Ubuntu :: PHP5 And Apache Installed - Do I Need Firewall?
Oct 26, 2010
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?
I am trying to get PHP5 working on Apache 2.2.13. When loading the PHP file in the web browser, the server does not appear to be passing the php off to the interpreter.Instead, the browser just treats the first command as an HTML comment and displays the rest to the user.
I am installing opensuse 11.3 as a text-based web server. I have installed apache2, php, php-gd, php-pear and mysql... Now, I am trying to run the installwizard.php to install this LAMP app and any php file, seems to just download, instead of 'resolve to the screen' in the browser. When I run chkconfig, and see that apache and mysql are running. I have already restarted apache, and it seems to come up okay. I have created a test index.html file, and seems to be loading fine. I have googled for this, and it doesn't seem to happen to anyone else! when I try to yum install php, it says that version php5-5.3.2-1.31.i586 is already installed.
I am using yum, on the command line. Permissions are:
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'd like to use PHP5.2x instead of PHP5.3x on my Ubuntu 10.04. There is a small bug in Drupal where tweaking Views causes an error which seems to be associated with php5.3.
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?
Is there a firewall installed and running in 10.04? If so are there any gui tools for configuring it and where are they? If there is not a firewall, what should I install to get one properly up and running?
I just install 1 firewall using Iptables. Firewall includes 2 NIC: NIC1 <IP PUBLIC> NIC2 192.168.10.1 I installed 1 web server IP: 192.168.10.2 I have some PC IP range: 192.168.10.10->20
I set rules NAT on firewall and PC & web server can connect internet good, but I have problems: When PC access to web server with IP 192.168.10.2 that ok, but PC can't access to web server when using IP Public. But outside internet, I can access to web server using IP Public.
Rules on IPTables Code: # Generated by iptables-save v1.3.5 on Sun Mar 7 21:01:16 2010 *nat :PREROUTING ACCEPT [950:126970] :POSTROUTING ACCEPT [89:5880] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [19:1342] -A PREROUTING -d 209.99.242.124 -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.10.2:80 -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.10.0/24 -o eth0 -j SNAT --to-source 209.99.242.124 *filter :INPUT DROP [1599:157409] :FORWARD DROP [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [232:34452] -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -i eth1 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -d 192.168.10.2 -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i eth1 -j ACCEPT -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT -A OUTPUT -o eth1 -j ACCEPT COMMIT
I'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 am using vmware player, operating system is ubuntu. I have just installed the apache httpd-2.2.19. I am using the manual method. ./configure, make, make install. No error message.
When i run ubuntu, it gets into the terminal. From here, how do I know if my apache web server is properly installed?
and I am trying to set up a web server with mod_python installed with apache. When I run the ./configure for mod_python it gives me an error saying that can't find apxs. I have Ubuntu server addition and Apache2
The other day there were a number of updated needed on my server which I installed with yum (the software updater GUI). Now my websites are not coming up even on the server using http://localhost
I reviewed the info and found that httpd was updated to 2.2.3-45 and am suspecting that this is the cause of the issue. So my silly little question is how do I roll back this update?
I am running a vps with nginx as webserver. For some odd reason (I don't know if it was installed already) apache2 was running before nginx could start. After stopping apache2 nginx starts fine again. But, I want to completely remove apche2, but: root@vps2:~# apt-get --purge remove apache2* Reading package lists...

Apache2 is there and I can start it normally with /etc/init.d/apache2 start but I want it removed, how do I do that?
I have just installed a Virtual Machine with Debian. My goal is to set up a LAMP server to work with. I have installed Apache, PHP and MySQL, everything without any problems and following WIKIs.
Now, I have a problem, because I'm trying to work with folder within my /var/www folder. If I use the address http://192.168.1.103 in my Host computer's browser, I can see the "It works!" from Apache without a problem.
Now, if I try to see: http://192.168.1.103/test/ I can't see the index.html that is within the folder test that is on the path: /var/www/test Why is this? What do I need to do and keep this simple?
I haven't been able to get a working X11 environment on a Dell PowerEdge 1850. Using YaST without an X11 environment sucks particularly when you are trying to configure Apache. In addition, the Apache configuration files seem to have changed significantly since the last time I configured Apache on a SuSE Linux distribution. Where can I find good documentation on editing suseconfig files to ensure that I get the modules installed that I need for the collaboration tool that I'm installing?
i am trying to set up LAMP on an old pc i have installed linux, apache, mySQL and PHP following this guide Installing Apache2 With PHP5 And MySQL Support On OpenSUSE 11.3 (LAMP) | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials. i have installed phpMyAdmin but when i try and acess it i get this error
Error MySQL said: Cannot connect: invalid settings.
phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.
I wanted to remove apache and it worked but everytime it`s installed it comes with the old settings...and I want the default ones..I don`t know to manage an apache server but i`m learning! I tried these commands and not of then didn`t had any effect:
I installed Firestarter firewall on debian Squeeze.Now i note there is a gui available in System->Administration which apparently does not need to be running all the time - its not set up to start on boot.When I boot I notice the boot message has a line saying "Starting Firestarter firewall .... failed"When I am logged in and type "/etc/init.d/firestarter status" as the Firestarter FAQs say, I get"Firestarter is running... ... (warning)"I can run the gui manually and still same message.
I suspect this is an initial configuration bug. All firewall logs seem to be going to all three files. That causes a lot of clutter in the log files, and makes it difficult to see whether there are any serious problems being logged.
I am learning to setup firewall in my home for that i have selected four system(sys1,sys2....sys4) for testing .I have configured sys2 to act as a firewall with two NIC. sys3 and sys4 are inside the firewall . sys1 is not connected to firewall for testing purpose.
the IP assignments are follows :
sys1 : ( fedora, not connected to firewall i am thinking, But i am not sure )
what happened is that sys1(not connected to firewall) can ssh to sys4(connected,inside firewall),since the rules are written not to ssh form sys1 to sys4..
then I came to know whatever the request I give, It directly goes as sys1 --> sys4. Not as sys1-----> sys2(firewall)---> sys4 .and the firewall is not filtering and processing anything for both inbound and outbound (i think it's my mistake some where). the requests are directly going inside without firewall.
I'm trying to build firewall on Debian with 'Firewall Builder'. But it won't let me compile and run unless one interface is set as management. There are two interfaces on my computer: 'eth0' and 'lo'
I don't want to be able to configure firewall remotely, so could I use 'lo' as 'management interface'?
I can't seem php5 work with apache2. I am getting the text openning instead of php. I think this is infamous problem, found many suggestions adding AddType application/x-httpd-php .php, did that in/etc/apache2/apache2. conf and /etc/apache2/httpd.confwith no luck, it's still opening text
I have a ubuntu10.04 server 64bit, my application can under run under php5.2.x. So there anyway i can install the php5.2.x in ubutnu 10.04 without the need to source compile?
