The development and testing of the project were completed as per the schedule, but “content migration” was in a dilemma. He had more than 700 events and each race club had to be added as content. This data was available in a database called “Filemaker”. We had not anticipated this much content. We were at a vulnerable state when the client said that he will not pay us the additional cost for migration as it was our responsibility to confirm the number and format of contents before development. At first, we started adding those contents manually. But we realized that this just was not feasible. The client gave us a day’s time and asked us to come up with a solution so that the migration could be completed with less few of people and days

The Initial Days I joined Zyxware in February of 2012 as an Intern. I just graduated fresh out of college and was not at all aware of how corporate life functions. I remember hearing my cousins/seniors talk about clients, projects, on sites, etc. All this fascinated me deeply though I never really understood what it meant.

He has created a new S3 bucket and a new user. He needs this user to only access this new bucket. Let's call this user "new-user" and the bucket "new-bucket". I was not sure how to do this, but eventually I was able to. Read on if you want to know how to do this.

What do you usually go to create a virtual host? If I am right, then you will copy the default file, change the contents, add entry in host file and then you will enable the site, right?
