I have a VPS (Mosso Cloud Server) that is administered and monitored by Platinum Server Mgmt. I have CentOS 5 and Apache 2.2 installed. I requested that my Document Root be set to /var/[URL] and also a subdomain setup to /var/[URL]. They responded by telling me that it would, "[This would] cause a problem with the permissions and that it will be a permissions conflict if you set them to /var/www/. For security and compatibility purposes, they should be in /home/username/.... It can be put anywhere in there." This is the first time I've been involved with any server administration, but while coding on numerous private vps's before, they had a setup similar to what I was requesting. Am I incorrect in my understanding of the previous situations and the Mgmt company is in fact correct?

I am running an application that requires use of my /etc/hosts file. In it, I have my machine name and its LAN ip address. The program creates a service on a specific port, then attempts to connect to it based on the host name. So my hosts file has to be correct.I added the nameservers to resolv.conf and now my application will not run. My guess is that the computer is checking the name servers first, timing out then checking the hosts file.Is there a way I can tell the system to check the hosts file first, then DNS. I thought it should behave that way by default, but it does not appear to.
I have set up apache on Centos 5.5 and am struggling with vhosts set up.With the config I have set apache will correctly serve sites with a document root of
/var/www/html/home/myuser/public_html but not /home/myuser/projects > ls -al shows public_html and projects as having identical permissions (755)
Integrating a website with my billing agent, they suggest:"Make a directory named 'data' outside the document root of your websiteYour password file (.htpasswd) and others will be stored in this 'data' directory. You must create the data directory outside your web root".How do I get around this and get a browser to access my /data directory and not my /var/www/html/data directory?
I am trying to get apache to start at boot in Fedora 10 but I am getting "Document root must be a directory", I tried to change the Selinux settings with: chcon -R -h -t httpd_sys_content_t /www
I checked the new settings with ls -aZ and the changes apear to be fine. apache apache unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 But I still get the same message on my boot.log file.
I wanted to know is there anyway we can change the document root location /var/www to some other custom location. I tried modifying this location information in couple of conf files in /etc/httpd, but I started receiving lots of error messages from selinux on labelling issues. So I had to revert back.
I've set my document root directory in httpd.conf to the directory I want to serve files out of, and set Options to Indexes FollowSymLinks; I've saved the configuration file and restarted apache, yet when I direct my browser to the domain name that's seated there, I can't get at my index.html which exists there. It serves index.html when it exists in the natural document root.
how can I run CGI scripts that are without extensions under the document root?i can not use ScriptAlias on the document root, i can run .pl scripts but i cant run any script without extension...ofcourse all files are executable on the fs.
I was particulary suprised to have nothing in my logs regarding an IP address conflict in Linux compared to the windows and its popup !Did I miss something in the logs ? Or is there someting to configure to have it ?Otherwise can I do something to have the date in the dmesg log file ?Here my story about this problem :My linux machine was monitored by Nagios so i've seen some Up/down/up/down phenomene when I came to work this morning. I tried to figured out what's wrong browsing the logs (messages & dmesg & mail/root)... but nothing usefull so far...Then I hearded that a collegue booted a old Windows machine the day before. I checked this machine and there was the classic windows popup regarding a IP address conflict! So that was the problem, the Windows machine have the same IP than de Linux box.I was particulary suprised to have nothing in my logs regarding an IP address conflict in Linux compared to the windows and its popup !Did I miss something in the logs ?

In /etc/apache2/sites-available/default, I changed my 'Document Root' and 'Directory' from /var/www to /var/www/newdir.have an index.php file in /var/www/newdir I use to authenticate, but when I try to redirect back to index.html in /var/www, i get a 404 error.Anyone have info / know where the link to this discussion is
I've had apache installed for a couple of years with no problem but this morning I thought I would change the apache document root to my secondary disk so that my WAMP setup in my Windows partition and LAMP could share the same files. I've edited the etc/apache2/sites-available file to point it to the new location of my document root but I am getting a 403 - forbidden "You don't have permission to access / on this server." error when I try to load files through the browser. I'm not sure if this is a permissions issue or the way I've edited the sites-available config.
Here is the new sites available config: Code: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost DocumentRoot /media/Data/webroot <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None .....
I'm now configuring my web server to server different Virtual Hosts based on DNS name. Right now I store my files in /var/www per the default installation settings in Apache.
Questions: I want to change the Document Root to /home/username/public_html/example1.dyndns.org for the second virtual server. What do the permissions need to be in order for Apache to read the files in this location? Would it be best to force Apache to run as this new username instead of www-data?
My Virtual host setup will look something like this

Running CentOS 5.3 Recently installed - manually, not with yum, the rpm distribution of the latest MySql (5.1.34) as I needed the latest version, not the one that YUM lists. I am now trying to set up (for the first time) an email server on the same system, and I have been led to believe that postfix and dovecot are the way to go. However when I try to install dovecot I get this:

