Server :: Apache2/Worpress Rewriting Url To Avahi's .local
Dec 18, 2010
I've got a home network that uses avahi's magic '.local' name service.
One computer is a server running Debian Testing/Apache2/Wordpress 3.0.x.
All the computers in the house have avahi-compatible service, so reaching the server is easy for computers.
I'd like to use my phone via the wireless lan to use the wordpress installation. The gotcha is, I can enter the ip address and get to the login page. The next page, the ip address is re-written to the avahi host name.
As an example,
1. I enter 192.168.11.110:100 and I land on the default page.
2. Click on a page of content.
3. URL is rewritten from the numeric address to the avahi, text address.
4. This is a 404 error on the phone. The laptops handle it just fine.
I've used mod_rewrite to rewrite my apache2 root (my.server.com/) to point to /var/www/drupal6/ instead of /var/www/. I also have a script installed in my cgi-bin (/usr/lib/cgi-bin) but since the rewrite I can't seem to access it. When I go to my.server.come/cgi-bin/test.pl, I get a page not found from my drupal.
Is there a way I can access my cgi-bin without resorting to accessing my drupal through my.server.com/drupal6/?
Background: I have installed drupal CMS which has a base address of my.server.com/drupal6/ as it resided in /var/www/drupal6/. However I wanted users to be able to access it as my.server.com/ so I added the following into my httpd.conf
Code: NameVirtualHost *:80 <Directory /var/www/drupal6> RewriteEngine on RewriteBase /
I have a few ubuntu machines in my house, 1 mythtv backend server with other services as well, 2 mythbuntu frontends boxes hooked up to tv's etc. I wanted to push the audio from my laptop out over pulseaudio to the machine connected to the AV equipment.
I could not see any other pulseaudio sinks in padevchooser... this lead me down the road to investigating avahi.
When I run avahi-browse on my laptop (hydrogen) it only returns the services published from itself:
My laptop has vmware on it, and I've changed the vmnet intefaces to not support multicast so avahi ignores them. but I'm still at a loss to why my laptop can't see the other machines on my network with avahi (mdns).
I got a peculiar request at work, and maybe you folks can help me out.I want to rewrite URL 'foo.com' as 'bar.com' (in the browser address bar) still display the content of 'foo.com'
I want a mail server that can relay mails to the internet using GMail and fetch the mails of different accounts into the mail server and distribute them to their respective users. I am using Postfix, Fetchmail and Dovecot. I have a PC with 3 users.I use the PC having Ubuntu 9.04 and share the internet. We all send mail and retrieve mail. We do use Evolution and Mutt sometimes. We want to send our mails with our email_ids without even logging in.
Hostname mail.myhomepc.com Domain myhomepc.com
[code]....
I have created my custom certificate using SSL. I've created the Postfix's main.cf file following a tutorial on the net. Currently mails are going fine, but with our local email_ids. I want Postfix to rewrite our local email_ids with the equivalent email_id on the net.
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

After upgrading from scratch to Ubuntu server 10.04 (previously 9.10), I noticed that my server was cast out of the Cheers bar , i.e., nobody knows its name anymore! (I have several Linux boxes on my home network).
Is there a new direction on how local networks are supposed to be configured? a new protocol? I know my problem is solved by simply installing avahi-daemon, but I wonder how other people are dealing with this issue.
I want to use remote desktop viewer. Onse I try to use connect and press find the ip address, it gives me: Failed to connect to Avahi server: Daemon not running Also, after restarting it shows Network discovery is disabled.
recently i notice this warning in my /var/log/messages avahi-daemon[4335]: WARNING: No NSS support for mDNS detected, consider installing nss-mdns! but i can't install it yum install nss-mdns No package nss-mdns available.
