Networking :: Set Up Webmin With Apache2 Http Server
Jun 14, 2010
I have recently downloaded and installed apache2 http server from tarball source (i'm running ubuntu but i think its more fun to use tarballs i don't know why but its how i am) anyway i just installed apache2 and when i go into the servers section of webmin and click on apache web server i get this message:
The Apache server executable /usr/local/apache2/conf/ does not exist. If you have Apache installed, adjust the module configuration to use the correct path. and when i go to the configuration menu i don't understand a word of it.
I have a server acting as a proxy to a couple of IP cameras on my local network. The IP cameras require HTTP-Authentication (Basic) but I want the outward facing Apache server to automatically log in without prompting the user for a login.
My current configuration is:
Code:
That works as a proxy but still asks for a HTTP Auth login. Can I get Apache to pass the login details to the IP cameras so users can just hit up the proxy and view the camera without having to log in?
I have installed LAMP. Configured acc. to documentation. I have installed webmin and able to access it. Configured Apache2 and able to access default website www.url.com from public network. But now when I am trying to run [URL] as alias, I am really confused because whenever I type [URL] in web browser, it shows me webmin file instead of GUI. I followed this documentation: [URL]. Anyone have webmin running as website?
Tried to install pptp vpn server via webmin, and I tried connecting remotely from my laptop, but it keeps failing on the verify username and password - I get a error 778 it was not possible to verify the identity of the server. Not sure what could be wrong with the config..
I have suse10 64 bit installed. I am setting up a svn server on it. After installation and adding the modules ,while reloading the apache2 it's throwing the error as: HTML Code: httpd2-prefork: Syntax error on line 113 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 31 of /etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/loadmodule.conf: Cannot load /usr/lib64/apache2/mod_dav_svn.so into server: /usr/lib64/libsvn_subr-1.so.0: undefined symbol: apr_memcache_add_server

I installed Nagios on my Ubuntu 10.04 server using apt-get and when I accessed the web console, everything was OK. I made some changes to apache (creating some new virtual sites) and since then Nagios gives me a warning message for HTTP with the message, HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found. The sites that I created are working perfectly. I noticed that the attemps are 4/4. Does this need to be reset or does Nagios automatically reset that once it detects the issue is resolved?
Using netcat, nc(1), craft a valid http/1.1 request for getting http headers (not the html file itself!) for the main index page of www dot aalto dot fi. What request method did you use? Which headers did you need to send to the server? What was the status code for the request? Which headers did the server return? Explain the purpose of each header.
nc -v www dot aalto dot fi 8080 HEAD / HTML/1.1 host: www dot aalto dot fi And it returns: 200 OK Content-Length: 858 Content-Type: text/html Last-Modified: Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:46:01 GMT [Code]....
I really don't know what does it mean. Question 2: Using netcat, nc(1), start a bogus web server listening on the loopback interface port 8080. Verify with netstat(, that the server really is listening where it should be. Direct your browser to the bogus server and capture the User-Agent: header "Direct your browser to the bogus server and capture the User-Agent: header" I don't understand this question.
I have a registered domain that resolves (via dyndns) xxx.mydomain.com to my external facing router -easy no issues there. Behind the router I have several machines (some VMs) running webservers, mail etc... What I want to be able to do is redirect the external traffic based on xxx to the relevant internal machine and serve the content back to the external world.
I have tried using a http rewrite of xxx.mydomain.com to the relevant machine an it works fine from within my network, however externally the re-direct fails as the master DNS servers have no record of internal DNS setup in my network (obviously).
So is there anything I can do to get xxx. recognized externally? I'm only just starting to get my head around how DNS, HTTP, TCP etc all hang together. Am I barking up the wrong tree with rewrite? Should I be looking at proxys?
I'm trying to set up a server for an NPO who connects to the Internet through an internal proxy (Websense). I can't access the Internet unless through the proxy.
Since it's a server I did not install a GUI so I'm wondering how to connect the new server to said proxy server. I have the IP address, port number and username-password for the proxy server. The new server has a static IP address and is ready too go!
One of my ubuntu 10.04 boxes starts apache2 server automatically at boot. I know from the output of the command:
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 status
I can't remember even setting that up, and I don't think it does so by default, since my other box in fact does not even have apache2 server installed. I can stop the server once I login, but is there a way to stop it from automatically starting the server, or even better, completely uninstall the daemon. I tried
Code:
sudo apt-get remove apache2
but that does not work. I guess the daemon is part of some bigger package.
Ok so I've been all over Google trying to find an answer as to why my MPD server won't properly output over httpd. When I try to connect to it from any source, it gives me a "404:Entity Not Found" error. There hasn't been any useful info out there to solve this problem. Help please! Attached is my mpd.conf file. All my permissions and firewalls are set up properly AFAIK.
i am forwarding HTTP request to a internal server, it is quiet successful but access logs donot show the ip of the external m/c. Rather it shows the ip of the machine on which i have enabled port forwarding.
I have an apache server running on my ubuntu machine. I can view them using my local ip (192.168.1.6):80/. And my friends can view the things hosted on my server using my external ip (example http://123.123.123.123:80) but when a friend links back to me to show me what they are looking at and share the moment, I can't view the link, it simply redirects to my router login page.
I had an older linksys router and this could work fine. I could click on the links with my external IP and it routes back to my server for viewing.
Remember to note that I am on the machine that has the server, and I'd like to be redirected out and back to it so we can share pictures back and fourth without me having to replace the external IP address with my local one just to view that link in the browser.
Some time yesterday, I lost the ability to ssh my remote server, or even visit any webpages it hosts.
