How to upgrade Axigen mail server?

The procedure is dead simple! Mail server itself notifies you about the new updates in its admin panel. Head over to the given link and download the the appropriate file related to your OS. Usually a .run file.

1- First make it executable:

chmod +x axigen-10.2.2.x86_64.rpm.run

NOTE: here my version update may differ from yours.

2- Now stop Axigen.

3- Run the installer and go in an interactive way. JUST be sure to skip the Axigen post-install configuration wizard.

4- Now start Axigen.

NOTE: in case you want to take backup copy the folder /var/opt/axigen in a safe place. This path may differ based on your OS and your distro.

#mail_server #axigen #upgrade #update

Have you heard about CORS (Cross Origin Resource Sharing)?

If you know it, but like me you don't know it as you should and every time the bowser gives you a new error in console you again get wandered in the wilderness, I'd suggest going to the awesome link below and read thoroughly line by line:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS

NOTE: this article is fantastic! Believe you me. You will understand eveything you need to know exactly what is CORS and how to handle it properly.

An interesting thing in console of browsers:

You give ANY styling to console.log outputs! Here is how:

const style = [
  'background: linear-gradient(to right, #5433ff, #20bdff, #a5fecb);',
  'color: #fff',
  'padding: 10px 20px',
  'line-height: 35px'].join(';');

 console.log('%cHi there!', style);

By using %c you can give styles to your text outputs.

nginX by default does not set CORS headers for requests with error status codes like 401. There are 2 options here to add CORS headers:

1- If your nginX version is new you have the option of always to add to add_header:

add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' $http_origin always;

2- If you got error of invalid number of arguments in "add_header" directive, then use more_set_headers:

more_set_headers -s '401 400 403 404 500' 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin: $http_origin';

NOTE: when this error happens then in $.ajax or any similar method you wont have access to status codes. So be extremely catious!!!

How to upload a text content as a file in $.Ajax()?

FormData class is used to create a multipart/form-data inside of JS code. A sample code speaks thousand words:

var formData = new FormData();
 var blob = new Blob([YOUR_CONTENT_HERE], { type: "text/html"});
 formData.append("file", blob);

We have created a binary data from the text which is in the format of text/html, then I have appended the data as an input file with the name of file (which will be captured on server-side).

The Ajax part is utterly simple:

$.ajax({
     type: 'POST',
     url: 'https://www.example.com/storage',
     data: formData,
     processData: false,
     contentType: false
 }).done(function(data) {});

NOTE: DO NOT OMIT processData, contentType parameters.

DAAS: DAAS (short for Data As A Service) is a “central repository”/”cloud strategy” that facilitates on-demand accessibility of business-critical data by an organization’s users in a timely manner.

What is the difference between the below exceptions:

try:
     // Your code block
 except:
     // Your exception block

Vs:

try:
     // Your code block
 except Exception:
     // Your exception block

A bare except: clause will catch SystemExit and KeyboardInterrupt exceptions, making it harder to interrupt a program with Control-C, and can disguise other problems. If you want to catch all exceptions that signal program errors, use except Exception: (bare except is equivalent to `except BaseException:`).

NOTE: When catching exceptions, mention specific exceptions whenever possible instead of using a bare except: clause.

A better try & except:

try:
      import platform_specific_module
  except ImportError:
      platform_specific_module = None

Does that happen for you too, to CD into a wrong directory and need to get back to the previous directory?

Let's say you are in a long path like /mnt/new_volume/backup/files/archive, now you switch to home of your directory. In order to get back to the previous directory, you just need to issue the below command:

cd -
