Debian Configuration :: Apache Working But No Outside Access / Sort It?
May 23, 2011
Having some memory loss i think (in my head not my pc). I have set up apache before , then changed to dsl in the last week and cant seem to get this new modem/router to work. i can get the loopback address to work, as well as the network ip. can NOT get my other machines to hit the server on the network .
also no connection from outside the network from port 80. my modem is a motorola (att) ,apache2 on my toshiba laptop, amd x2, 3gigs ram.
In a squeeze box, I installed awstats and it's working like a charm. Its cron job update the awstats database every 10 minutes (as it runs as root). But I would like to be able to update the statistics from the browser as well. So I setup everything as required and I gave "read" access to "others" to every apache log file. Now, a couple of questions came to my mind:
1. Am I compromising server's security giving "read" access to "others" to apache log files?
2. Instead of giving "read" access to "others", I could add www-data user to adm group (as apache log files are owned by root:adm and permissions are rw-r----). Is this more secure than giving "read" access to "others"? 3. If the option would be giving "read" access to "others" at the end, a log file would be owned by root:adm and its permissions be rw-r--r--. As apache rotates its log files, when Apache create a new log file, does it preserve the permissions (rw-r--r--) or create it with the default permissions (rw-r-----)?
I have no idea how I managed this, but I am able to connect to the internet but NetworkManager doesn't show any connection. This means that until I kill it, I cannot log in with Pidgin, because it is waiting for a connection.
Do I disable NetworkManager completely or do I try to make it recognize that I am connected to the Internet? If the latter, then how should I go about? (Please let me know which files I need to show you, because I know I've messed around with a couple).
I have installed apache php and mysql on my pc during debian installation... some of my friends complain they cannot access my webserver from their home and it's available only within my local network... Please help regarding this...
This is what writes when I enter localhost in browser and press Enter.
It works!
This is the default web page for this server.
The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.
http://localhost/~david/baby.php
Not Found
The requested URL /~david/baby.php was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.19 (Debian) Server at localhost Port 80
So , I copied file directly into /var/www folder, entered /localhost/baby.php and get this :
Server error The website encountered an error while retrieving http://localhost/baby.php. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly. Here are some suggestions: Reload this webpage later. HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.
So , it's not 'bout path or server .. or about php file (I tried few). I don't know what to do
My first message on this forum, I'm a new comer in the Suse world (after 10 years of debian, ouch) I really like this distro so far. Fast, clean, simple. I got an "acess denied" issue with the apache configuration though. I've installed apache through yast and configured it with yast-http. Permissions are okay and a index.htm file is in the directory.
I won't ask for a direct answer cause everything can be found on the wiki. However, I'm surprised that configuration files are not erased when the related software is uninstalled. I've spent the afternoon trying to make it work so I guess the config files are spoiled right now. I tried to erase all the config file but can't find the yast-http ones, so it does not launch the wizard like the first time. yast-http also warns about my network ruled by NetworkManager, and that it could not run properly with it, how come?
I am running a syslogd on my ubuntu 10.10 system. I have a apache2 server on the same machine. I have configured my apache2.conf file to send the error logs to the local syslog server.
The config is as under :- LogLevel notice ErrorLog syslog:local1
I have also configured the /etc/syslog.conf as under :- local1.info /var/log/apache2/error_logs
I have created a file in the /var/log/apache2 dir with the ownerships and permissions as under:- -rwxrwxrwx 1 syslog adm 77 2011-08-11 18:14 /var/log/apache2/error_logs
Next I restarted the sysklogd and apache2 servers with a service command as under:- sudo service sysklogd restart sudo service apache2 restart
I thereafter observed the /var/log/apache2/error_logs file and found the entries for apache2 closing down and coming up as under:- Aug 11 18:14:14 cc apache2[4940]: [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down Aug 11 18:14:19 cc apache2[5282]: [notice] ModSecurity for Apache/2.5.12 [URL] configured. Aug 11 18:14:19 cc apache2[5282]: [notice] Original server signature: Apache/2.2.16 (Ubuntu) mod_ssl/2.2.16 OpenSSL/0.9.8o Aug 11 18:14:20 cc apache2[5285]: [notice] Apache/2.2.16 (Ubuntu) mod_ssl/2.2.16 OpenSSL/0.9.8o Microsoft-IIS/5.0 configured -- resuming normal operations
Now the problem is I donot get any other messages thereafter. So it is hardly useful. How can I increase the logged messages from apache. I tried the facility: local1.*
Then restarted the sysklogd and apache2, but the contents of the /var/log/error_logs file remained similar. Next, I followed the link. I created the perl script for recording access logs of apache2. I then restarted the apache2 and sysklogd. when I opened my website from a browser, the access log did not work. I think I am getting something wrong with the facility value , in apache2.conf it is ErrorLog syslog:local1 ! but the script is suggesting that it should be local2 in the line 4 openlog('apache','cons','pid','local2'); I therefore changed the script to local1 in above line. But still no access log?