I've explored hosts.deny, /var/log/secure and even turned iptables off to see if it would fix anything. To no avail. Here's what my ssh login attempt looks like:
I have had webmin running previously but i just recently installed Unbuntu server and i am now trying to install webmin. after typing this to install webmin sudo apt-get install webmin it started doing its thing and then it halts.
Giving me the following message: "Package webmin is not available, but is referred to by another package. this may mean that the package is missing, had been obsoleted , or is only available from another source."
The first thing i did after installing webmin was edit the sources.list
Then i tpyed sudo nano sources.list I uncommented everything with "deb" in front of it
I also uncommented
deb cdrom:
I then typed this sudo wget [url]
After getting that i typed this apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl
We're having an issue with HTTP POST file uploads on our two Ubuntu PCs. For some reason, whenever one of our users attempts to submit a file in an HTML form, the request times out, usually with a 500 Internal Server Error message. This problem is not limited to one site, but occurs on all sites that use file uploads. Also, the problem does not appear to be with our network, as a Windows 7 PC on the same network can upload files to the same sites without any difficulties. The problem is not browser-specific; we have tested with Firefox, Epiphany, and Google Chrome and all produce the same results. The issue is relatively new, and was first observed within the last month; before this time, both machines had no problems uploading files.
Does anyone have ANY idea what could be causing this? I've tried a number of things, including rebooting the PCs, rebooting the network, disabling IPv6, etc. I'm not very experienced in Linux system administration, but I can use the terminal and am familiar with some terminal-based diagnostic tools, so if you need any additional info or want me to try something, please let me know! I've exhausted my own computer knowledge with regards to finding a solution to this problem.
I'm trying to setup a Centos 5.6 Squid Proxy Server with Content Filtering & Antivirus Scanning Incoming HTTP Traffic from the Internet
I then proceeded to setup an configure the Proxy Server, i was able to test and confirm that Squid and Dansguardian Content Filter is working, however i dont know if Clamav is scanning HTTP traffic before it hits the client/server. Is there a way i can check if the Antivirus scanning is working.. is there some log file or real world test i can i can do to confirm that Clamav is scanning incoming traffic or even blocking potential viruses ??
Anyone who has squid proxy server with Clamav configured and its working can share there settings/setup with me and how they tested it ??
I encountered a a dependency issue when trying to install Webmin on Ubuntu Server Edition 10.04 Beta1.
When you try to install webmin, libmd5-perl is not available in any of the lucid repositories:
I resolved the dependency prob by adding the following repository to my /etc/apt/sources.list: deb [url]
Then I did a sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get install and libmd5-perl installed fine along with webadmin. BTW. I got a GPG error when doing a apt=get update because I did not import the public key for the debian repos I used to get libdm5-perl, which doesn't matter to me as I commented out the repos once I got libmd5-perl installed.
linux i have configured squid with dansguardian but not able to block the sites and url.. i am accessing dansgaurdian through webmin.. please help me out in the above (with screen shots)
I am current following this how to guide: [URL] I completed it and I am in the testing phases before I make it a public server...I plan to use webmin as my administrative tool on my 2 web servers...Should I install webmin on my load balancers as well? The reason I ask is I want to know if there is any benifit to put it on the load balacers...Would I get any added features?
I installed OpenSSH via tasksel and am using Webmin for administration. I'd like to be able to SSH externally and want to setup the necessary public/private keys to use in FileZilla.
In Webmin, under Servers > SSH Server I can click 'Host Keys' and see an RSA key. Is this the public or private key for my server? Do I need to copy this into a text file to import it into FileZilla on my remote PC (that I want to connect from)? Is that all that needs to be done (aside from opening the port on my router/firewall)?
Is there an automated way to set this up via Webmin?
I recently installed Ubuntu server 9.04. It appears to be functioning correctly in that I can acces it from other Windows machines ony my network. I installed Webmin to remotely administer this server, however I cannot connect using Webmin from my other machines. I am only running Samba on this server at the present time.
I attempted to access the webmin conf file at /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf but permission wasa denied, evenas root.
To make my problem simple to understand I've attached a picture. Basically, in the Webmin>Apache configuration page, where I used to also enable/disable the modules Apache was using (on Ubuntu 8.04) I've noticed now that the option to configure the modules is no more (on Centos 5). So, I'd like to disable and enable some modules but can't, like the mod_python for example which gives me hundreds of errors in the Apache's logs, but cannot.
how to view the Apache modules again in Webmin?
just noticed can't attach images... here's the link to the picture: [URL]
I have a computer running Ubuntu 10.04. I have installed Webmin on it and everything is working fine except for the GRUB module. I wish to know if there is a new GRUB module that supports GRUB 2? It may be beta or an unofficial one.
at the computer shop we have an ubuntu 9.10 server that we log into via ssh or webmin today i was trying to ssh into the machine and got connection refused, so i logged into webmin and found the ssh server not running when i tried to start with webmin it i got the error
Code: failed to start ssh server * /dev/null not a character device went over to the shell command part of webmin and issued ls /dev -l and looked at the output and found something of concern
I'm a newbie here but I have a question on how to make the connection between webmin and thunderbird via POP3. I have webmin set up and it is able to send and receive mail via webmin but when I enter the account details in thunderbird it cant find the settings for my mail account. I'm not exactly sure where I need to go in webmin to set it up to allow a connection from a client to allow the downloading of mail to the client. Would simply prefer to go to thunderbird to send and receive mail as opposed to logging into webmin then going to my mail.
I run a web server using mandriva 2010.2 , I use webmin / virtualmin to facilitate the administration of virtual hosts, I've tried using nginx module for webmin that is in [URL] but for some reason the module could not be used by webmin.
