Once HHVM (Hip Hop Virtual Machine) is installed and running, you might have an issue that shows only the Homepage of your WordPress site and the other links lead to a 404 not found. This issue can be quickly resolved.

Open the HHVM proxy configuration file using your favourite editor with root privileges.

sudo nano /etc/apache2/mods-available/hhvm_proxy_fcgi.conf

Add the following line to hhvm config file after editing the path to your WordPress installation. The following line of code assumes that the WordPress installation is in your root web directory.

ProxyPassMatch ^(?!\/wp\-admin\/)([^\.]+)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/var/www/html/index.php

Your HHVM proxy configuration file should look somewhat similar to this

ProxyPassMatch ^/(.+\.(hh|php)(/.*)?)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/var/www/html/$1
ProxyPassMatch ^(?!\/wp\-admin\/)([^\.]+)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/var/www/html/index.php

Now restart the HHVM

sudo service hhvm restart

This should take care of your permalinks issue.

The above HHVM proxy configuration file makes sure that all the php request are routed through HHVM. But if you want to route only specific php requests for a particular website or directory from your server to HHVM, then just add the config lines in your Virtual Hosts section of your apache configuration file. For example,

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName yoursite.com

    DirectoryIndex index.php
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/yoursite

    ProxyPassMatch ^/(.+\.(hh|php)(/.*)?)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/var/www/html/yoursite/$1
    ProxyPassMatch ^(?!\/wp\-admin\/)([^\.]+)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/var/www/html/yoursite/index.php

  </VirtualHost>  

  <VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName yoursite.com

    DirectoryIndex index.php
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/yoursite

    SSLEngine On
    SSLCertificateFile   /etc/ssl/certs/yoursite.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile    /etc/ssl/private/yoursite.key
    SSLCACertificateFile  /etc/ssl/certs/yoursite.ca.crt

    ProxyPassMatch ^/(.+\.(hh|php)(/.*)?)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/var/www/html/yoursite/$1
    ProxyPassMatch ^(?!\/wp\-admin\/)([^\.]+)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/var/www/html/yoursite/index.php

</VirtualHost>

Most of us aren’t aware of the fact that there is an issue with Google’s Privacy Policy. Well the problem is that Google allows those people who add you to their circles on Google+ to email you by default without even having your email address. This is a major concern for many folks out there cause they would end up with tons of spammy emails in their Gmail inbox everyday. The good thing is you can easily opt out of this by just clicking on the gear symbol on the top right. Now select Settings, scroll down the general category to Email via Google+ and select the classes of people who are able to send you emails. Lets hope that we wont have to deal with this Google Privacy Issue anymore.

Few months ago I had faced a problem with my desktop Skype, my audio wasn’t audible to the other person. I checked whether my webcam was in working condition. I use MS LifeCam VX-2000 and it has a built in microphone. However after checking with other system tools like Speech recognition in Windows 8, I found that my microphone was in working condition. So I checked the Skype microphone settings and found that the default microphone setting was set to my Creative Sound Blaster. I quickly changed it as shown in the following screenshots and everything was working fine as usual.

• Open your Skype for desktop PC and then click on Tools.
• Select Options.
• Now go to the Audio option and you can set the type of audio input that you want to use.

Is your YouTube Monetization Disabled? then, it may be due to any of the three reasons delineated below.

Monetization Reviews

If you do not own the rights for the video that you have just submitted for monetization review, then your account might be next in line for disabled monetization. If you repeatedly submit such videos then you are bound to get banned from monetization. You will never get back the ability to monetize your videos on YouTube using the same Adsense account.

Banned Adsense Account

If your Adsense account is banned due to invalid click activity or any such thing then you will lose your ability to monetize YouTube video using that account.

Community Guidelines

If you receive multiple Community Guidelines strikes, copyright strikes and/or worldwide Content ID blocks, you may lose the ability to monetise your videos on all the accounts linked to your AdSense account. All of your accounts must be in good standing to regain monetisation after six months. Note that account monetisation may still be disabled if you delete the blocked videos.