I'm new on debian, could someone help me out configuring out my wifi connection? I can't obtain an Ip i already installed b43xx for my chipset broadcom with wicd manager it seems to detect a wireless connection but when i tried to connect it can't obtain an ip.
I have setup Postfix + Dovecot on my basic debian 5 server. If I send a message to a localuser@mydomain.com from mutt, it delivers just fine and is visible when viewed through squirrelmail, I can also send just fine.
My issue is that irrespective of what options I set in main.cf, I cannot for the life of me get Postfix to stop erroring with "Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual alias table". I'm stumped.
My main.cf is as follows code...
I do not want to setup virtual hosting with MySQL or similar, I literally want to receive mail in local users mailboxes for a single domain. Any ideas on what's missing?
i do have a strange problem get running php5 on lenny 64 inside apache2. i had installed it as all instructions on the web does: # apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cli php5-common php5-cgi
apt has enabled php automatically, so /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf does have inside: <ifmodule mod_php5.c> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps </ifmodule>
I am using Squessze and Gnome. When I try to use the gui System>Administration>Network or Users and Groups I get the error The configuration could not be loaded. You are not allowed to access the system configuration.Everything was working before. I read around a bit. In some cases,it was caused by mismatching group and password files after using the gui. I do not know how to check if they are matching. Of course I do not know for sure that is the problem in my case.
I have a host system which is running Ubuntu and a guest system which is running Debian_squeeze on qemu VM. I need to send created traffic from Ubunto to Apache2 web server which is running on Debian. I made a bridge, and I can access internet from Debian, but this access is limited! I can just open some URLs not all of them! My question is how I can access the webserver from ubuntu?
I am trying to access logs Apache logs (I just installed Apache) and it is giving me permission denied errors. What permissions did you give to yourself in order to access these logs or should I just add this user(myself) to adm group?I can access other log files with no problems for example ssh logs.
I just installed a net-install of debian 5.0.6. with no GUI and Apache http d. Does anyone know where I can find or how to do a basic Authentication on my web server (user-name and password) I found some stuff but they include .HTpass (of Apache) etc etc, but I can't find them anywhere
Since a few month, I upgraded my configuration to an Acer Aspire E 17 laptop. I dropped the Windows 8 that was installed inside by default. Right now my hard disk looks like that :
- A Windows 10 Installation form the final released version's iso - A Debian 8.1 Installation with Gnome 3.x as desktop
As I am a developper, I enjoy Debian, the power, and the capabilities unlocked with Linux systems. However, I still need my Windows installation for design work, making templates, etc. For now, I need to boot Debian if I want to code, and to boot Windows if I want to use some proprietary programs such as Adobe's softwares. For a lot of reasons I can explain, I don't want to use alternative like Gimp, and I don't want to run so big softwares under Wine.
So, I want to do the following : I want to create a little partition formatted in ext4 on my disk (something like 10gb ?) and make this partition running my local configuration of Apache 2. This way, I could run my webserver, with the same files both on Debian (when I need to code) and Windows (when I need to design / template and to test some stuffs into my templates files). I could mount this partition under Windows using ext2fsd program, but this way of thinking supposes there is both Apache's linux binaries and Apache's windows binaries to run and manage the server in this partition (making something like a " portable " version ?) .
I haven't used Plone in quite a while and am having problems getting Apache to serve it up now. I'm using the same configuration that I used for proxying Plone sites for a couple of years, but now that same configuration now gives me the following error in Apache's error log: [warn] proxy: No protocol handler was valid for the URL /. If you are using a DSO version of mod_proxy, make sure the proxy submodules are included in the configuration using LoadModule.Here's the proxy modules I'm loading for troubleshooting purposes for now.
I've Googled this extensively and it seems most people who ran into this problem hadn't loaded the proxy_http module after upgrading to Apache 2.2 from 2.0.
Edit: BTW, I'm using Plone 4.0.3 now. I was running Plone 2.5 before. I don't see why that would be a problem though as VHM's are now built into Zope.
'm using Debian 6 (Squeeze) and I'm trying to migrate away from Apache to Nginx, but my Nginx installation seems to be showing some weird behavior.
aptitude install nginx-extras
/etc/init.d/apache2 STOP /etc/init.d/nginx START
the configuration file /etc/nginx/global.conf syntax is ok [alert]: mmap(MAP_ANON|MAP_SHARED, 33554432) failed (28: No space left on device) configuration file /etc/nginx/global.conf test failed
i have several sites hosted on one machine (Apache 2.2 on Debian). They are configured at /etc/apache2/sites-available/ with this configuration (part of it):
I'm having trouble implementing SSL on a AvantFax login screen. I've created the the certificates and keys and have them stored in /etc/apache2/ssl and I'm sort of stuck now. I've been following a guide but any changes to the conf files leads to errors. The system I'm using is Debian 5.0
my server into the public internet and must have my webserver [2.2.9 (Debian)] act secure. But this does not look very easy [I am searching, reading and working on it already the whole day ]. I read the apache docs, but there is a lot of stuff, which is different in Debian [lenny, 5.0.6]. Apache ignores the host-header given by the browser: [URL] are all served, but should be blocked. I new new to apachy, but on my IIS this works as expected. All browsers act equal [so no browser header problem].I configured two VirtualHosts, an excerpt:
The I go to my hosts file on any box, and add hugo's ip-address under the new name x. Then, x is served, although the host-header in apache Every user coming from the internet could make the same!