I am bit lost with configuring my apache2 web server. From the book I am using it says for me to configure apache2 to support PHP I need to execute "./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --enable-so". From what I can determine Apache2 is located in "/etc/init.d/apache2" folder. I used a Ubuntu 9.04 distro (I386 Server Ed.) to install the server. I added "Kubuntu-desktop" for viewing. Then performed web upgrade to Karmic 9.10. All went well !! Question is; Where do I execute a command to enable PHP support? Once again, the command is to look something like "./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --enable-so"
I aleardy set up an url rewriting before, but this time it does not seem to be working.To module is installed and activatedI created an htaccess file in http://localhost/entrepreneur/ contaning the following code:
I have to do but wanted to check first before I started messing around with my MBR.
Originally was running XP and installed WUBI 9.10 to play around with Ubuntu before doing a proper install. Got home from work tonight and removed WUBI leaving edited MBR with WUBI boot loader. I thought I might have to run fixmbr before installing Ubuntu but I assumed Ubuntu would write over WUBI edited MBR. Installed Ubuntu 9.10 and everything is fine but when I select XP from first boot option (Ububtu) it then takes me to another boot option which was from the WUBI install.
Basically to get to XP, I have to select it twice.
It's not a big issue but I know that this will annoy me and one day or another I will try and remove the second unnecessary option to boot into XP.
So if I have this correct I will need to run fixmbr from XP disc and then install Grub 2.0 from Ubuntu disc somehow?
Is this right? Is there another way I can delete the second boot option screen?
I recently inherited an Ubuntu server where the previous admin had installed sendmail and FCheck IDS.The issue I am encountering is that sendmail appears to be rewriting both /etc/mail/m4/dialup.m4 and /etc/mail/sendmail.cf constantly (at least once per hour).dailup.m4 never seems to change (other then the creation date), while sendmail.cf has the line describing who and when it was built changed.So far I have had no luck tracking down why sendmail would be rewriting these files.
I use mt-daapd music server to stream music to a couple of network music players (which use UPnP protocols). Recently (last month or so) I have found that on restarting my ubuntu system I need to manually restart the avahi-daemon in order for the music players to be able to 'see' the music server. I think avahi-damon is running when ubuntu first starts up. The output of a ps aux shows:
[Code]...
I'd like to understand why I need to restart the avahi-daemon and either solve this or learn a way to automate restarting it on system boot up so I don't have to do it manually each time. My system is ubuntu 9.10 64 bit and the version of avahi-daemon is 0.6.25
I'm running 10.04 with Apache2/PHP5.x I wanted to test some basic cgi scripts, but my browser is displaying the code (#!...) If I run the scripts on the console, they work fine so CGI is not the problem, it's apache. To install the CGI module I ran sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-perl2 with no problems. By the way, I installed Apache through apt-get instead of doing it manually, but it seems that the installation divides the conf file in different parts, so the regular apache2.conf has this:
Code: # Include module configuration: Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.load Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.conf # Include all the user configurations: Include /etc/apache2/httpd.conf # Include ports listing Include /etc/apache2/ports.conf [Code]....
I can't figure out what I need to do to get CGI working on my server.
I seem to be having a problem with mod_proxy and https websites. A simple connection to port 80 works fine but all calls to 443 fail.
I had a look at my firewall but can't see anything that would block port 443, although I get no tcpdump traffic on that port on the deb01 client when I try and connect to it. I disabled the firewall but still no luck.
My configuration consists of 3 VMs (KVM) each running a different website.
I get the following error when connecting to ssl deb01
Code: An error occurred during a connection to deb03.example.com.
SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.
I am having some problems after installing apache2-mpm-itk on my Debian 5.4 server. From my understanding apache2-mpm-itk will run child processes as root until a http request is received. It then suid's to the username in the VirtualHost directive. This is all working fine, as I can see a few apache processes started by a specific user.
However, the problem is when I try to restart apache. It will kill all the processes running by root but wont kill any of the processes that have been suid'ed to another username.
When i attempt to restart I get this error:
Code: charged:/etc/apache2# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart Restarting web server: apache2 ... waiting (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80 (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
[Code]....
If I do a "ps aux | grep apache" before and after I see all the root processes killed, but processes running as specified users from VritualHost directive remaining.
Now I am not an extreme linux power user, but I know a bit.
