WatchGuard XTM Series Experience

By Wasay
I love the full stake experience, it is totally different then just the web programing experience, and as I learn small bits and pieces of additional information in the entire life cycle of web programing, it seems I can now understand when it's time to out source versus managing in-house.

At work we have used JW Player for embed video, Uvault for streaming of those videos, Rackspace for dedicated servers for application and database hosting, and only thing at this point is in house is Cygwin (Linux Complier on Windows) and Phpstorm IDE.

Recently I worked with a colleague to setup the WatchGuard XTM 300 Series, after the previous firewall box crashed. The updated version of web console is smooth. What I enjoyed most was setting up "1-1 Nat" from external IP to internal IP, and also setting up Alias for servers and opening up select ports. I still have to recreate VPN access, for select users but from my previous experience, it's not that complicated to set it up on WatchGuard.

In the last two years​ working with Php, MySql, bash scripts, and Linux has made me more comfortable with setting up new servers and databases, and understanding and relying on automated bash scripts.

Having some understanding of Phyton's pip, composer, chocolatey, and npm seems to make life easier with auto installs; as I don't have to worry about version issues or dependencies.

My personal certification goal is MS SQL Server certification, but currently I am learning Qlik Sense on the side.

Completed UiPath - RPA Developer Advance Training

By Wasay
After a month of training, with late nights and weekends I have completed the UiPath RPA Developer Advance Training. The Level 1 Foundation Training pretty much covered all the basics of Desktop studio and workflows, only draw back was I started with the default foundation course which was for 2016, and all document reference links where pointing to 2016 version. I didn't understand it during the foundation training and kept switching to 2018 version document/page. Only after completing the Foundation course that I realized, I was suppose to have started with the 2018 version of Level 1 Foundation Training, but as it was optional I didn't have to retake the 2018 version, the 2016 was good enough for moving to level 2. The Level 2 Orchestrator 2018.3 Training as good. It gave good understanding of Queue's, Jobs, and schedules and I was able to complete the level two much faster then the level 1. The Level 3 UiPath Advanced Training was bit tough as it involved the a...

KB 294807 - IIS Server - PHP FastCGI 500 Error 0xfffffffe

By Wasay
Resolved issue today of IIS Server - PHP FastCGI 500 Error 0xfffffffe by deleting "Windows Temp" folder files. We used Cygwin to customize some permissions of "Windows Temp" folder and after few hours the website stopped working. The search online was giving all kinds of different solution except what I was looking for. I was hoping the stackoverflow will have answers but even this post didn't cover the issue I was running into. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15302080/fastcgi-500-failure Restarting the IIS didn't work, but deleting temp files cleared the issue, but now the problem is how long before the site will go down again? Hope the issue is resolved for ever, if not; I will update this post later.
