for the line called “Loaded Configuration File”. The file path noted there is the actual location to the PHP configuration file.

Now, look for the entry called “extension_dir“. It should either be commented, or it should have the correct path to PHP extensions. It should never be left blank.

If you are not sure, just comment the line, and restart the web server.

Simply updating PHP and WordPress might also solve the problem.

In case you are running PHP 5, run the following commands:

apt-get update
apt-get install php-mysql

Restart the appropriate service for the changes to take effect.

This may have solved your problem. Feel free to comment below.

Thank You.

Fix Error Too Many Redirects on WordPress Admin page or Blog

There are several cases for the cause and multiple solutions also:

1 Add these 2 lines in wp-config.php file 

if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'], 'https') !== false)
$_SERVER['HTTPS']='on';

2 Edit these settings in database directly using PhpMyAdmin in table options or wp_options in option_id, option_name (1,siteurl) and (2,home)

wp_options table

3 You can do the same by Editing wp-config.php and adding these 2 lines

define('WP_HOME','https://example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','https://example.com');

4 Fix your .htaccess file with default one