Setting up my Squeeze test box, I can't seem to get APache2 to find index.html. It keeps coming up with the initial "It works!" page.
On my Squeeze server, the /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file contains this line: DocumentRoot /home/www_local and that box serves the website perfectly.
On the test box, I created the /home/www_local directory and put an index.html file in it, then populated /etc/apache2/httpd.conf with exactly the same DocumentRoot line and restarted Apache. Still the same result -- Apache isn't finding my index.html file. I have grep'ed all the files in /etc/apache2 and /etc/apache2/conf.d looking for 'DocumentRoot' and it's not in any of them.
I have server with Debian and Apache installed. Webpage content located in /var/www folder. For failserver I have Windows server 2003, which runs Mysql service thats needed for library software. And on this machine theres Inetpub/wwwroot with library webcontent. Sofar its only accessible localy. How can make Apche webserver to take content from this local server machine and show it publicly.
I have an apache installation with /var/www/bob as the document root and the only site served up. I have bob as the directory's owner, and he is able to upload his files to that folder via ftp (vsftpd on the server). When a browser tries to access the pages, it simply gets a 403 forbidden. The problem occurs when apache2 tries to access the files bob uploads. The www-data user (Apache daemon) gets permission denied when I try to cat bob's files in the shell, so it's purely a permissions issue. What I can't figure out is how to give the Apache daemon the ability to read bob's files while also making certain it does not have the ability to modify any of them.
I don't know if this should be a followup to my prior topic [URL] ....
Each of the pieces I've installed all have an "Alias" directive in the conf file to link the directory where they live to be present on my server. For instance, DotClear lives in /usr/share/dotclear/web/ and there is a directive
Code: Select allAlias /dotclear /usr/share/dotclear/web that directs http://myserver/dotclear to that site.
Now, I've set up VirtualHost entries for my DotClear and Owncloud with their own hostnames.
The problem is when I go to [URL] ...., I get to my mythweb site.
This is not so good. So, for the sites that have their own hostnames, I removed the "Alias ..." directive. Of course, now I can't get to the hosts by going to the primary site which is probably fine, but I also still get my mythweb since that doesn't have it's own virtualhost entry.
This doesn't seem like correct behavior. Is there a better place to put the "Alias ..." directive so that it only works from one site and not all of them?
I am also thinking I should just link the directories into /var/www/html, but I'm not sure that's a better solution.
How to best manage both http and https pages on the same apache-server without conflicts. For example, if i have both 000-default.conf and 000-default-ssl.conf pointing to mydomain.com, and don't want users who visit mydomain.com without specifically type the https-prefix to be redirected to the https-page - how to handle users using browserplugins such as https-everywhere etc?
Another option would be to create a subdomain ssl.mudomain.com and have users who want to reach the ssl site to have to type ssl. I have tested several things with https everywhere enabled in my own browser, and it seems really hard to make this working the way i want, in one way or another i always end up getting redirected to the ssl-site automatically.
The reason i need this to work is because i run one site that i don't care much about SSL, that is the "official" part of that site, and i also host some things for friends and family on the SSL-part. This would not have been a problem if it wasn't that i use self-signed certificates for my ssl-site and the major user become afraid when a certificate-warning pops up in their browser and therefor leave the site.
I installed apache2 and mysql database on a Debian system. It is using reverse proxy on apache to redirect requests to apache2 running on any machine which is on Xen server as a Virtual host. I tried to install Drupal on it. Every thing went fine till I pointed my browser to: http://IP[/url] of LAN where Drupal was installed/drupal then I see an installation page of Drupal which welcomes me. I click install in English then it can not proceed to connect with database. Database configuration: Your web server does not appear to support any common database types. Check with your hosting provider to see if they offer any databases that Drupal supports.
I have created a database and username for Drupal separately. What should I check to. There is one more error http://Public IP/some location/ Is showing me contents of Document Root but there is a folder named drupal on it. When I click on it I get error. Not Found. The requested URL /drupal/ was not found on this server. Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny8 with Suhosin-Patch proxy_html/3.0.0 Server at
What things should I check in for? I am also getting errors like: - Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName on individual DomU's what should I check in. and on Dom0 when restarting apache2 I get following error. - Reloading web server config: apache2apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName [Wed Apr 14 15:23:05 2010] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts
we have moved and in the new apartment there's a connection with no external IP. Can I somehow access ssh from outside? There's absolutely no chance of granting a port from the ISP's side.
I have a windows based Domain Name Server (DNS) and I have a debian pc connecting to this network, obtaining an ip address via a DHCP server. I can ping any machine on the network using the ip address however I would like to be able to ping other machines on the network using their host names. For example I would like to be able to type... ping machine1HostName ... instead of ... ping 00.00.00.00 To do this I realise I need to tell debian to access the windows DNS but how can I do this?
