How to install Mautic on an Ubuntu Server at Digital Ocean
The server installation guide in the docs for Mautic is ‘pretty good’ but still expects that you’re already a system admin kind of person and now how to do stuff. I’ll walk you through the install in the usual way I do in hopes that it helps some of the steps. This link shows the server requirements users install apache2:…
Akaunting software – my sad situation with trial balance and possible need to leave
Well it pains me both financially and philosophically to have to start writing this blog but I need to do it so that someone else doesn’t end up in my situation. I made the choice to leave Quickbooks about 1 year ago today to https://akaunting.com/ . It is a very nice GUI and to be honest, it’s amazing… except for…
How to deal with the Akaunting default COA account setting error
After setting up my second Akaunting instance (great work, Akaunting team!) I realized again that there is a confusing setup step related to the Chart of Accounts “Double Entry” module. Of course if you are running a ‘real’ business you’ll absolutely have to buy this module, but after you set up your COA for your business, you’ll probably try to…
HOW TO RE-INDEX YOUR SUITECRM INSTANCE

It looks like I also wrote a cpanel version of the same need a few years back. Also I…
How to make a Virtual Machine (VM) Visible on the LAN with Virtualbox and Ubuntu

The buyers asked for all admin passwords to the server which the Sellers provided. However, these were just user passwords and not actual root passwords or system passwords to the actual box.…
Changing or Fixing the Site URL for SuiteCRM
Recently I moved my SuiteCRM from a slow shared host over to a Digital Ocean droplet to speed things up. It worked very well, by the way. So fast, and probably I save 10 minutes per day just not waiting for server, haha. Anyways, everything went pretty well except one thing: the emails that were sent out from the Workflow…
How to Backup your Akaunting Installation
If you are like me, you were attracted to Akaunting accounting software because they are one of the first nice looking and open source accounting softwares around that operate in a similar way to the ‘friendly’ GUI systems like Quickbooks online. I was so upset about not having control of the data and / or price plans that I decided…
How to Overcome a Prestashop 500 Error on Front End
The Background I upgraded my ubuntu server last week and after I did so, the Prestashop front end went down – but not the back end! Everything seemed fine because no one was checking the front end so after someone changed something in the back and refreshed the front they thought they had killed the site (and so did I!).…
