So, it’s been a while. My last post here was back in 2021, and like most developer blogs, this one got pushed to the bottom of the list behind client work. I’ve been using AI more and more in my day to day development, so I figured it was time to start writing about it,…
I recently noticed my local magento install was running quite slow in the admin. After banging my head against the wall looking at VM settings, I finally remembered that Magento has logs. This was easily fixed by setting this value to unlimited and flushing the cache.
In order to copy files through scp when the remote server use a non standard port for ssh, use the -P switch. Do not use the ssh lower key -p switch, that is reserved for “preserve” which keeps the file timestamps and permissions. Example:
Sometimes your local branch name isn’t the same as the remote branch you want to push to. This recently came up for me because I needed to push to a specific branch to trigger a deployment.

Magento 2 comes with Authorize.net direct post as a payment method. Mostly due to the response url that Magento posts to transact.dll causing issues. You can debug those issues for a long time and eventually fix them, but it hardly seems worth it. For the longest time, Authorize.net and Magento were a safe combination, but…
I was setting up a new Magento 2 installation for a project. It’s the first time I’ve done it from scratch for a long time. I setup the code, vhost, host file rewrite to my local vm, etc. Went to http://mydomain.local/ and got redirected to http://mydomain.local/setup with a message saying “Too many redirects.” It turns…
I have run into this error while running a setup:di:compile in Magento 2. The error was caused by empty php files in my extension. I created a bunch of files to get the structure in place, but hadn’t filled out all of the files yet. Adding even an opening php tag and nothing else allowed…
