removing a file on a Linux server - richb201 - 09-08-2018
Somehow some of my local development files got on my server. In the attached screenshot you can see a file called "C:\xampp\php\logs\php_error_log". It shouldn't be on Ubuntu and is causing havoc. l want to remove it with rm. So I change to the /opt/bitnami/apps directory by using "cd apps". But now when I do a ls -l to list the directory I get:
bitnami@ip-172-26-10-99:~/apps$ ls -l
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 May 23 10:57 phpmyadmin
As you can see, "C:\xampp\php\logs\php_error_log" is not showing. So how can I delete it? if I type
sudo rm "C:\xampp\php\logs\php_error_log"
I get:
bitnami@ip-172-26-10-99:~/apps$ sudo rm C:\xampp\php\logs\php_error_log
rm: cannot remove 'C:xamppphplogsphp_error_log': No such file or directory
So how do i get rid of this thing??? I am aslo having a problem loading php. When I try to run php -v I get
bitnami@ip-172-26-10-99:~$ php -v
Failed loading C:\xampp\php\ext/xdebug.so: C:\xampp\php\ext/xdebug.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
PHP 5.6.36 (cli) (built: Apr 27 2018 22:46:36)

The only lines in my server's php.ini that refer to my local PC are:
include_path=C:\xampp\php\PEAR
extension_dir="C:\xampp\php\ext"
upload_tmp_dir="C:\xampp\tmp"
error_log="C:\xampp\php\logs\php_error_log"
mail.log = c:/mail_log
browscap="C:\xampp\php\extras\browscap.ini"
session.save_path="C:\xampp\tmp"
openssl.cafile=c:\users\richb201\.aws\cacert.pem
openssl.capath=c:\users\richb201\.aws\
So what do I change these to?
Any help is appreciated.

Richard, you're in the wrong directory.
If you look closely at your image, the directory that contains the file you want to delete is not ~/apps. You were in that directory, but then you went up one directory with cd ..
The directory that contains the file you want to delete is your home directory (~).
You should be able to do this:
sudo rm -f ~/C:\xampp\php\logs\php_error_log
or to make it easy on yourself:
sudo rm -f ~/*php_error_log
Just a tip; most Linux distros will allow you to type "ll" instead of "ls -l" or "ls -la". It's really fast. Give it a shot.

Thanks Brian. I'll check it out. BTW, I was thinking that perhaps my php install is pretty screwed up and I should delete it and reinstall a fresh one. Is there an easy way to remove the install and then a way to reinstall?
RE: removing a file on a Linux server - skunkbad - 09-08-2018
"Easy" just depends on your skill level. I have doubts that PHP is screwed up. Why do you think that?

Because I made a mistake and copied my php.ini from my windows PC to my linux server. There are many places in the php.ini that point at my local hard drive. I don't have a copy of the original linux php.ini. So I need a new copy.
Is there anywhere I can get a linux version of php.ini without re-installing?
I guess I could just create a new LAMP instance, copy the php.ini, and then delete the instance?
OK. I created another instance and copied the php.ini from that instance to mine. Now I just need to install Xdebug to it. Which one should I install? is there a windows version vs a Linux version. I know that I need 64 bit and I am using php 5.6. Do I need threadsafe for working with CI?

well my phpStorm is still complaining "Invalid descendent file name "C:\xampp\php\logs\php_error_log" ". This is causing phpStorm to show PHP version: not installed.

I know it can be difficult to give up Windows, because I was there once, but if you started developing your websites on Linux, you'd never have these weird issues. I use Ubuntu Desktop. Current version has PHP 7.2 which is a bonus.
RE: removing a file on a Linux server - richb201 - 09-08-2018
Yes. I guess so. In my routes.php for windows I have
$route['default_controller'] = 'Users/login';
$route['404_override'] = '';
$route['translate_uri_dashes'] = FALSE;
$route['registration'] = 'registration';
$route['login'] = 'login';
$route['subit_backend']['GET']='subit_backend/register';
Do I need to manually change these to be "\" to run on Linux? I have other things such as a view that has the following line in it
<script src="http://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
Do I need to change this to:
[i]<script src="http:\\html5shim.googlecode.com\svn\trunk\html5.js"></script>[/i]

No, you don't need to make that change.
