Posts about Magento 2 findings.
In my opinion, the best way to handle Magento 2 multi site urls is to use the Nginx or Apache config to set the store code based on the URL. Nginx is the best production server web server, but Apache can serve as a good local development server. The Apache setup is simple, you just…
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…