Basically I have a triple boot setup on a mac pro tower. Windows /osx /centos 5.3 everything was great until I tried setting up my Wacom. I did get it setup but in the process revealed a problem I was having that I didn't notice until this point. Mind you my system boots perfectly everything runs perfectly except I believe my DVDrom and rear usb ports are trying to share the same IRQ and from what it looks like they don't want to play nice with each other. Eventually CentOS kills the IRQ thus killing both devices. Everything works fine on the windows and mac osx side. I have tried unplugging and replugging the DVDROM, I wanted to try another ide channel but the motherboard only has one. I have changed the device from auto to master to slave. When the DVDROM is removed i have no IRQ errors in my dmesg. I forgot to add that adding IRQpoll to my grub boot pretty much destroys the system.... hard lock within 20 seconds of loging in. In CentOS, is there anyway that I can force the DVDROM to it's own IRQ?

I am on mac os x and whenever I make aliases in my apache config file to point to folders outside of main web document root folder, I get access forbidden. I have chmod -R 777 the whole destination directory (to test it) and still no go. Access forbidden. I have also tried pointing directly to [URL].
how to get xsane to scan a document and have it display as a full 8.5x11 sized document instead of something half that size? I've been trying and trying and can't seem to figure it out.
Anyone have better documentation or an update to the this version of the file Tomcat HOWTO openSUSE as that document is referencing 10.2. Or a document for use with SLED.
I'll start by explaining what my system layout currently is. I have Fedora 11 X64 installed on my system, it is an HP Dv9380ca laptop. My system has 2 hdd /dev/sda /dev/sdb. During the setup i set my home directory to reside on /dev/sdb. After booting i realized that my root and swap partition are part of a volume group name vg_sharpfed and are set in fstab as:
Disk /dev/sda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x1aecda8d
[code]....
My /dev/sda2 partitions is 100gigs and set as an LVM. Essentially what i am getting at is, if it's possible to temporarily copy / /boot and swap to my second partition, edit grub if needed and fstab to mount to the temp locations, format sda to ext4 create partitions for / /boot and swap partitions, then copy back the original directories edit required fstab to mount the original locations and no longer have them contained in a Logical volume.
I have apache httpd server on my Fedora 10I got 2 problems:First : I copied the web page files to its Document Root <var/www/html> & Disabled the default web page. But when I visit http:/localhost ，it shows up the list of files in <var/www/html> as if a ftp server browsed in web page. So how can I set http://localhost load my default web page index.html ?Second :I want to set up a web server on Internet through my router . I applied for DDNS account & input it into router correctly . I set virtual host in server to redirect any access from port 80 to 192.168.1.2:80 in LAN . Just for in case , I also download and running the DDNS software & installed it on PC 192.168.1.2 in LAN . My DDNS provider is oray.cn . It's a Chinese server provider . I don't think there is anything wrong with oray.cn . But if you need its information just visit oray.cn (Google can translate it for you). So I want to know did I miss something to set up a web server in this kind of situation
I'm not exactly new to the linux world. I've been messing with it for six months now. I recently decided to host a public web server out of my home. The is nothing business related merely personal.Now that you have a brief background I will bring you the technical details.I'm apache2 with php, joomla, and mySQL on openSUSE 11.2. a dns server is currently configured. My problem is as follows I set up apache initially and used the default index.html page which simply says It Works. I configured my DNS at the domain registar godaddy.com. After changing the A record to point to my IP the server worked. I then proceeded to install Joomla which installed correctly.Now here is my problem. When I attempt to pull up my domain it appears my DNS is longer working properly and get a DNS error. When I attempt to go directly to IP with my server I still get the initial index.html that says it works. I'm not sure how this is possible and I have cleared all dns info, temp files cookies ect.... I have also had other people test this is as well. I've check my root document pointers for the apache website and they all point to the correct location.
My set up is as follows
Modem Router Windows 7 Machine Sun Microsystems Virtual Box with openSUSE with the network adapter bridged so it can obtain an IP from my router
I'm completely lost at this point and have spent 2 days trying to resolve the issue, any help would be much appreciated. I look forward to everyones reply.
I was trying to edit a file requiring root permissions, so I used sudo. I typed the root password and it failed. This happened three times, and the process was ended. I then logged in as root (su) and was able to navigate to the file and make changes as root. Am I missing something? How would I edit the sudoers file such that this password would work? Or is there another way to log in to the sudo group to make these changes? How do I set sudo passwords?

We have moved from a Windows based SMTP server to Sendmail on Cent 5.5. We have a special application that was written to look at the "BadMail" folder on the Windows box. I am told by my developers that it is capable of monitor remote locations and they just need to know the format or extension of the badmail files.
My question is what is the default location of the badmail folder in Sendmail? This is a default install from CentOS.
For security reasons I need to ensure all of my users screensaver is set to come on after 10 minutes of inactivity. My thought was to find the screensaver config file, modify a setting in the file to 10 minutes and change ownership of the file to be root (so the user can't undo my changes either in the file or via the gui). However, I can't find the screensaver config file to do this. I'm running Centos 5.2. Anyone know where I can find the screensaver config file?
