I have a repository with two branches: dev and master.
My custom domain (https://example.com) is already registered and have my test branch already linked under https://test.example.com.
My question is: How can I bind master branch to https://master.example.com subdomain?
Thanks in advance!
Unfortunately such thing is not possible on github pages.
There is a workaround tho:
Create a secondary github account
Host your site under test.example.com
You will need to swap github users tho, which can be a bit annoying.

Question
Is there any way to point existing Amplify apps to new repositories? Failing that, is there a way to clone Amplify app settings (including Backend environments) from one app to another?
Background
I was a complete newcomer to AWS until several months ago, when I inherited responsibility for an existing set of AWS apps developed by another team.
In our AWS account, Amplify is configured to use GitLab repositories which were under the previous team's control. I got a copy of the code, but I don't have access to the repositories.
So I uploaded the code to a new Bitbucket repository, and now I need to point the existing apps in Amplify to the new repositories. My goal is to be able to push changes to my new repository and have Amplify detect those changes so the new build can be pushed.
3 Unsuccessful Solutions
I've tried approaching this problem from a few different angles.
1. Create a new app
I created a new app which points to the new repository, which proved to be very simple. But I didn't anticipate how difficult it would be to migrate settings (especially the Backend environment) from one app to the other. So I thought it might be simpler to point the existing apps at the new repository.
2. Reconnect Repository
I thought that configuring a new repository for an existing app would be relatively straightforward. Here's the procedure I followed.
Log into AWS Console and navigate to the Amplify service
From the list of apps, select the one I want to modify
Under "App settings", select the "General" tab
Click the "Reconnect repository" button
A dialog box popped up: "Reconnect your Git repository". It prompted me to select from a dropdown list of "Recently updated repositories", but that list was empty. There's no place to enter an address for a new repository, so this path seems to be a dead end.
3. Create a Connection
I tried to "Create a connection to Bitbucket" as described in AWS documentation here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dtconsole/latest/userguide/connections-create-bitbucket.html
But the "Developer Tools" console seems unrelated to Amplify. The connection was created successfully, but it doesn't appear in the "Recently updated repositories" list, and I don't know how else it can be used.
If you are okay with a CLI solution, have a look at the comment below from https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-hosting/issues/288#issuecomment-737192995
aws amplify update-app --app-id AMPLIFY_APP_ID --repository REPOSITORY_URL --access-token ACCESS_TOKEN
... worked for me, transferring from one github account to another
github account and repo. I know it's not quite what the OP was doing,
but thought it may be worth noting that:
The AMPLIFY_APP_ID is the last bit of the app ARN (e.g.
dXXXXXXXXXXXXX)
For github repositories, the access token is a
Personal Access Token (https://github.com/settings/tokens).
I gave it all of the repo and admin:repo_hook privileges. That had to be created from the repository owner's account, not a contributor.
This helped me to change that app to point to a different GitHub repository.
AWS CLI requires some setup though, the documentation is available here https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/getting-started-quickstart.html
Edit: You might also have to Reconnect The Repository using the UI after changing it using the CLI
I am a novice when it comes to deploying website. I have set up an EC2 instance and linked it to my domain. I proceeded to install Apache and I have obtained this result when I open my domain in browser.
implying I have done everything right until here.
Where do I go from here? I don't have prior linux experience one of the reasons for my situation. I need to deploy the cakephp project I have created.
I apologies for the rather broad question, it was only very recently that I learned to code.
Cakephp has a detailed documentation on how to install and configure cakephp.

I'm sorry for being dumb, but I am really stuck for few days. This is my first time using AWS. I have successfully installed LAMP web server under t1.micro on my customer's AWS account http://54.72.132.215/ following this tutorial . But I don't know what to do next after the installation. My goal is:
Setup a Domain
Run a Prestashop.
I hope you can guide me to the right path, I am totally lost. Thanks.
You need to register a domain with someone, this is outside of Amazon. Just google domain name registrars:
https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=domain%20name%20registrar
Then you'll need to point your domain to your Amazon EC2 instance. I would suggest using Route 53 to do this, another Amazon AWS service that makes it easier to setup and control your domains:
http://aws.amazon.com/route53/
Once you have that setup, visiting your name domain should show the default apache It works! page, if you've correctly setup your LAMP server. It'll look something like these:
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=default+apache+web+page&espv=2&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=yRfWU_v8OeHe7Abp1ICICw&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ&biw=1457&bih=881#imgdii=_
You'll want to add a new vhost for your new PrestaShop site, this will allow you to setup a specific set of files to serve for your new URL, and means you can add other sites to the server later on. Just a quick google shows multiple tutorials on doing this, here's one of them:
http://calebogden.com/multiple-websites-amazon-ec2-linux-virtual-hosts/
Then follow the tutorial in the PrestaShop documentation about installing PrestaShop via the command line:
http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS16/Installing+PrestaShop+using+the+command-line+script
Now I'm guessing that all those steps in one go is a little overwhelming, so I would suggest you break this task down into chunks and work on them one at a time, and post a few different questions on StackOverflow and probably ServerFault: https://serverfault.com/, as that is better suited to setting up servers.
To summarise you need to:
register a domain name and point it to your EC2 server, you should see the default apache page
create a new vhost to server web pages for your new domain
follow the guide on PrestaShop about installing the software
Treat each of those a separate task. This question covers lots of topics in one very general idea, the full answer to your problem wouldn't really fit in a single post.
ServerFault will probably have a lot of your answers already, regarding setting up domains and vhosts at least.
Is it possible to deploy different applications on the same VPS using capistrano, like on Heroku for example. Should I just change the folder that I am uploading to?
The resources that I found were referring more in deploying the same application in different states.
Thank you.
there's a good answer here https://stackoverflow.com/a/12829840/256917, if you followed a tutorial to setup your first site then it's mostly doing the same thing but setting different locations
I'm just getting started with Jenkins CI, and had a question which I'm
struggling to find answers for in the docs or online. Wonder if
someone might be able to offer some advice?
I'm attempting to use it to automatically deploy my dev and stage
branches of my Django projects which are hosted on a Github
organisation repository (ie, private). At the moment I have a user
"django" who can access the Github repo via a Github deploy key. My
Jenkins user can't access the repo. What's the best practice way of
dealing with this - should I be creating an ssh deploy key for the
"jenkins" user, or should I be getting Jenkins to run as my "django"
user? I've seen mention if a HUDSON_USER in a newsgroup post, but I
can't find reference to this in the docs.
Many thanks!
Ludo.
I have not worked with Github and so this answer may not apply at all, but we do use Jenkins and we use both CVS & Subversion for source control.
In our system, we use different username/password combinations for all three (Jenkins, CVS, Subversion), and it has had no adverse effects yet (it has been a year since we deployed Hudson - currently building 50+ projects).
As long as you can get Jenkins to access the repo using your github deploy key, you shouldn't have to change Jenkins to run as django, or create a jenkins user key for github. Personally, I would keep them separate.
Did you try this?
Contact your OS admin team to grant to access to perform few operations on your version control using SUDO access.
OR
run the command using
sudo -H -u <username> command parameters..
