Goodbye AppFog, Hello OpenShift

AppFog and Heroku were one of the most popular PaaS services. But due to the limitations of service many moved out. At first when AppFog came, there were a lot of cool awesome features more than Heroku. For the Free plan AppFog had SSL, Custom Domain and other features. But by the end of February 2013, AppFog removed Custom Domain from free plan. Many customers (including me) got sad, angry and were trying to find another PaaS service. And Here it is, the next Awesome PaaS service – OpenShift. Here is the best part : OpenShift is created by the Open-Source legend Red Hat. How awesome is that ? OpenShift is easy to use, fast and reliable. I used it for like 5 hours now and I already liked it. I have moved the Demo site from 3owl to OpenShift.

Password Protect folder in AppFog

You won’t know the location of the .htpasswd file in AppFog. Hence you won’t be able to password protect folders in the normal way. To password protect folders in AppFog you should use a different way. You should add the following location of .htpasswd instead of the full location.
If the full location is :

The Location of .htpasswd in .htaccess deployed in AppFog should be :

../app/Blog/Password_Protect/.htpasswd

If the file is on the root directory, then the location would be :

  You can short URL&#8217;s on the site <a href="http://msurl.tk/" style="font-weight: bold;">MSURL.TK</a>.
</div>

<div>
</div>
As other projects the site is also hosted by AppFog and the free domain is given by My.Dot.TK.

It’s written in PHP as you already know it. 
The shortened URL only has 13 characters (without HTTP://).
The shortened URL will not have .php extension. I will tell you how to view page without file extension on the next tutorial.
Enjoy Shortening URL !
