if you are running Apache on a firewall system, perhaps to display a web front end for firewall configuration, how would you make sure that it is accessible only from inside the local network?
View 1 RepliesI'm running 10.04 without having installed a firewall is that ok? because, i'm also bugged by audio/video and mouse problems which build up and i must warm boot to remedy. (although the drum fanfare at start-up doesn't sound quite right ether?). furthermore i would like to open the port for my torrent client Transmission, but the elements of the web pge (192.168.1.1) are flickering.

I have recently ported from Windows to Linux (xubuntu) I am a developer, i installed everything i need, LAMP. Now in Windows i used to turn off all unnecessary Services, i don't need the Apache or MySQL service running all the time. I used: net start mysql
Whenever i needed it. How do i do the same in Linux:
1. Disabling not-needed daemons from auto-starting?
2. Starting them only when i need them?
I have run the apache service on my machine. Many people are accessing that server. Now, I want to know who all connected to my system. How can I get that information?
View 1 Replies View RelatedLet's say I have a Linux workstation at work, behind a firewall. So even though I may have a remote access server set up on it (such as the most excellent NoMachine NX Server), I can't access it from home.
My home network happens to have a Linux server. Is it possible to ssh from work to the home Linux machine and set up a tunnel so that once I'm at home, I can run the NX client, point it to my home Linux box on some port like 9000, and have that forward through the tunnel to port 22 on my work Linux box? How would I set this up?
I just installed apache2 on my VPS (running Debian 5 (lenny)). Problem is that when i start apache2 nothing happens.
Code:
ps ax |grep apache
and
Code:
ps ax |grep httpd
returns only the grep process itself, and

I configure my apache and can run http://localhost. There "I see it works!" but if I try to stop apache I get message that httpd is not started. I run
apachectl start - ok
but when I run apachectl stop it says "httpd (no pid file) not running"
I need to stop apache, because this is my dev machine and I want to start apache only when I make changes to my site. I am with slackware13.
I'm doing some light web development, I installed php5 and apache on my laptop and read that when running apache your computer is technically a server and is thus vulnerable to computer wankery. I'm looking for advice on whether or not I should install a firewall or if I don't really need it. The work I'm doing is not a professional website, just a place for some experiments. All the info I found on the web was targeted to professional web-developers, not so much for amateurs like myself. What do you think?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got a Shorewall (Shoreline?) firewall up and running, but it's logging to /var/log/messages. I'd much rather have it logging to another location e.g. /var/log/firewall but can't find (a clear enough) explanation on how to do this. Apparently, it varies greatly depending on the distro, the kernel, and the version of Shorewall that is running. You'd think it would be something as simple as setting a path in a config file, but apparently not. I'm running a stock Lenny kernel on the firewall machine. It comes with version 4.0.15 of Shorewall.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI think I have encountered a problem in the way that lucid handles proxy servers. I was having problems running apt-get update due to a firewall at my work. I also noted that I was getting 403 Forbidden for wget. So I went to System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy from my account (which has administrator privileges) and input the http address for the proxy server, and then clicked the button to "Apply Systemwide...".
Following that change, wget worked from my account, but whenever I tried to sudo apt-get update, I got the 403 forbidden response again, even though I could wget the same files that apt-get reported as forbidden. I figured that this was a problem with the root account, and so I typed
Code:
However, upon exiting from the root account, and trying to run sudo apt-get update again, I got the 403 forbidden code again!
So, it seems that the proxy settings are not being applied systemwide.
I now have a firewall up and running: almost perfectly. When I use nmap and perform the most comprehensive scan I can think of, it cannot detect any wide open ports (unless bittorent is running) and cannot fingerprint the OS. My last 2 questions about my firewall (I am very happy now) are:
It seems as though Firestarter has been "abandoned" by the developers, and that gufw is more current. Does it really matter which firewall I use because don't they all do the same thing? I like firestarters system tray icon a lot. 2nd question is I have two open|filtered ports. Are these still pretty well protected?
It is very pleasing to see that I have no open ports, because if you were an experienced Windows user like I was, you got used to the fact you were going to have open ports no matter what. Linux's builtin firewall completely destroys the expensive and useless scams they call Norton and McAfee. Linux officially rocks now
I'm thinking about cloning a system without having physical access to its HDD. Is it possible to simply copy the contents of the filesystem (using ssh/scp) to a freshly formatted HDD (maintaining the source fs-type and -geometry)?

I'm looking to run some R scripts on a mysql database (engine =csv) from the apache webserver.
The goal is to record some statistics/numbers while someone is logged in, pass those numbers to r, run some statistics algorithms on the passed set of data and output an image file back to the logged-in user's html web page.
Doing this along with knowledge on how to call general r functions from within a php framework would be great.
I need a webserver (LAMP) running inside a virtual machine (#1) running as a service (#2) in headless mode (#3) with part or the whole file system encrypted (#4).The virtual machine will be started with no user intervention and provide access to a web application for users in the host machine. Points #1,#2 and #3 are checked and proved to be working fine with Sun VirtualBox, so my question is for #4:Can I encrypt all of the file system and still access the webserver (using a browser) or will GRUB ask me for a password?If encrypting all of the file system is not an option, can I encrypt only /home and /var/www? Will Apache/PHP be able to use files in /home or /var/www without asking for a password or mounting these partitions manually?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI accidentially overwrote the first 1M of my harddisk on linux (using dd). So, the partition-table is gone. I can still access all partition (except the first one) using /dev/sda2 (and so on), so the data is still there. I only need the partition boundaries to restore the table. How can I do this? The Linux-Kernel must still know them because all mount-points still work. fdisk -l /dev/sda doesn't work because it acctualy reads the partition table.
