No, you don't use or put a comma before 'but' instead place it after it (but). Why? Simply because the word 'but' itself' acts as a comma, you pause when you get there. Never stop or pause the sentence until you get to the word itself as it acts out as a comma, even though there are some times where you can get a comma after it.
No you put a common when you are using by as a conjunction. You usually use a comma before for, and, nor, but, or, yet, or so.
