So today’s problem was interesting. On my client’s website, after moving the code from one server to another, one of the functionalities wouldn’t work.

When doing an online interview it’s supposed to convert the video into a format that’s recognized by Safari so that all our Mac users will be happy.

However, the videos weren’t getting converted!

Solving this piece of the puzzle took some time, but I was able to narrow down the the puzzle to two issues!

The issue here was a couple of settings that the hosting company had disabled plus a timeout issue for the MySql and since the conversion takes some time to run it was timing out and needed to be increased.

Fortunately, I was able to change these settings and lo and behold the pieces of the puzzle were solved and the videos started to get converted to the right format!

As a web developer, I use my creative thinking to solve this and other problems, helping you solve the pieces of your puzzle in an effective way!