I downloaded grails [URL]... and installed it. Created a sample application hello world. It was running successfully. In browser [URL].. I was able to see grails running. Now comes the problem. To be able to always start the grails application running after boot I wrote a script in /etc/init.d/software_grails its contents are
[code]...
I have to open command prompt and go to /root/helloworld and then execute grails run-app. you dont have to write the name of application to run it. logging of boot messages is enabled /etc/default/bootlogd BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes. then I opened /var/log/boot.
[code]...
But it does not work. If I am not wrong then above method will work ONLY WHEN some one Logs in not on boot time. Is there a way where I can embed grails in apache2 they [URL]... have not mentioned any thing about apache2 to deploy my applications.
I would like to ask how can I optimize apache2 load on my dedicated server. I am hosting Facebook applications on it, but most users will get a Timed Out message when they try to access it. I was tinkering with MaxClients directive in apache2 config, and it got better, but still it's not best. Programmers are trying their best to optimize the applications at their side, but I am afraid this is an server issue.
I want to learn perl CGI. I tried to configure it on apache server. But when I was searching about it in the net, I faced some difficulties. Each and every post has been leaded me in different way. I am confused now. I have done this,
1. Installed this libapache2-mod-perl2 module
2. Then I checked the /etc/apache2/mods-available/ using ls command for checking the module availability.Here I mentioned the output of ls command.
I have a problem about redirection over Apache2 over Debian Lenny. We have build a LAMP, and our programmer make a software with these features:
When you put on your browser (i.e.) [URL], you access to the program in /var/www/vhosts/hugohome/inside. And when you put [URL] you access to the program in /var/www/vhosts/hugohome/outside. Today, if you just put [URL] our Apache answers 403 (forbidden), because we had blocked folder access. (You know....isn't the right way). Our Apache's Document Root is in /var/www/vhosts/hugohome.
Our goal is to change definitely [URL] to access -> /var/www/vhosts/hugohome/inside. This is our main intention. Also, we can continue with [URL] pointing to /var/www/vhosts/hugohome/outside. I thought, hmm easy!: I can change the DocumentRoot to /var/www/vhosts/hugohome/inside and try with an Alias to outside. But the problem is that the programmer has taken the software reference with /var/www/vhosts/hugohome and when I tried to change the Document Root the programs didn't work fine (loops, error 404, etc).
How can I do?. I have tried with Apache with many manners, but I just have a relative success with: "RedirectMatch ^/$ [URL]". It works, but the Browser shows the ugly [URL]. Our intention is just show [URL]. Unfortunately we can't work directly with the DNS servers, and I guess that I can resolve with (i.e.) Apache and Bind together.
why apache2 won't run my shell script i made.So in detail this is what i want it to do. I have a apache2 web-server running on my mac and i found some shell commands that control itunes so i wrote a shell script that basically pause's itunes. Now i have put the shell script in the cgi executable folder. and the link for the webpage is http://10.10.0.110/cgi-bin/itunes.sh but when i goto the page in my browser it just keeps loading. I have run other scripts and they work and i don't think you need root access.
Im currently serving a web in apache2; no problems I recently set up squid to filter internet for my LAN users.
***i dont want squid to accelerate WEB requests in my apache2.
So the problem is that SQUID blocks my 192.168.1. LAN denied attemps, so far, its ok BUT IT ALSO BLOCKS ANY OF THE INTERNET USERS TRYING TO REACH MY HOSTED WEB.
Can i have both servers in the same box without interferring each other?
Its a silly problem but I am facing it.The OS is Debian Lenny ,apache2. I am having a webserver.www.mydomain.comand site1.mydomain.comsite1 is on a webserver which is on LAN.
On main server i.e. our Gateway in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ I have
I'm a web developer and I make plug-ins for various shopping cart softwares on demand. because of this I'm constantly installing carts and then immediately updating them/modifying them. The problem I'm having is that I'm having to update the permissions manually all the time (every time I copy a new cart into the /var/www folder). Instead of doing this I'd like apache2 to run under my user, so I don't ever have to update the permissions again. How do I do this?
